I registered this domain name exactly 20 years ago! How time has passed, right?
Back then, this website was running on my good old “barracuda”, a closet web server at my parent’s apartment, behind a 24 Mbit/s ADSL Internet connection. Uptime was spotless, unless my mother decided to run the vacuum and couldn’t find a free wall socket.
Of course as any self-respected home-hoster from the early 2000s, I was running my own MRTG page for every NIC. (LWN, which stands for Ljungby Wireless Network, was my failed attempt to start something similar to AWMN (Athens Wireless Metropolitan Network) in my little town of Ljungby. Of course this endeavor never took off, as Sweden had the pleasures of “fast” and affordable ADSL Internet back then, which the lack of mostly motivated the creation of vast metropolitan wireless networks in Greece.)
Here is a snapshot of what this website looked like 20 years ago. I remember it being a little more orange, but I guess we should be thankful that the Internet Archive is still around at all. Btw, the CMS I was running back then, before switching to WordPress around 2007, was CMSimple which somehow is still around as well.
There is a high chance I did compile Apache before you were born.
Remember kids, there is no cloud, it’s just someone else’s computer…
See you in another 20 years!
