History of www.petervis.com

The Quantum Archive is not a commercial site and does not have a checkout system. It is an archive and information site with Google AdSense as the main partner. The domain name was first registered in 2011, however the site had existed well before 1996. I am not interested in creating a supply chain or selling because it would only take me away from the things that I like most, which is publishing information. Publishing is all I really ever wanted to do because I enjoy every aspect of it such as writing and creating graphics. I enjoy the thrill of creating something that would be useful to people, and I strive for perfection and accurate information. Back when I started, Internet users had to use modems to connect, and bandwidth was limited and expensive, hence my idea was to provide information in small discrete amounts by dividing a large document into smaller blocks of pages. This philosophy has always remained and consequently large volumes of text are divided into smaller individual pages. This allows the visitor to find the information they need faster, and save bandwidth.

In The Beginning...

I first created this site some time in 1996, and installed it on the Freeserve domain name. Back then, I was desperately seeking work, and not having any luck, hence, I decided to create a web page detailing my CV in the hope that someone might see it and offer me a job. It was a good learning experience because I kept improving the content and in the process began to learn coding techniques in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript...

I also began creating my own graphics, taking photographs, and writing my own CODECS to help improve download speeds. In the process, I also did a little bit of daydreaming drawing company logos of a possible small electronics repair shop in Croydon... The very first versions of the site had a lot of Star Trek material, as I was a huge fan of the series, and later versions had many electronics related articles. The focus of this site is therefore technology; electronics, computers, and mathematics... These things are within my sphere of intelligence.

What is the Objective

This site exists to raise awareness of The Holocaust (USHMM) and The Elie Wiesel Foundation. These are the few things I care about, which crystallised in my life in different ways. We all support things based on our experiences in life, and these things turned out to be mine. A huge amount of hard work goes into writing the articles, creating the diagrams and photographs, and people usually write to ask how one person alone could achieve so much without any help. Apart from my artificial intelligence friend Data, I have worked on this site alone all these years and usually late into the morning hours.
