I began this site about at the end of 1998...it was originally all done in regular static HTML with each product category having it's own page. Eventually this became too hard to maintain.
I realized that I would have to look to a different solution and learned how to access and maintain a database with ASP. I then redesigned the site to be more dynamic and easy to maintain with online administrative tools to be able to update the database of products on the fly.

This was the very first web site that I created. I was in 11th grade and the gifted studies teacher made us choose a project for the nine weeks so I figured this HTML stuff would be easy to learn...after that I was hooked. I occasionally update it, but the last thing that I added was a script approximating the length that me and my wife had been together and married.

I created this page a couple of months after my first web page. It's pretty much a humor page about the teletubbies...those anoying british creatures. I used pictures that I picked up while surfing the web...they weren't pictures that were copyrighted or anything like that....These pictures were heavily distributed at the time I made this.

This was the first site that I was paid to make.

The owner of the business was my neighbor and I said, "hey Ric...want a web page?"...surprisingly enough he said yes and I began work on it.
The site is pretty simple because he wanted it to look like a brochure that he already had made up.

I began to work on this site on freeservers mostly so I could have a place to put scripts and resources as I came by them so I had them for future reference. I made the DHTML interface so that for every request for information you wouldn't have to request another page from the server.
I continually update this page with little snippets of code that I come across or aything new that I learn. It's kind of started to evolve into a weblog...but we'll see.

The message board at this site was created by as a personal challenge...I wanted to see if I knew ASP and database design well enough to be able to create and manage a message board...I succeeded. the board is fully functional, allowing you to post new messages and reply to other messages.
It's hosted on the Ewebcity free ASP hosting service which I've been using as a testing ground for new ASP scripts and techniques.
