Mistigram: gotta make a move to a town that’s right for me… gotta keep it movin’, keep it groovin’ with some energy. This #BBCMicro high resolution graphics screen of #Cybertown (that must be the most meta neighbourhood of Geocities) was drawn by @blippypixel and included in last month’s science fiction-themed MIST0524 artpack collection.

And #VRML based chats. My first foray into it was #Blaxxun's #Cybertown back in late 1997. (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CyberTown)

I miss that place. It was simple yet innovative.

(It was also where I first saw “in-game advertising” many confused that a 2000-ish game first attempted.)

Maybe I should do an #introduction

I'm a professional web dev, but for hobby stuff I like to play with various technology, such as #virtualreality and #virtualworlds including #vrchat, #secondlife, #activeworlds, and #cybertown. I especially like combining them and seeing old worlds I'm nostalgic for in VR.

I also have some interest in #retrocomputing and reading about how computers before my time worked, but my development ability there is limited. I do like porting things to #html5.
