My first website

It all begun from a post I read at Maria’s website. I went back to the very first moments I realized that websites aren’t that bad and, “what the hell, I need to make one for myself”.

My first website was a Flash one and there were no alternatives. You see, 10 years ago whatever non-Flash was of no use.

At that time I remember myself playing with Bryce, that software in which you could create 3D landscapes. Is Bryce alive? I have no idea. Well, Bryce was OK but I needed more. Such as software which could help you create websites.

I turned to Flash. I learned the basics and when I felt ready I loaded in there my Bryce images. I added some texts I had already written as the editor of the university magazine and that was it.

Since I had the content ready I only needed some animation (because Flash *is* animation), a bookmarks area and a contact button. Ready, set, go.

Now that I look back to those years I feel overwhelmed of what’s gone. Not because I used to live the best best moments in my life, far from it, but because you always feel the nostalgia of something that doesn’t live anymore. I love my first, clumsy website and this may be a perfect opportunity to tell (and invent sometimes) stories to the next generation in the future.

Here is the link: porcupine’s creek.

Some parts are in English, some in Greek and, yes, the navigation sucks. Please refresh the page in case you get lost.

PS. Maybe this website is the perfect new year’s resolution. Happy new year everyone!
