"When I first started experimenting with the web in 1995, we had notepad. And perl. I took it upon myself to learn a bit of each. Three years later, when the web started really taking off, I found I had better things to do than keep track of the moster table nests you had to use in those days to make a page work, and full-blown CMSs weren’t really viable, so you tended to update an entire site manually. What a pain in the ass...I have a Mac, and I use TextMate." [learn html]

Ah, yes. This takes me back. Trying to do html first in Netscape Navigator, then Adobe PageMill. The marquee, the blink-blink. I remember them well. Is it only 8 years ago that I put up my first web site? 1997. Such a long time ago. Here's what my first site looked like. Lovely big graphic and ugly frames.
