just to have it written down here.

this appears to have been the first site, launched probably in early 1998. it was very basic - it just held some simple html files.

http://members.tripod.com/~inri_2/

archive.org DOES have this site, but it's marked to hidden. and i don't know what to do about that...

the next thing that appears is a crosswinds site, initially at:

www.crosswinds.net/ottawa-hull/~inri/

and later at

www.crosswinds.net/~inri/

i had some kind of ralph wiggum video game or something up; i can barely even remember. it was funny. besides that, it was the same collection of simple files - a cd list, a few things about some music projects, some links to mp3.com and not much more. this was also in early 1998.

archive.org does not appear to have this archived at all. i'll need to see if i can contact the crosswinds people...

the third site that came up was at fortune city, i believe in 1999. it just carried on.

http://www.fortunecity.com/business/staff/715/main.htm

i was able to get a very small amount of that from archive.org, and think that these servers are dead. the site had been long destroyed by 2012.

the site moved to the carleton servers from there in mid 2001 and stayed there until 2006.

the site has largely been offline since 2006, but has shown up in pieces here and there. i was mostly posting to facebook from about 2009-2013, when the current system took over.

if anybody has ideas on how to find those archives, i'd be grateful.
