Reminiscence of the Granite State is the web page to introduce lifestyles of the Granite
State and also its adjacent states. The Granite State is a nickname for the state of New
Hampshire, USA. I lived in the Granite State for about 6 years combining two periods, one
from August 1993 to December 1994 and the other from August 1997 to March 2002. I had a
lot of fine experiences at this magnificent region, spending most of my youth period and
those experiences are something that makes me feel at my home. In fact, I have never
stopped communicating with some of the residents around there, since I knew them. To write
down all the good stories about the region to others, the web page was established. I
think I will be back there soon if possible.
History of this Web siteThe root of this web site dates back to my
previous web pages, launched in late 1998 and then early 1999 (March), when I was a
college student at New Hampshire College. I was one
of the guys who volunteered to found a homepage for the college's CIS club, Computer Club,
as well as to work on web site developments personally with free accounts such as
geocities, tripod, etc. The Computer Club was the NHC's only club which valued, promoted
and encouraged the information, knowledge and expertise of computer technologies among
students. One valuable experience was a visit to
a regional FAA
Center(Federal Aviation Administration Center).
The name "Reminiscence of the
Granite State" was then applied in 2002 to one of my such personal accounts.
Technologies of my web site
When I was dealing with web pages back in the late 1990s, I was basically writing plain
HTML pages either by using a text editor or commercial HTML editor like around the year
1998. I remember when I was associated with the CIS web stuff, I purchased web page
editting software called Microsoft FrontPage 98. I think, it remained as a first-rate
handy tool for the next several years, until other competitive technologies came out. It
might have become an obsolete tool once but is still a very competitive tool for
experienced users since most homepage editing tools available today seem to be
notive-based, having made it easier for entry-level users to make homepages similar to
each other's. This page is still created and managed with Microsoft Frontpage 98.
Where is the Granite State?
As it was mentioned above, the Granite State stands for New Hampshire, United States.
It is a northeastern state located along the border to Canada and is one of six state in
New England region. The state is known to be conservative. In Addition, the state symbol
is the old man in the mountain, the famous rock of an old man's face figure situated in
north.
