> I still mention maintaining this site on my CV and LinkedIn - disappointingly I've never been asked about it in an interview. I suspect most of the people doing the interviewing these days are too young to remember it.

This is astonishing to me. I check back to see if this site is still up once every year or two just to have a smile. If you were sitting across from me in an interview I am quite sure I'd lose all pretense of professionalism and ask you about nothing else for the hour.

The only reason I am sad about the death of flash is that it has all but killed my version of this: zombo.com.

https://html5zombo.com/ might assuage your grief a bit.
Thanks. This like that old trope of a child's pet fish dying and the parents buy a nearly identical fish to swap it in and pretend nothing happened.
wow, what a way to learn that zombo is dead. RIP zombocom
It isn't quite dead yet. It is just entirely Flash based so it likely won't make it to 2021. Safari has already blocked Flash completely while the other major browsers require you to manually enable it. Odds are those too will begin blocking Flash completely sometime in the next few months with Adobe set to end official support at the end of the year. So maybe add zombo.com to your Chrome whitelist and visit it one more time, because soon the infinite won't be possible.
