The website with 'under construction' gifs is a part of great essay on the early history of homepages by Olia Lialina.

Ain't It Weird to "Browse" a Desktop?!
v hlavě mi Brní

Isn`t it appropriate to call the program one uses as an access point to e-mail, private documents, calendar, social network systems, instant messaging, dictionary and other specialised services, not a browser but a terminal?
