Resurrected_V. 2.0_2002: SITE
HISTORY
Thank
you for your interest in reading this page. Gayly Venomously BryonyTrinity
(hereinafter call "GVB")
made a come-back with a more mature looks, feel, and contents! The
former site at Gay.com was launched around February or March 2001
but was since mid-May 2002 been obliterated & killed
 by
Gay.com who decided not to renew the Free Home Page Service with Homestead.com. It was
such a so-called inadvertent decision and
short notice that Gay.com had to
make due to the widespread deaths, tragic collapses-cum-failures or
financial viability or whatever you wish to call of the DotCom thingy
all over the WWW. Yet, they did that after I had built close to 50
Web pages that received a total
visits of 20,934 and page views of 60,038 (as of May 13, 2002,
according to my Sitemeter)! Life sucks, I know.
Then I came up with
the idea of resurrecting my baby by entrusting it to Tripod's free 20 MB of free Web
space & a total of 1 GB of Bandwidth. So one day when my site gets more hits,
you'd get the
Temporarily
Unavailable Page Notice from Tripod! Life is the sort
of thing that will from time to time throws good surprises & suspense on your laps. Sometimes it might choose to strike you with a couple of big fat
thunderbolts. One should practice a
grin-and-bear-with-it kind of strategy to cope with life.
Finally came the
solution! By quitting being a parsimonious person (yet still an
economical one) and paying for the first Web host service (SensibleHost.net
whose owner, DONNY FIELD, was a loser and a crook!), I was able to
incorporate GVB into my main site
SUPHAWUT.COM, complying with my
very belief that: "Home is the place for everything, and where everything is in
place." As I put a HTTP-EQUIV redirecting tag into all the <HEAD> of all
the GVB pages on Tripod, I bid free hosts farewell! Now I can put anything I
want on my site! Aah...the freedom of paid hosting.
It's also worth mentioning here that I was utterly grateful for
Archive.org's
Wayback Machine that made the salvation of almost all
of the
contents of my old site left stranded in the proverbial Cyberspace
possible. Gotta sincerely hand it to them folks at Archive.org,
Alexa Internet and
every single archivist concerned. They ensure that Web sites are saved for
posterity in their Internet Archive by having been actively and
busily crawling the Web since 1996, housing over 100 terabytes of data in
their library--eclipsing the amount of
text contained in the world's largest libraries, including the Library of
Congress!
All right. That's enough. This very lobe of my brain will serve as a
playground where I can be as naughty & frank as possible in my several own wayward ways.
Contents were re-organized into four major sections based on the site's name, i.e.
Gayly
(all things gay male),
Venomously
(all things venomous),
BryonyTrinity (all things me),
and
Miscellanies (all else). Wish you
have a swell time here at GVB.
