My First Animations
I learnt to use computers at a very matured age. And the more I learnt, my fascinations about the different things a computer can do increased. I wanted to learn newer things. Pretty soon I learnt how to make Web sites using only Windows Notepad. I soon built a Web site for children using a lot of animated gif’s borrowed from other sites (after obtaining due permission, of course). And then my ambition grew to even higher heights. I wanted to make my very own animated gif’s. I studied, and studied, and studied some more. Eventually, I understood the secrets of making animated gif’s. It was a BIG DAY for me when I produced my first and second animated gif’s. I cannot express in words how happy I felt on that day. It was a project I thought I would never be able to complete. After many failures, eventually I SUCEEDED. The first few animated gif’s I created were crude, but nevertheless, by definition, they were animated gif’s. All I had to do later was to polish my skills to make more eye-catching animated gif’s. That also I did, and I shall post a few of those here another time.
Below are my first two animated gif’s. I am so proud that I created them all by myself. Nobody taught me anything. Nobody helped me!

Hello, thanks for stopping by and commenting today.
I just wanted to let you know that I am unable to view the animations through the link you left. It takes me to an AOL page that says it cannot find the page I want.
Good job, by the way! I am so impressed with the things people have managed to do online. I am just happy to hit the right buttons most of the time!
Bravo for your perseverence . You become a master in graphism and animations . I am totaly unable . However I make my first true site in 2000 but after that I knew Xanga who is so easy . But this not really a web site . So , I forgot how I did this first site . Compliments for you .
I watched your grandchildren and also I read about your tendintis . I hope you are well now .
You ask me if I was a teacher . Yes it was my job . I taught Biology and geology in secondary school the I became înspector in those matter . I am retired since 1994 and music is my hobby ( with the blogging and gardening ) .
