This site pissed me off, because of the way I browse. I middle-clicked it to a new tab, waiting for me to get to it in a few minutes, part of a small list of tabs similarly spawned from HN.
When it finished loading (and it must have taken 20 seconds, whatever that says) I was confronted with some kind of "Dallas" TV show blast.
I was startled (but I'm older so you can probably just ignore this reply), and I was pissed that I had created this noise to disturb the people around me.
It's the exact same reaction I have when I queue up a site on another tab, and an advertisement does what this site did to me.
Great resume.
I like this kind of personal site, looking just a web 1.0. I enjoy even more the www.about.me personal pages.
Pud, what do you do in blippy? Me and some friends, here in brazil, are starting a web site that goes for a similar approach. If we could change some mails, would be fine.
Pud was checking out my homepage not so long ago. I like static and simple show-n-tell homepages for developers that build stuff, rather than some linkedin page, or anything requiring navigation. There's probably even a startup in it somewhere for people to keep track of changes to such pages.
This makes me smile to know that at one point this was actually cool! Even though I am not old enough to know what that time was...I have just heard stories!
