This is the table / transparent-gif / font-infested version of the old home page. Sadly, this is how "we" used to make websites. It was a horrible, unmaintainable mess.

If you don't see what the problem is, view the source. If you don't know what "viewing the source" means or how to do it, you wouldn't get it anyway, so there is nothing to see here.

This is the only page in this site that doesn't validate as HTML 5. It actually doesn't validate as anything...

Welcome MatthewCrumley.com

Who is this guy?

        I am a 23-year-old single guy living near Tampa, Florida. I enjoy any type of computer programming, including websites, which is why I am making this site. Incidentally, I also get paid to make websites.

        I have a twin brother named Michael who looks just like me and is a lot like me in most ways. He is more artistic than I am though.

What's New

August 24, 2006
Added a page showing how not to make a web page. I used "old-school" HTML with no CSS to reproduce this page as closely as possible. Because of the limitations of HTML without stylesheets, it doesn't match 100%.

It uses tables and transparent gif's for layout, and lots of font tags. As a result of the complex markup, the file is about twice the size of the homepage and would be very difficult to maintain. For example, when I changed the menu layout about a month ago, I didn't have to make any changes to the actual pages; I just changed a few CSS rules. To change the menus with the old-style HTML page, I would have had to change the whole structure of the document.

August 1, 2006
Added source code for "hist", a command-line program to print histograms for files.
July 29, 2006
Added a confirmation dialog for the new game button in Yahtzee (thanks Cyndi!)
July 26, 2006
Fixed a (small) bug in the Yahtzee game. Yes, I know I need to put something else interesting on here. If you have any ideas, let me know.
July 23, 2006
Changed the color of the heading and changed the site navigation (exciting isn't it).
July 22, 2006
Updated the Yahtzee page to match the rest of the site. I also added a feature to warn you when you are about to take a zero, which should hopefully reduce errors from clicking the wrong button.
July 15, 2006
Added a statistics page for Yahtzee scores.
July 12, 2006
Added an 8-queens solver that only uses one variable.
