Kevhines timeline

I always forget dates. People ask me how long I have been in my apartment or how long I have been dating my girlfriend or when I moved to New York and I always forget. This past summer I was talking to a college friend of mine and we couldn’t remember when all our different college friends had gotten married – which since I had been to everyone’s wedding was embarrassing.

So I decided the only normal way to solve this problem was to build an online timeline.

I found some code online that already did what I wanted: Simile Timeline

It wasn’t as easy to install as a poll so I took a few days to get it set up. And then a few more days to make the page look not terrible. And then a few more days to add some data.

So go here and see the first version of the Kevhines timeline. I also linked to it from the top of my blog’s page.

I haven’t added a lot of stuff yet. I mostly marked graduations, moving into new places, births and deaths of family, marriages of friends, births of friend’s kids, and the all-important formation of certain improv teams. I want to add a lot more. Also I might continue to tweak the look of the page.

In addition I might have made mistakes (either because I remembered wrong or because I make typos very often) so feel free to email me or post somewhere to let me know.

This might be boring to everyone not named Kevin Hines, but I think its kind of fun, so enjoy (maybe).
