What is this? The mp3 page is updated? What? Yes,
I actually did something useful today and updated that page. Check it
out.
Salon has a great article on the Internet
Wayback Machine which archives old websites to preserve a record of the web.
It points out the possible copyright violations, as well as how important of a
function it serves, as historians will find the early days of the web culture
very interesting. Check out the 1996 versions of some of the most popular websites
today. Notice the lack of graphics....as in 1996 56K was just barely out, if
was even out by then. Amazon.com just looks plain wierd too, who would have
guessed it would become so popular.
This is the
stuff of nightmares.
Oh, and I think I erased my C: drive :( Never try to move the folder that you
have mounted a Windows partition in, bad things happen. Luckily all my important
stuff is on the D: drive, so I'll just have to reinstall windows but I didn't
really lose any data. Just goes to show how important it is to backup your
data.
