I have had a presence on the internet since 1999. I created my first web page on geocities.com. Which you may or may not know ceased to exist on 27 October 2009. I did not know about this until recently.
Hence I went on what can only be described as an archeological hunt for my lost page. i felt a bit like the famous internet archeologist Maxwell Fry who discovered the remains of Friendster as seen on Onion News Network.
With the help of gogle and some well placed key words I found the broken remains of my page, at first it was a sad experience, on the main page all the images were gone and most of the links corroded away. However the further I looked to my surprise I found parts of the page that were still working. I hereby present a link to the section that is in best condition.
My homepage from 1999-2002 RIP
On this ancient site there are several pictures and some stories etc, you will even be able to navigate to a semi interactive book that I wrote when I was 20 or so. A lot of the data on this page is in Norwegian.
The page would have been long lost if it had not been for Reocities, who did the actual work of restoring parts of GeoCities, so thank you.

Whilst we are on the subject of old homepages. After geocities I bought my own domain www.bveno.com and then later the domain I’m using to day www.bjornveno.com. Here are some screen shoots of the different stages my homepage went through:
