Rooting through some old files recently unveiled one of my earliest creations, the 2nd incarnation of my Flynnduism website, dating back to 2003/04…
This would have been my 3rd ever encounter with HTML, and my first with Flash, I wanted to update my initial Flynnduism website (which was setup on a free .tk domain, anyone remember those?) with comething neater and edgier. At the time I was listening to a lot of White Stripes, whose sharp red & white colour schemes (I had this poster on my wall at the time) no doubt played a hand as inspiration for the design, as well as Dinosaur Jr who soundtrack the nice but ultimately clumsy flash intro movie.
Be warned, the volume on the intro is fairly loud, with in-built no option to mute!
Looking back, some aspects of it make me cringe – the in-your-face intro, the iframe layout and the very dodgy HTML coding, but there’s still a sense of pride in what I managed to achieve with my then-basic skills when it came to the web.
