HISTORY
To be honest I did not start webdesign yesterday. Here we go for a semi-interesting story about how I ended up where you ended up now. 2000 I started quite like everyone starts: with a bad site and bad content on a even worse freeserver. Even though my site was not too qualitative with regard to design, I put it together with much love and interest. Frankly I started html because I wanted to delete the ugly border around linked images. You know what I mean? I needed this fucking "I-did-not-even-know-WHAT!". And so I just ended up there, in my source code, trying to change whatever it was and then this whole world of computer language just opened itself to me. WOW! [And if you now wonder how to remove the border off linked images: add border=0 to the image tag ^__^] My first real project was about the X-Files. And surprise
2001 all thingx just had celebrated it's first birthday when I got angelic-trust.net. I planned to let it contain anything more personal - all thingx had kept some info about me, but I thought it would not fit there. My first angelic layout was simply bad! I just needed some 'thing' - literally. And it turned out to be any thing. Well that was when my journal started. The entries were without comment function and about just my random blabla. Also a child of these days is the House of Mirth fansite houseofmirth.de. It's a movie Gillian Anderson plays the main character in, which I am still pretty fascinated by :) 2002 I started with designing Photoshop brushes and offer them for download. That was really a new fun part, I had not done before. It's probably the reason why angelic got so popular. It's also the year I really got stuck into fan listings and the whole thing seemed to be a good and funny thing. I really really did a whole bunch of web sites during that time. 2001 and 2002 are also the years of my excessive domain-purchas(e)ing. I bought most of my domains during that period because I really loved domains - I still do. But I had more time in my hands to care for all my web sites, which I have not any longer. 2003 All good days must end some time, huh? I started to study at the end of 2003 and all my time went with my growing knowledge. ^^ 2004 An the studying continues, I kept most of all my websites but I lost almost all my interet in fan listings. I owned more than 100 O__o How could I? I closed most of them and feel very happy with that decision. Now keeping the ones that really mean something to me still. 2005 Inter alia this site came to my mind. I have really went a long time of opening, redesigning and closing sites ever since. I have improved myself with regard to php and mysql, so I am not completely green to it anymore. When being online I must be very sure of what to do, because my time got so limited with my studies. The web thing is really still in my life much. I love doing sites, extending them, redoing them and learn new things about webdesign as much as possible. But it is not having that big part in my life any longer than than it used to have. simply because of my educational perspectives. I still spend most of my freetime with designing, but it's not always for my web projects. It's a time in my life in which I barely have freetime and it got so precious to me. 2006 That year was also mainly dedicated to my studies. Especially japanese ate up all my time but I reached some major goals, which I am proud of. Nevertheless with regard to websites I started to create the official website of our Japanese Seminar and am still maintaining it. However instead of creating new websites constantly I continued to do more art. Drawings but also digital art. Some of the pieces can be seen here. Additionally I made up a tiny whatever character called Nyam Nyam. 2007 In the middle of 2007 I started my own tiny online business called kyaaa.biz. The idea is very simple: I just sell cute handmade things. All my freetime was dedicated to that new project that became very precious to me right from the start. Everything you can buy there is created or designed by myself, you can purchase a part of me actually. ^^ It makes me very happy to ship all over the world and even though it's still a tiny business it makes very merry happy working for it. I hope I can continue doing art in that way, it really feels right to do all this besides my studies. To be continued, as long as my sites stay online. ^__^ |
