The photo gallery is a series of unrelated photo groupings.

The new one at the end is less than one page high
as it is only one photo reduced to 1/8 pixel count.

The entry you mentioned is a series of larger photos.

The latest is titled:

"Supper Fri 13 oct 2023".

Duck Duck Go can be used standalone without installing an add-on.

That's true. In the English language the noun is spelt with a "c", but
in Murken it is "s" in nouns and verbs.

It's actually a relatively recent version of Firefox on my computer.

For fun, I also have a Windows 98 laptop that sits beside my couch on a
small wooden table. An ancient browser is hacked to work with TLS
1.2/HTTPS on the web, but it's primary purpose is to play solitaire.

Careful, Greg. The Lord works in mysterious ways.

Tempt Fate at your own risk. That nursing job John
keeps harping about might be wiping your sorry ass.

Naw, God "protects" me, Mike:

"Visiting an untrustworthy website has been prevented

One or more of this website's certificates are invalid, so we can't guarantee its authenticity.

This happens when the website's owner hasn't updated the certificate in time, or if it's a
fake site created by scammers.

Visiting a website like this makes you more vulnerable to attack.

You were protected from visiting this website by Kaspersky security.

You can close this window with no risk..."

I ran a personal website from around 1998 to 2010. The only people who
knew it was there were family. It was HTTP and if still up would throw
the error messages that some people are seeing now.
I was leoblaisdell.com which is a dead link now.

Looks like your host kept it up until 2016 or so.

I'm still up and running under BinkP and telnet. Telnet using port 24
to shenks.dyndns.org or shenks.synchro.net. That will take you to the
BBS. The server machine is beside it and is 1 of 5 systems worldwide
that handle BBS messsages and file traffic in a peering setup.

Well I'll be damned. Thanks, Bruce! :)
At some point, I had this as my title photo.

<https://postimg.cc/FfX4CPSg>

I drew it myself! Ah, the olden times.

Thanks again! I still have all the markup, CSS, Perl scripts, etc.
somewhere on my computer, but I have forgotten how to do everything.
I used to be quite the denizen of alt.html.

I used to manage a couple of personal websites, but I don't even
remember what the domains were.
