The graphics and overall design were obviously aging. The more I looked at it, the more I remember my carefree days in Manila in the 80s and 90s.<\/p>\n

The original Kupitero’s Keep<\/strong> website, I created in 1998 but launched in 1999 when I finally got a decent web hosting site – Surfshop.net<\/strong>. Prior to them, I had tried a lot of freebie site-hosting like GeoCities<\/strong>, Angelfire<\/strong>, etc., as well as, other local ISPs like Epic.net<\/strong> and Tri-Isys<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The tools of the trade were basically the same ones I used back then: an HTML editor, Photoshop, an image animator, an image mapper, and a file transfer program (FTP).<\/p>\n

I ported the site to Netscape’s free hosting – simply called, WebSites<\/strong>– after we terminated our contract with Surfshop.net in 2001. The nice thing was: it was only in 2003 that they put down the site. Unfortunately, Netscape’s freebie hosting didn’t last long as well — they stopped most of their free services after they merged with AOL (America Online)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

I decided to put up my own web server only after I got broadband access — with download speeds of about 7 Mbps<\/strong>. I learned from the past that hosting your own site via dial-up<\/em> is like torturing your viewers.<\/p>\n

Plus, it didn’t make a lot of sense if you only have a single phone line in the house – all your relatives will give you the ‘look’ for hogging the phone line just to make your webserver\/website available.<\/p>\n

Also, imagine using dial-up to dial-up link while streaming a large video file. Dial-up was king during the glory days of electronic bulletin board service (EBBS)<\/strong>. Those were the pre-browser Internet days. In short, forget web serving and hosting if all you’ve got is dial-up.<\/p>\n

The makeover I had in mind will make the overall site smaller in size but will retain most of the features of the original site. Faster page loading – for those accessing the site via dial-up – will be my priority and I had decided that bulky graphic files will have to go.<\/p>\n

So, the components are set: the server, the gateway, and the site.\u00a0 Looks like it’s 1984 again for me.\u00a0 Just trying to keep in step with the times.<\/span><\/p>\n
