I started this website during the fall of my 8th grade year (Fall 2000). As you can imagine, having a site this old means that a lot of old junk can pile up. This is especially the case for this website, whose face is constantly evolving. New sections constantly spring up while old sections sometimes die or end up neglected. That’s where this archive comes in! On this page, you can find links to the old sections this website that might be interesting for historical purposes.

‘Ohana

Back in 7th and 8th grade, the group I cruised with had this weird family thing going on. It has changed a lot over the years but I’m too lazy and ignorant to update this part of the site again. This is generally what our family looked like back during freshmen year.

Hoss Elections

During 7th and 8th grade, back when we were innocent, organized, and nice, our group had this annual hoss election thing. There was no drama or fights involved. Why we can’t do that anymore is beyond me…but oh well. It died after we graduated from intermediate school. I made a quiet attempt to organize them again at the end of senior year, but it was hopeless.

Memories/Quotes

Random memories and quotes from freshmen and sophomore year.

Useless Facts

A collection of useless trivia I collected on my xanga.

‘Aiea Highlife

‘Aiea Highlife was developed as an extension for Mozilla Firefox. The extension rebrands the browser in ‘Aiea High School’s “A” branding to instill ‘Aiea pride on the computer screen of every AHS alum, teacher, family, and friend. Unfortunately, I have not updated the extension since the days of Firefox 3.x, and I doubt it works for current versions. I may decide to update this extension one day, but probably not.

Kristine Krystal

Kristine Krystal was a Kristine Higa/Krystal Kiyuna rebranded version of the Netscape suite (and later, the Mozilla suite, aka “SeaMonkey”). It was more just a way for me to play with XUL than anything else. I may decide to update this one day to a more modern version of SeaMonkey, but probably not.

Guestbook

OK, so as far as Internet time goes, our generation is pretty old. Back when this website was first created almost 15 years ago, interactive personal websites really didn’t exist, at least not in the form that they exist now! The word “blog” had been invented but almost none of the blogs that existed at that time were interactive. You couldn’t “comment” on other people’s pages–instead there would be these cheesy gifs of a mailbox with the caption, “E-mail me!” And, you would have to e-mail your comments to the webmaster. In any case, personal websites resorted to third party services to set up “guestbooks” for their websites so webmasters could find out who was visiting their websites. I set up a guestbook for my website through a service called “Dreambook,” because that was the default service that DreamHost, my first webhost, referred us to. Well, Dreambook ended its support of its service as of March 31, 2014 (though the site itself still seems to be online as I write this…weird), so I took my guestbook down. Even though I no longer have a guestbook to sign, please do view all the wonderful old entries I accumulated! Entries from before August 1, 2003, can be found on this webpage (though for some reason, I seem to have lost the dates of the entries), and
entries from after August 1, 2003 can be found on this webpage.
