May 1998

My bike was stolen on the day before Good Friday (9 April 1998). Normally I religiously bolted my bike to something whenever I left it. I  nevertheless talked myself into thinking it would be relatively safe, stuck under the stairs in the foyer of the office building I work at. This is a classic case of security being undermined by because a small inconvenience experienced daily seems like a big inconvenience after a while. Fellow cyclists, learn from my misfortune!

With some effort and only a few surprises I was able to get my web pages validated as conformant HTML 4.0. I wrote a short article about the process of getting validated in my somewhat defunct web project area.
