Once upon a time in a land called Kushalville, there was this awesome
index page with a background and spiffy graphics and everything.
And there was this guy called Kushal who actually was competent most of
the time, but in any case, he had this bad day and accidentally erased
all vestiges of said awesome index page. Alas! Woe!
Fortunately, nobody actually visited Kushal's web page, as best
as he could tell. Once Kushalville had this great page called net.tech,
but Satan, in the form of Mt. Carmel High School, depleted
Kushalville's precious time resources. And then the next summer came
around and the vile dragon ThinkQuest
decided to rear its ugly (but profitable) head in the form of An
In-Depth Analysis of Macbeth. Meanwhile, competitors
encroached upon net.tech's once enviable position. The web page that
had earned five stars from Internet
Underground magazine, an A rating from Web
Review magazine's Cafe.Edu, and a favorable review by Jeff
Pulver, who is kind enough to provide me with this web space, was relegated
to the dustbin of web history as Kushal surrendered to the dark forces
of ThinkQuest for another
round of combat. With this latter site, covering the tragedy of Holocaust,
still competiting, Kushal kindly asked all visitors to Kushalville to stop
by. Somewhere along the way his bookmark file
which had once been really cool, was erased due to shoddy programming by
a certain browser beginning with the letter "N" and ending in "scape."
Still, all was not lost. For the pages about
Kushal himself, the 25 hour day, and links,
if slightly superannuated, were not as much worse for the wear as net.tech,
which was interesting solely because of its timeliness. (Kushal noted
an interesting parallel here, as his buddy Abducted was forced to give
up his Quake web page for similar reasons, yet maintained a
compelling and interesting site.) Also, Kushalville housed a
web page for his beloved despicable alma mater-to-be Mt.
Carmel.
Furthermore, Kushal became part of MagnaComp,
which, although devouring the last shred of time left in Kushalville, promised
to be profitable, fun, and worthwhile. If you are looking for someone
to design your web site, feel free to stop in there. Please don't
judge me by the antics of this page, though, since I'm not really trying too hard here, just mostly experimenting.
I mean, it would be like judging Michael Jordan on how he played basketball
when he wasn't being paid. Oh wait. Nevermind.
