+<P>Columning on /index.html happened on 2020-10-21 with site commit <A HREF="https://github.com/devenblake/homepage/commit/f36a3215a8bbd0ae9f6b83c9c2b58eabf826a2b7"><CODE>f36a3215a8bbd0ae9f6b83c9c2b58eabf826a2b7</CODE></A> and was removed on 2021-05-03 with site commit <A HREF="https://github.com/devenblake/homepage/commit/d98a2203895fc3817894b2d99ada84a777b22212"><CODE>d98a2203895fc3817894b2d99ada84a777b22212</CODE></A>.</P>
+<P>The issue was that on any modern mobile devices I used (Safari on iOS late 13.x to 14.2 and some privacy-friendly fork of Firefox for Android later) the columns would look weird due to scaling, and on most browsers I really care about supporting (Lynx, Mothra on plan9front, and NCSA Mosaic) the HTML table wouldn't even be rendered. When I tested it it only looked good on graphics-focused desktop web browsers and honestly I would rather have the site be displayed consistently on all devices than have it look pretty. So it bothered me for a while until I got rid of it.</P>
