Here at netsperience 2.x, I will continue my research, pushing the limits of code to discover new ways for web pages and sites to function. Really.
Thanks to Drupal ("community plumbing"), we now have a place to get together and meet, my clients, my colleagues, and hopefully, some new friends as well.
I tried out a lot of javascripts from libraries, and modded many with added features, better style, or just plain better function. I prefer to use off-the-shelf open source code as a starting point, it saves time (and saves money for my clients). However, I developed ideas for functions that weren't in any script libraries, so I had to cook them from scratch. I collected a few of these original and unusual javascript widgets, doodads, and apps at jsgenie Scripts.
I set up my first web page at GeoCities in 1996. Even then, I was interested in dynamic web pages, and I used meta http refresh to load a transitional page, and then my resume. Since then, my web site there has grown to the limit for free hosting (15 mb), and I decided to upgrade netsperience to a web host with php and mysql as well as other amenities not available at GeoCities free hosting (well, you get what you pay for).
You can still visit the original netsperience 1.0 - a good example of what can be accomplished with DHTML and JavaScript - no php no mysql - just client-side programming.
What can I say about a web site where I developed personal projects for over 10 years?
