A Few Notes

It's funny, this Internet doodjimahickey.

A Z-grade low-minor-league part-time techno DJ in Japan can write a fan site containing absolutely nothing musically, and end up being on a list of actual Detroit techno artists years later, even though a) that person has never technically been to Detroit other than walking through the airport, and b) the site in question was Microsoft Paint Stick Figures in French from 1997 until early 2003, when Yahoo! bought GeoShitties out and killed the site. It was my first attempt at a Home Page™, and as such was quite near and dear to my heart.

The rather dull techno-fan site was eventually revamped, and moved here. The muddy, nondescript page, although incorporating then-fresh web techniques (Javascript mouseovers in the pre-Flash era), was never finished; I spent most of my time working on the afk-mn WebCenter archive site detailing my antics on the Usenet newsgroup alt.fan.karl-malden.nose. That site went through two incarnations: the first, a flaming page called "firestorm.", was lost during the unfortunate (naah, I consider it a blessing now) failure of the company I worked for in 1999. I was able to rescue the WebCenter on floppy before the collection agency gangsters beat down the door, but the rest disappeared into the ether.

After that, I lost the FTP password for my ISP's web account, so for the last four years Underpass Records has sat deep in the directories of some server somewhere, getting no hits for months on end. Dead. Cold. Dark. The tomb of the net.

Until mid-2003, when I was finally able to get my ISP to cough up a new password. It was when I logged in for the first time in 48 months that I also discovered this, a little page of RealAudio snippets made by who is now Kid Whatever. Compare the dark, angry beats of this collection of tracks made circa 1998 with the new, cute-attack PockyPimp™ style of the modern YKPeate, and you'll see how much he's changed in 4 1/2 years.

I have since moved on to other things, creating a wacky rant/anecdote site called GOD HATES JANKS!!!1! in 2002, which is now getting more hits than probably all of these previous little pages combined forty-seven times over. Even though that still adds up to a grand total of 60 unique visits by human beings per day.

So, the smoke clears, and this site was preserved long enough for me to consider it a bit of personal net.history. This particular page is naught but link-engorged filler.

That's about all there is to this site. See you on the other ones.
