PROJECT NAME: The Kraiders Otaku Fridge
URL: http://www.otakufridge.com
SINCE: May 18, 1997
This was the very first website I have ever created way way back in 1997.
I only knew I wanted to create a web page but since my interests were
diverse, I decided to make this one a collective site on anime, video
games, literature, music, and FOOD. It also featured me and my cousins
(we are now known as "the senshi"). Years have passed and its
different sections have spun off. The video game section became officially
Disc13 and the
anime section became officially Anime
Okashi, which used to be run by my cousin Firesenshi. The music
site is now Coolay.
I have no idea which version I'm now currently using (v. 2001 is probably
the 6th), since I never kept track of my designs back then—not that
they were worth keeping track in the first place. I mean, c'mon! Back
in 1997, there were no style sheets, no complicated table structuring,
no splitty image techniques. The default HTML codes were mostly composed
of <center>, <p>, <br>, <hr>, <h1> and updating
links were a pain. And we thought putting MIDIs on our pages were "wicked
kewl".
Why "Kraiders"? The original name of the site went from Kitchen
Raiders' Refrigerator (because we loved raiding Icesenshi's fridge), to
Kraiders Otaku Vault, to Kraiders Otaku Fridge. Oh and yeah...and the GeoCities site is still alive.
In December 2004, Anime Okashi and Disc13 have been merged and are now back under the umbrella of Otaku Fridge once again. Version 2004 image isn't here because it was Firesenshi who designed it and it can be found in her portfolio. It's basically Okashi's original layout. I still manage the site, however.
