I just wrote the code. Castagraf put out six issues back in roughly 2000-2002. At some point between then and 2009 I forgot to renew the domain name and some domain squatter swiped it. I managed to get .net back and continued to host the old issues for a while longer. - -Unfortunately Castagraf was published using Flash, which no longer works. - -Castagraf took shape back in days when CSS 2 was just getting off the ground. Web browsers sucked at CSS. I was a perfectionist about layout and typography so I used Flash for pixel-perfect results. In the process of watching Flash fail, I became, and continue to be, a strong advocate for open standards on the web. I have lost data to proprietary formats. You will too. Trust me. - -Castagraf, like Flash itself, is basically lost to time at this point, still it deserves some placeholder for its existence. Life moves on, this page is all that remains. - -Laura Solomon is now co-executive director of Wisconsin's [Woodland Pattern](https://www.woodlandpattern.org/). I currently (2020) write for Wired Magazine and my own website, the one you're on right now. |
