A Timeline |
|
May 1996
|
|
The
Domain, my first "personal" homepage premieres on AOL's member servers
using a program called "WebEdit" (I forget who developed it). Webedit
was essentially a Text editor with cookie cutter HTML macros. I taught
myself HTML with it. |
|
June 1996
|
|
The Domain
stops being my personal site, and turns into a Science Fiction E-zine,
featuring original fiction and articles on Sci-fi news. Back in those
days, any schmuck could build that sort of thing. Hehe...
On June 25th, I decide
to try building a personal page again. An archived version still
exists here. This is the site that will eventually be renamed TRHOnline, and is the official launch of the site you're looking at right now. |
|
April 1997
|
|
The
final issue of The Domain goes online. It's partially archived here.
My Homepage continues, and random other sites are built - at one point
rising to a total number of nine at once - including a Ranma 1/2 page,
a Klingon website, and a site dedicated to the BBS game "Legend Of the
Red Dragon". |
|
February 1998
|
|
"Homeworld
Enterprises" goes online at H-world.com*. Designed in tandem with
Brian Miles, It contains TSSoftware's site (a QBasic software group
run by myself, Brian Miles, and Jesse Haag) and HWS (An online radio station). |
|
April 1998
|
|
"Traegorn's
Pagan Page" goes online on Tripod. It's kept seperate from my personal
page, because I expect it will have a different audience. This is
also the first time I use my Wiccan name on a site instead of my given
name. |
|
May 1998
|
|
The "Enterprises"
is lopped off the Homeworld title, and it is expanded to include areas
covering Anime and Conspiracies. Also, a Newsfeed and various other
features are added. May 5th, '98 is considered the "Relaunch" date,
and the site gets a complete redesign signaling version 2. The new Homeworld
is intended to build an online community and content based portal. |
|
January 1999
|
|
My
personal site and my pagan page merge into one site, and I move my hosting
to H-world.com's* server. The new title is Traegorn RavenHawk Online.
It is labeled "v3.0", considering the personal page v1.0, and the pagan
page v2.0. A cover page is put up at RavenHawk.8m.com
as well. The site also moves into 'Frames'. Somewhere around
here, version 3.0 of Homeworld premieres as well. |
|
October 1999
|
|
DarkConspiracy.com
goes online, an offshoot of Homeworld's Conspiracy Area. Solely designed
by myself, it ends up becoming fairly popular. DarkConspiracy.com
ends up becoming the content based portal and community site Homeworld
tried to be. This also signals the first sign of Homeworld's downfall. |
|
November 1999
|
|
Version
4.0 of TRHOnline premieres, abandoning the darker color scheme in choice
of a lighter one. The entire backend is redesigned, and it moves
to the UWEC Student ACM server Blackhole (blackhole.cs.uwec.edu). |
|
December 1999
|
|
The
promised fourth incarnation of Homeworld fails to meet the X-mas 1999 deadline.
The site seems all but abandoned after this. Brian attempts to turn
it into an all anime site, but it fails. |
|
February 2000
|
|
TRHOnline
moves to Drak.net hosting, becoming
TRHOnline.com. Also, the first portion of TRHCommunity launches,
with the TRHCommunity Message board. A chat room is also launched,
but soon forgotten and deleted. The message board is hosted on Server.com. |
|
February 2001
|
|
TRHOnline.com
v5.0 launches, abandoning frames, and a backend redesign is performed -
roughly creating what you see before you. |
|
September 2001
|
|
The TRHCommunity
Message board moves off of Server.com, and onto TRHOnline.com itself.
This is also the first sign of TRHOnline.com's new focus on the community
aspect of the site. |
|
February 2002
|
|
TRHMessenger
Launches, adding another community interaction tool. TRHMessenger
is an instant messaging utility primarily, but also doubles as a simple
way to send offline messages to other users. |
|
June 2002
|
|
A new
TRHCommunity app is launched, merely referred to as the 'TRHCommunity App',
it takes the TRHMessenger logins and allows you to also maintain a To Do
List, keep an online Notepad, and customize your page with 'modules', or
portions of code that include showing the most recent posts on the message
board, and the current moonphase. |
|
February 2004
|
|
Due to a server move, TRHOnline.com's scripts get scrambled. Rather than rebuild the TalkShop message board, a PHPBB is installed. Because of the private messaging system built into PHPBB, TRHMessenger is deemed obsolete. Notepad, ToDo, and the rest of the still unnamed TRHCommunity App are put aside, possible to be ressurected later -- but not for a while. |
|
May/June 2005
|
|
TRHOnline.com launched the beta service TRHBlogs. Located at Blogs.TRHOnline.com, It allows TRHOnline.com users to create and maintain blogs with their TRHOnline.com message board login. It's code is based on an extension of the blog software developed for the mainpage -- a version of Peter Windridge's NewsLead so modified it doesn't even resemble the original codebase. |
|
February 2006
|
|
The backend of TRHOnline gets a major revamp, becoming completely dynamic using a new piece set of scripts unofficially dubbed TRHSiteEngine. It is used on several design contracts to power other websites as well. |
