What In The Hell Is WATMM?

Back in early 1999, I got a job doing graphic design and (eventually) web design/programming for a world-wide law firm. Hired on the preface that I could teach myself how to code HTML and design web pages, my early days at the Firm were spent teaching myself HTML - Macromedia's Dreamweaver (then in version 1.5), and reading a few books I had gotten from the local bookstore.

I knew I needed a practical project to start with to have something to test and try things out on - at this time too I was getting into electronic music, more specifically Aphex Twin - so I looked at what Aphex Twin sites were around at that time (Khad's Aphex Start was the best of the bunch; but it lacked information and features I thought would be an invaluable resource for other Aphex Twin fans. Phobiazero's Zap.To Aphex site was also around, but it too, was lacking...something. I decided to create an Aphex Twin Resource that would have everything the other sites lacked, and more of a visual flair than what those websites in 1999 had.

So, I set about planning what I wanted to put on the site, and at the same time, learning how to make it happen in HTML. On June 6th, 1999, http://users.ev1.net/~joyrex was launched (I used the free webspace my local ISP provided), and that was my proving ground for my HTML education and also to make the best Aphex Twin resource on the web.
