    Not because it's that bad just because I'm embarrassed to have worked there/on the site.

    ph3n0m - ACK! My eyes!!

    Thankfully, I am not a designer, or I could probably top that ;-)

    As a programmer, though - one of my demos was recently discussed on thedailywtf.com (the daily "what the ****??") [1].

    to be honest, it's not a bad demo, but there are easier solutions for most cases the demo might be used for.

    We've got more in common than you think... I used to work there too! When did you work there?

    I just took a trip down memory lane to the first websites I put live on the net. A lot of the images are broken so it's hard to find one to "showcase" here! This is the earliest I could find that has all the images on it. It was for my student union in dundalk from around 2002. There are others earlier than that but all the images are broken so can't really show them.

    Suffice to say it wasn't long enough ago. Last time I brought them up on a web forum I got myself banned for making "unsubstantiated claims" so I'll leave it for the time being.

    My blog's going live next week; I'll have plenty of substantiated claims to make then.

    Been going through archive.org and I really cannot do it. I would hate for the world to know what my first ever attempts were.

    Uggggg.

    TheMenace, looking forward to your blog. Do you work for a company now or freelance?

    I'm doing a little bit of freelance still but I'm mainly sucking the corporate wiener during the day. I've left the small web agency sphere behind once and for all. Too much stress, too much poor management, crap salaries and some pretty vicious personalities that have left me bitter as a box of lemons. Still, I'm looking forward to meeting some web 'companies' that come through the doors for pitches to exact my revenge. No, not really.
