A flip book of original art by NYC comics artist Andrea L. Peterson. On the last page, a "tell a friend" form sends an invitation with a link to the page and an image of the book's front cover, sent via php mail for a seamless experience.

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 started developing a popup script with a link back to the opening page around 1998. It has gone through several stages of refinements. At first, it opened an html web page in the little popup window, but as server speeds improved, the popup web page loaded too late to capture the opener's address. To cure this, the MR function opens the popup and writes the html code immediately into the popup, so the link back is accurate.

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).
