The old internet is still there! July 18, 2004
Posted by Andy Roberts in : internet , trackbackI’ve just had an experience which can only be likened to discovering an old box of family photographs up in the loft which for years had been believed lost.
I was reading through the blogs after manually transferring feeds from NetNewsWire Lite’s OPL file (at work) into Opera 7.5 ( home) when I came across yet another furl advocate who mentioned in passing the web archive. This is something which I’ve imagined, but never knew actually existed and it blew me away. I found old archived copies of my own websites from the last century, some early stuff of Frankie Roberto’s and best of all - a page of collaborative links which I’d build up on a free online bookmarking system but then became defunct.
So I’ve been taking an enjoyable trip down memory lane and carefully Furling everything as I go. I still can’t really believe it, because this changes the way I have to think about the web from now on - it is less ephemeral than I thought.
