website about the topic) so that might speak more to my not knowing many people, but what is important is that I shared
interest with Hilary that I was not able to share with others who were not on the internet. And in those days, a lot of people
were not on the internet!

I wanted to have a website because of Hilary’s websites, The Spam Headwound, primarily, with such a ludicrous title that
very much appealed to the me of the period, across its various urls, nlenx.com/spam, twne.com/spam, spam.towne.net, and
gigglebounce.com. There was also lincolnway.com, which she registered specifically to annoy the Lincoln Way high school
she had attended, after having been punished for other students loading her relatively outrageous personal website on
school computers. As best I can figure out. I still use html code that I copied and eventually memorized off of her pages
more than half my life ago. Most of the old, admittedly nonsensical pages are still acknowledged at the gigglebounce vault
but some do not work quite properly, and many are simply not there at all! The archive.org version unfortunately got
confused by the netscape-style frames and only has a single page saved multiple times, with none of the frame data. But I
will always remember.

Also: from june 25 1999, this watery screenshot of the site not displaying correctly in America Online, from a thankfully
brief period during which I thought it was a good idea to save my screenshots as jpegs.
In fact, my oldest “normal” website entries here are ripped directly from the source of gigglebounce.com during a period
when Hilary granted myself and a few others the ability to place updates on the website, and it appears that the earliest
dated one has a picture of Hilary in it, which I had quite forgotten about. Likewise I cannot remember how long that
version of gigglebounce lasted, but I, plainly, kept going, without much considering why I did. Records indicate I may even
have been the last person doing so. This does not get me money or recognition, but I like making these things, and Hilary
got me started. But I am here to talk about the GOOD things she did.
