Initial Launch, Take 2

In my Initial Launch post, I said that this site launched sometime in 1995 and that I had no idea when. I still don’t know the day it went up, but I found my original home page in an old project archive, and the last time I saved it was August 23, 1995.

A reconstruction, not a screenshot: my home page in the 1996 DevelopMentor look, in Netscape Navigator on Windows 95.

It wasn’t sellsbrothers.com yet — that domain came along in October 1996. I was an instructor at DevelopMentor and my page lived on the DevelopMentor web site, a place for the links I wanted to share with my students.
