This site's history in a nutshell This website is a new form of Art. It was started at the turn of the Millennium on free servers in 2001. Later, the domain polishhippy.com was created for it in 2002. Read about that event in one of this site's earliest Blog entries. PolishHippy.com was built as a historical tribute and a labor of love. It is an autobiography of a 1960s Chicago hippy. The website was made for all browsers but Internet Explorer set to Medium Text Size at 1024 X 768 monitor screen resolution and Java enabled are recommended (these are usual IE default settings), Flash may be useful but is not required. Most work on the site was done in Europe usually between 9:00 PM and 3:00 AM Central European Time. The site has dark backgrounds specially designed to reduce eyestrain and ideal for chilled out low room light conditions. Why I've Built This Website One of the main reasons why I was motivated to
build this website was that many experts on the subject
of the hippies that I noticed in the media were too young
to participate in the movement or to even remember those
days. Also, the history some were creating for us seemed
to me somewhat warped. I also have to reject the concept
of a "real hippie" I've come across because
there were many alternative minded individuals in the
hippie movement from various walks of life. We were as
diverse as there are people in the world who shared the
same ideas as we did/do. So after many years of intensive
work, here's my website to tell about my individual
experience. It was one that took me overseas to the Old
Continent, saved me from the draft (Uncle Sam Wants You!),
from the Vietnam War, it also saved me from a severe
state of depression and vitamin deficiency brought about
most probably by an unhealthy lifestyle, dramatic stress
of life in the 1960s and drug abuse. It also opened my
awareness to another way of life that was different from
the one I knew back home in the States, one that I would
want to return to in the future. An Appeal To Other Hippies I guess many old hippies are not computer
literate enough to build their own websites or just are
not motivation enough for such an intellectual
undertaking required for the construction of such a
website. The few that are on the Web are hardly ever
consulted when documentaries are made or articles are
written on the subject. Therefore, Authors of media
sources on the subject often have an upper hand in
creating a history for us that is not always objective
and true. Hence my appeal to fellow hippies is to build
websites with their private photos, recordings, stories
and memorabilia. Web Site Designer and Developer for Hire If you are looking for a
Webmaster to design, construct, search engine optimize
and/or maintain your website then I would be happy to
hear from you. The websites I build use stable
technologies that should outstand the test of time and
changing fashions. They are also easy to service and will
work well on all servers. Feel free to contact me with any
questions.
To approach excellent user-friendliness, The Polish Hippy's website assurance architecture mandates hip-meeting-level attention to possible bi-directional postulated use of wavelength management technology. Of course, the incorporation of additional mission constraints effects a significant implementation of the management-by-contention principle. However, a constant flow of effective communication maximizes the efficiency of the fourth-generation independent functional product configuration baseline. For example, the fully integrated and user-friendly program if further compounded when taking into account the evolution of specifications over a given time period. In this regard, initiation of critical subsystem development requires extensive systems analysis and trade-off studies for maximization of structural design, based on system engineering concepts for possible future cybernetic use. So without going into any further technical details, to see the interrelation of system and/or subsystem technologies at their sophisticated physical layer structural design, based on system engineering concepts and possible bi-directional logical relationship approaches we should get out of this buzz talk for a while and party on to the next page. |
