notes from the outer world.

From the "odd ways to fill your spare time" department: Reviving Netscape(R) Composer(R) in contemporary internet. Which feels like unearthing, respawning something horrible. Too: HoTMeTaL, anyone...? Interesting read nevertheless:

As a geek born in the early 1990s, who has been playing with computers from a young age, I think fondly of what tech looked like in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

So, naturally, when I got my hands on an old computer a few months ago, I installed Windows 98 on it as a way to revive software from my childhood and play around with it. Among the gems I wanted to revisit was Netscape Communicator, a software suite from 1997 centered around Netscape Navigator, which was the first web browser I ever used. One of the other applications included in that suite was a WYSIWYG web page editor named Netscape Composer.
