What this section contains

This archived personal documentation page is part of the JIAN reference collection, preserved from the early 2000s era of individual web publishing.

Historical context

Personal page collections like JIAN represent:

  • Pre-blog technical writing: Documentation before WordPress and Medium
  • Individual knowledge bases: Personal reference libraries before cloud sync
  • Peer-to-peer learning: Direct knowledge sharing without platform intermediaries
  • Web 1.0 architecture: Static HTML served from user directories

The multiple-index pattern

Having separate index files (indexf.htm, indexo.htm, indexs.htm) was common in:

  • Frame-based websites: Different frames loading different index files
  • Topic-based organization: Each index covering different subject matter
  • Alphabetical indexing: Sections organized by letter (F, O, S potentially)
  • Workflow limitations: Static site organization before CMSs

Preservation considerations

Archived personal pages require:

  • URL stability: Never breaking existing links
  • Format preservation: Maintaining .htm extension and path structure
  • Attribution clarity: Not claiming original authorship
  • Content warnings: Noting historical/potentially outdated information
