I built and ran this website between 2000 and 2001, combining passion for popular music and programming. It was listed by MTV's now defunct MusicNewswire as one of the then nascent web's top twenty sources, alongside Billboard and VH1. The most exciting part of it — for a 13/14-year-old excited by new music — was receiving scores of pre-release CDs from record companies. The entire project was written entirely from scratch (frameworks and libraries were not the norm back then!) in PHP linking to a MySQL database, with HTML as well as a little CSS and JavaScript for the frontend; the code is available here.

[SIGNATURE]okay all, someone woke me up a few days ago with a very cool song blaring out of their car stereo - i'd heard it before (i think with a girl singing it) but i couldn't remember the name. so, can anyone help? i managed to jot down these lyrics (but i was half asleep & they could be totally wrong): & tell me did you find the milkway out there? & tell me did you find yourself out there while you were looking for me? but that last bit could also be & tell me did you find me out there while you were looking for yourself? help? anyone? =:)
