Author's Notes

I was thinking I needed to put up some kind of visual for what that floating sidebar code in my CSS repository was even for, considering I don't use it anymore. When I looked through my old screenshots I thought I might as well make a little gallery of what Solaris has looked like over the years. I have to say, putting this article together made me all nostalgic. Were you around for the purple days? Did you remember the old floating sidebar?

Thank you! Yeah, gosh, like when all I had was a few articles about Penumbra and a couple sentences about each planet. Now it's almost three years old, time really flies.

It means so much that some of y'all have been here from the get go! I think you may have even seen some of the art from before I even made the world!
