any time, nice site as well

Man, your Sonic yearbook from 2021 is INCREDIBLE. I think I've got to spend a whole marathon writing about 'sites I like

Hey there, you can call me Sonic-two-kay, that's how it's pronounced :) I did those manually at the time, these days I use the HTML5 and CSS way in more recent pages. The Projects pages, the images there resize themselves, I don't do any resizing on those.

Thanks for the feedback on the yearbook :) appreciated

O-kay! Hey there, Sonic2K! Heheh Did you manually put them through a program like Photoshop or GIMP? My process 'n thoughts right now is to make a template project file and add the picture I want to it, resize it down, center it where I like it, export it and drop it over on my 'site. And that's fine...... I'm just that person I guess trying to find another way :) That's great that resizing with CSS works for you!

Hey there, it's a pleasure. yes I follow you, so when I see your updates I like your drawings. :) Thanks for the follow too :)

Thanks! It is still a work in progress :D

thank you so much eee!!

- through a freeware program........ I've been thinking of making part of my 'site or a seperate one that uses a table layout and older things for fun, I was thinking of putting Real Media files on there. Definitely wouldn't use 'em on my main 'site and *mainly* use RealPlayer.... no. Been wondering what people's experiences were with it long ago and thought: why not ask you?

In those times, due to where I lived, internet was slow and expensive. Another factor was that I was poor, and computers were expensive back then, which meant all I had was a knock-off Pentium II clone that could barely play a GIF file. Mid-1998 the internet speed was 33,6kpbs here, so video sharing was deemed basically a non-starter.

Early in 2000 I was finishing my work-back period at the state owned telco. I used that last opportunity before I left, to download the Sonic OVA, it took an excruciating 14 hours overnight to pull down a 266Mbyte 640x480 video compressed with MPEG-4, and when I got it my computer didn't have the grunt to play it. During 2003-2004 we got our anime, movies everything from LANs and/or anime screening weekends

In 2005 broadband internet arrived, albeit <1MBps... and with ridiculous data caps of 3GBytes. But there were ways and means to bypass it, and that we did... And then came YouTube.. 2008 was when I got into it really

And now we have 400/400Mbps optical fiber into my home... but I don't take it for granted because I remember the times when my lousy, slow, internet connection COST MORE than this state-of-the-art

@sonic2k Thank you so much for telling me about this! I've always heard and known about clones of electronics but I haven't even heard of clones of CPUs before? I guess you could only load web pages with text & images to a point..... and there was the option to disable images and scripts built into browsers or separate extensions

I bet that felt really good to be able to download the whole Sonic OVA at your workplace at the time, or if I'm misconceptioning; they provided you internet at home. But sad that you didn't have enough computer power to play it :( Anyone can overlook at how MPEG-4 can run fine and play on any computer nowadays, but codecs are powerful, complicated things

Were the data caps from the ISP? Wondering how that worked..... that's great you were able to get past it And nowadays with fiber internet, we people get frustrated and spoiled when we're downloading from a slow server!
