| CROESO / WELCOME! |

You are viewing a digital time capsule from 2001! I recently recovered a load of data from a harddrive I've had since I was in secondary school. Amongst the digital detritus was this pearl: a site I created in around the year 2000 using a book my father had bought me: HTML: The Complete Reference (2nd Ed.) by Thomas Powell. I eagerly applied every single function I came across, and the result is what you see here – Everything but this popup is original, from the HTML to the spelling mistakes. The website that provided the visitor counter is long since gone, so that's been replicated with Javascript, and I couldn't recover a few images, so I've left them broken. Really, that just adds to the authenticity! If you're interested in how things turned out ~25 years later, there's a link at the top of the page to the annotated version :) |
About meHello! Thanks for visiting my website. My name is Chris (Owain). I am from Ynysddu in South Wales, but due to my father's job, I currently live in Gloucestershire, just across the border. I'm a prefect in year 11 of Whitecross Comp, and when I've done my GCSEs, I'm going to go to collage to study languages. I can speak Welsh and French, and I'm learning Japanese too. After school, I work in a chip shop to earn some money (£3.20 per hour...), read books (I especially like sci-fi at the moment), and hang out with friends in the woods. |
Ynglŷn â fiHelo! Diolch am ymweld â fy website. Fy enw i yw Chris (Owain). Rydw i'n dod o Ynysddu yng Ngymru, ond achos y swydd fy nhad, dw i'n byw yn Sir Gaerloyw ar hyn o bryd. Prefect yn flwyddyn 11 yn yr Ysgol Whitecross ydw i, a pan fyddaf i wedi cwblháu fy GCSEs, dw i'n mynd i'r coleg i astudio ieithoedd. Dw i'n siarad Cymraeg a Ffrangeg, ac dw i'n dysgu Siapaneeg hefyd. Ar ôl ysgol, dw i'n gweithio mewn siop sglod i ennill arian (£3.20 yr awr...), darllen llyfrau (dw i'n hoffi sci-fi ar hyn o bryd), a chymdeithasu â ffrindiau yn y coed. |

Things I'm interested in:Languages I really like languages and they are my best subject in school. I am predicted to get an A* or A in English and French at GCSE which will be enough to get me into college. I want to go to college in Wales. ComputersI like computers and last year I finally saved enough money to buy myself a PC. Specs:
It cost me £899 from Dixons on Westgate Street in Gloucester. I want to get better at programming, but our school doesn't have a good ITC class. Writing I love writing short stories and I'm trying to write longer ones, but they turn out very boring! Rats I have two rats:

Pethau sydd o ddiddordeb i mi:Iaithoedd Dw i'n hoffi iawn ieithoedd a nhw yw fy hoff bwnc yn yr ysgol. Mae rhagfynegiad y byddaf yn cael A* neu A mewn Saesneg a Ffrangeg yn yr GCSEs, a bydd hynny'n ddigon i fy fynd i'r coleg. Dw i am fynd i goleg yng Nghymru. Computers Dw i'n hoffi computers a'r llynedd, cynilais i ddigon o arian i brynu PC i mi fy hun, o'r diwedd. Specs:
Costiodd £899 i mi o Dixons ar Westgate Street yn Nghaerloyw. Dw i eisiau gwella ar programming, ond does dim dosbarth TG da yn ein hysgol ni. Ysgrifennu Dw i'n caru ysgrifennu straeon byrion a dw i'n ceisio ysgrifennu rhai hirach, ond maen nhw'n diflas iawn! Llygoden fawr Mae dau llygoden fawr da fi:

Piano I started learning piano when I was about 8, so too late to be any good! I still have lessons once a week. |
Piano Dechreuais ddysgu'r piano pan oeddwn i tua 8 oed, felly'n rhy hwyr i fod yn dda! Dw i'n cael gwersi unwaith yr wythnos o hyd. |
(This video is massive, so it will take a while to load and probably isn't worth it!) |

ATC I am a senior cadet with the rank of corporal at 614 (Lydney) squadron. I'm hoping to take the staff cadet examination next year. I earned the ATC marksmanship badge last year on the L98-A1 rifle. I currently have 577 flying minutes logged and hope to get at least 100 more by the end of the year. |
