I've just realised that today is the tenth anniversary of my first internet dialup account. My first set of web pages went live about two days later. Unable to think of a better name for my website (they were called web sites in those days: two words), I decided to call it Gruts. The URL is slightly different these days, but I never got round to changing the name.
Unfortunately, I don't appear to have kept a copy of my very first web page, but I have just managed to locate its original logo on my old Windows 95 (sic) machine:
Man, that's bad. Hands up who remembers drop-shadows. They were all the rage back in '95.

Is it physically possible to die of embarrassment do you reckon?
happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you,
happy birthday, happy birthday...oh shut up!

I think you'll find I drew the image upside-down.
