And from his days before getting into ColdFusion:

The community site for a mainframe DBMS (Model 204), called the Ultimate 204 Site, which he ran for several years starting in 1996 (though the content no longer lives where it did, it's available courtesy of the fantastic web archive)

BTW, the site name is carehart.org, not careheart.org. It's easy to mispel, so I've set up a to catch those who may search using the misspelling.
