tindomerel
February 2002-2005
I had started making websites on different free servers in 2001 but when all of those went to advertisements I struck out and got a site hosted. That was fine but I wanted my own domain. tindomerel.org was the first. It was a huge learning experience. Over time the site shifted from being a blog with massive amounts of (planned) user content to a collective where I hosted other people to a site I really didn't do much of anything to, and once again back to a personal site. When it came up for renewal in 2005 (it may have been 2004; I can't remember) I decided to let it go and move on.

2003-2004
At some point I decided that I wanted to have my personal site separate from tindomerel. Looking back I think I tried too hard to jump on the trend bandwagon, both with the domain name and the designs. After one year I wasn't attached to it enough to keep it.

hesitant
November 2003-2005
I made hesitant when I lost interest in tindomerel. It's been so long it's hard to remember. I loved the name (and still do). I think sometime in college I just got too busy and uninterested in the website 'scene.' I retreated to my livejournal and kept telling myself 'one day I'll get back to it.' I'm just now really making that move.

echodrift
2003-Present
At one point everyone opened up their own portfolio and web design sites. Echodrift was mine. For the most part I used it to show off several of my favorite layouts and a small bit of artwork. I let the name expire once and lost it for a while. When it once again became available I nabbed it back and it's been around ever since, usually in a state of 'some day I'll bring it back.' I'm now in the process of actually bringing it back.

This is the site you're looking at. I had planned to create it when I had hesitant, making the url once.hesitant. However, I never got around to getting it up until I brought echodrift back. Since I want this to be a continuing project I'm putting once in its own section. (Not including the coppermine gallery incarnation.)

miscellaneous
2002-Present
Over the course of time I had several websites that were separate from my domains, most of them blogs that for some reason I wanted to hide. Several years later it all seems so silly. Some of the designs I really enjoyed and so kept them. The rest are there for memory's sake. This series starts with the oldest and works its way forward.
