It looks like a classic E/N (everything/nothing) site.



I've never heard that term before and Google has failed me. Can you explain?


They were like web directories and the stuff they link to, but for one person's interests. The closest comparison in modern terms is a personal blog, but these would often host music and videos and random niche stuff like game save files and code.

They often had a MIDI file auto-play if you had a sound card with MIDI support. Fancier sites had an MP3, but not every computer could handle it. Some had guestbooks or forums.

Everything/nothing was usually abbreviated to e/n, but that leads to even fewer results on Google.


Everything/nothing makes me think of excessive hyperbole
