~qrush let me know that the Million Dollar Givepage now has a proper home at http://milliondollargivepage.com/. He described it as "tilde.club's first graduation/incubation :P"
nice. Even better, it frees up his tilde site for new stuff
David's Handcrafted Homepage
Hi! Welcome to my tilde club page. My name is David Janke, and I'm a software developer. I got my start coding basic sites back in the 90s... many looked scarily similar to this one :) Over the years, my engineering & design skills have gotten better (well, engineering at least), but I still miss the good old days of hand-crafting sites.
My goal here is to build everything by hand... no frameworks, no libraries.
Web Log
The Million Dollar Givepage
Instead of working on things I really need to be working on, I just spent the last... uh, let's call it 30 minutes... making a 10x10 px tilde image 
. Now, to make myself feel better about spending so much time on it, I'm posting it so maybe other people can get some use out of it. The image is PNG, but I also posted Gimp's XCF format, so it's easy to change the background and make other edits.
Why would you need a 10x10 image of a tilde?
~qrush is using his site to host The Million Dollar Givepage. If you donate at least $100 to a charity, send him the details, and you too can own some space on the page.
You remember the Million Dollar Homepage, right? Back in the mid 00's, some university student posted a 1000 x 1000 px grid and sold space @ $1/px (in 100px blocks). It went viral, and he ended up selling every pixel.
I was working for a web hosting company at the time, and we saw a lot of copycat sites. Heck, a friend and I even put our own spin on it with messageToBush.com (no link because it's long gone), which had a picture of then-president George W Bush behind the pixels.
None of the copycat sites ever made much money (we knew this going in). I don't think we ever really got the site up and working, anyway.
The best thing I saw come out of this was some kid who wrote a fairly simple PHP platform that let people set up their own million dollar web page. He sold it for something like $10-15. Probably didn't get rich, but hopefully he got some nice pocket money out of it.
Just goes to show... in a gold rush, you don't want to be a miner. You want to be the guy selling shovels.
Server Data
Created a script to compile current server data. Let me know if there's other info you'd like included (in-system email or twitter are probably best), otherwise I'll just add to & refine the script as I think of stuff.
Site is up!
So... I just wasted the morning hand-coding a crappy, 90s-style site. Well, maybe not "wasted" :)
There's still a bunch left to do, hence the "under construction" images (otherwise, how would you know?). Styling is probably up next.
