Support Your Trooper. Think What You Want of His War.

Update 2025: This was pulled from the wayback machine. This was the website I built when I was 17 years old, on Yahoo! Geocities. The domain was ozda.com, and for anyone interested, Geocities charged $10 a month for both server and DNS hosting. This contrasts with my current site where the DNS and server hosting are two separate entities. Linode charges me $5 a month of my virtual server, and Namecheap charges me $12 a year for DNS hosting. So 20 years later, it costs me less to host a site. To be fair, I'm not using sites like wordpress or squarespace, and I'm managing a lot of the webhosting myself. This including cert upgrades, server maintenance, and web development. Having to create my websites from scratch instead of using templates. My geocities site was also from scratch and it took FOREVER to get all the tables and div layers aligned with the images.

I've made minimal changes to this site, preserving it as something of an early internet time capsule. I'd been teaching myself web development since I was 12, using "view source" on Netscaler Navigator to piece together markup language. I used a combination of div layers and html tables to format the site, as well as CSS and Java Script.

The site contents are going to appear here in the central body of the webpage, but there are going to be broken links and poor redirects. I will not be fixing that, as the intention is preservation, down to the code I used to build the site. The imperfections are a part of what I want to keep.

Thanks for peepin'! ~Kipp
