What'd you use it for? How'd it go?

I've had a few, nothing anyone could ever care about honestly. Mostly it's just been nice to have places over the years where I could write some posts or put up some pictures I like without someone else having the power to take them down.

Apart from that, I have a site for my defunct podcast and another one that's just a simple web application for building formatted SQL Server date expressions.

Specifically for the Wolf Web, my old Greasemonkey script had a thread-flagging feature for NSFW content that relied on a web service I hosted so users could report a thread or post for flagging. That probably doesn't work anymore, but who cares, no one is using it anyway.

During (and right after college) me and a friend had NCSULiving.com. It was making very decent money, and then we expanded it to UniversityRenter.com. That also made pretty good money (more like good side money than fulltime job money), but it got neglected as heck, and eventually kinda fell apart.

Besides that, http://www.ecojoes.com/ (until kids basically stopped that), and https://PeckYeah.com (which is still going, but not doing a ton).

Besides those, I've had a good amount of others, but those felt like the main ones worth mentioning.

I'd link to some of these in Archive.org... but it looks like that's offline right now!

^it's back online now. They seem to have struggled with keeping uptime in the last year. I think they've been getting attacked a fair share as well

Don't blame CrazyCode for you being a web developer but not knowing how to encode a URI component.

It’s the rice shaped minerals. Probably abiotic origins though

^^You would insert your own Unity ID, but I can't link to mine because I haven't been a student for nearly 20 years.
