Retired Pages
Every so often I overhaul the design of richardwinskill.co.uk. This page lists, in no particular order, the sections that have been retired and a brief overview of what information is no longer available as a result.
A lot of this content was several years old, and was no longer relevant.
| Section | Page | Reason | Information Lost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Programming | Entire Section | The PHP and Python scrips were quite old (circa 2002-03) and didn't serve much purpose anymore. All of the good stuff lives at 6 times 9. | PHP: A script to identify a browser, scripts to change the page background colour based of a number of criteria, a script playing with HTML font colours, a dice simulator, and a mediocre "what OS are you" quiz. Python: A text-based adventure game "The Curse of Tharich Mansion", a "guess the number" game, and a script to list prime numbers. |
| Fun | Lottery Number Picker | I felt it had served its purpose; there are more efficient ways of generating random numbers... | A script to generate random numbers. |
| Playing Card Shuffler | I just couldn't be bothered; the old site wasn't as easy to manipulate as the new one, so moving things requires a fair amount of tweaking. The script was never really much use, anyway... | A script that lists all 52 playing cards in a random order. | |
| Games | Neopets Links/Shields | I lost interest in Neopets, so couldn't be bothered to move them... | A list of links (probably out of date anyway) for Neopets, and a script to automatically display the shields indicating the length of time since you joined. |
| Miscellaneous | Times of Day | It's out of date; there is no longer any content based on the time of day. | A page showing which times correspond to the morning, afternoon, evening, and night as previously used for some of the site's content |
| 135 Year Calendar | There was no longer any point; there are many far better calendars, and I have no need to compete. | A calendar from 1902 to 2037. | |
| What's My IP Address? | It wasn't worth it; it wasn't funny, and didn't tell you anything you couldn't find elsewhere. | A page that displays your IP Address | |
