Hiya,
[updated 5/2: Links removed; don't want Search Engine placement! ]
Well, I just have to share this. I just uncovered some of the old files I archived for this site (I'm an electronic pack rat)... so I've uploaded a couple of "historic" iterations of TONMO.com. Despite the influx of new members since the Colossal Squid story broke, we have many, many "old-timers" who have been visiting TONMO.com for years. However, I highly doubt there's anyone here who will recognize the links below!
Lots of the links, etc., will be broken and whatnot since it obviously hasn't been maintained.
First, here's TONMO.com as it looked in the late 90's and early 2000, before it had anything to do with octopuses. It was, in fact, originally called "The Leading Provider of Wasted Time Online (try it and see!)". Basically, it was my site with links, plus a Webcam picture I updated every two days. I had a free science news feed (now defunct) plugged into the homepage.
The biggest attraction of this site was my Silverfish article, which is still a big hit with friends and relatives to this day. The About TONMO.com section is fun reading as well (for me, at least), telling about the origins of my personal Webspace in 1995. Check me out, throwing around the term "Weblog" in early 2000! So here it is:
The original TONMO.com
The site looked like that for years (in fact, that was the last snapshot of that site in that format, because only two days later, it became an octopus site...
**first ever** TONMO.com page -- launched Memorial Day, 2000. ha! I'm so embarrassed! Dig that logo. And "squid-like creatures?" hahhhahahhahah!!! Yeah, I'm "fairly studied on it"... too funny!
