I got a GeoCities web page in the 90's. This was my first web page. My account was moonhalo
, and I went by Shoomi
as the online persona.
I had archived a few of my web sites and made a CD Resume in 1999. Some of the content had been changed to support an offline version for viewing without an internet connection.
Lots of cutting edge stuff here from the 90's.

This little program was made using Visual Basic. It changed your text from one color to another as a gradient.
Windows Executable: clr_fnt.zip
Just about every image was made by me except the Link Exchange banner. I'm uncertain about the "I Believe in Peace" image on the front page.
One thing of note here is the citiscape. I found a New York webcam online that showed a new picture every minute or so. I captured pictures for a few hours as the sun gradually went down. I used GIF Animator to create many of the animated GIF images, and used it to create an animation of the city at night. I used Adobe Photoshop to make the images a monotone color to reduce the color palette and make it fit in with the dream theme.
