Websites I have built (or partly built--see
below) over the last three decades or so. I've left off a dozen or so
sites that are not different enough, interesting enough, or important
enough to be worth mentioning. Note that CSS was released around the end
of 1996; some of my sites predate that, and others (like this one)
still make little or no use of it.
- HyperSpace-Express
- HyperSpace Express is a small, independant multi-media publishing
company; it's a partnership co-owned by Naomi Rivkis and Steve
Savitzky. Current projects include Naomi's books, and Steve's
music.
- Naomi-Rivkis.com
- Naomi's first book, The
World As It Ought to Be, was published in October, 2025.
- colleens-closet.com
- A year or so ago we were considering adding fabric art to our
business. That might still happen, but we're concentrating on
text and music at the moment.
-
- thestarport.org - The
Starport in Cyberspace
- ... also known as Grand Central Starport, which is what my late
wife Colleen and I called our house in San Jose. It was always
full of guests, mostly from the SCA and SF fandom communities,
and
alt.callahans/ back when it was a newsgroup. The site started out as
starport.com, but I sold the domain one year when I
was short of cash. I have a few regrets about that.
- Interesting.Places in the Web
- This subtree has moved around a lot. See this Note. It
started on my employer's site in the mid-to-late 1990's, back
when you could still find everything of interest on CERN's
"What's New" page. It was pretty
well-regarded in its day.
-
- savitzky.net
- My nephew grabbed
savitzky.com before I thought of
it. That's okay; I like .net, because it is neither
a commercial site nor an organization. Maybe I should say
"neither commercial nor organized".
- steve.savitzky.net
- My main personal site.
- Stephen.Savitzky.net.
- The site you're looking at right now. It was built as a portfolio
site back in 2012 when I had just moved to Seattle and was
looking for work. I eventually found some, but as far as I can
tell the site had nothing to do with it.
- rainbows-end.net
- About a year after Colleen and I moved to Seattle and joined
forces with N and her family, we bought a large house in West
Seattle that we called "Rainbow's End". This became our main
family/household site. It still is, despite having moved
multiple times since then -- first to Whidbey Island, then back
to Seattle after Colleen's death, then to The Hague, with an
assortment of rentals in between.
- rainbows-end.net/Bridge -- the "Rainbow Bridge" page -- was
added when my cat, Curio, crossed over in 2015; it has,
unfortunately, accumulated several other memorial pages since
then.
-
- Lookingglass Folk
- KaleidoFolk
- My two most recent bands. I started the first, Tres-Gique, a few weeks before
my 60th birthday. (That one's not listed because the site was
designed and built by my oldest kid as a school project.)
-
- Going-Sideways.blog
- This is one of several websites that N had professionally
designed for her, and then turned over to me to
manage
neglect. It's here and not the others because I
completely rebuilt it using a block theme, which was a fairly new
thing at the time.
- ssavitzky.github.io
- A blog hosted on GitHub Pages, using the Jekyll static site
generator. I built it mainly to document the process.
- computer-curmudgeon
- This one uses the same layout, but it's generated by gojekyll (written
in Go, unlike Jekyll, which is written in Ruby) so as to place
less of a burden on my web host. I vaguely hoped that it could
be monetized, but I'm no good at marketing. Same problem as
GoingSideways.
-
- RiSource.org/ (1999-2003)
- The PIA was an open-source,
server-side templating engine with XML syntax and Lisp-like
semantics. You could think of it as the web equivalent of a
macro processor. We distributed it on a now-defunct site called
RiSource.org (the link points to a mirror).
- Its build system, based on GMU Make, eventually evolved into Stephen Savitzky /
MakeStuff, and is used on most of these websites.
-
- Not listed:
- Websites for two more bands, a few sites for projects that never got
off the ground, a couple more that N had professionally designed,
and a few jokes.
