The Wayback Machine Has Resurrected a Lot of My Long Dead Posts

God bless the Internet.

The Inter­net Archive, also known as the Way­back Machine, is a won­der­ful thing. You can see the way Google looked a long time ago or the web­site of the New York Times from Sep­tem­ber 11, 2001. It’s not the fastest thing in the world (and come on, if you archive the major­ity of the inter­net for free, do you really have to answer to any­body about the speed of your servers?) but it sure is awesome.

And its awe­some­ness now trav­els over to this site. My first blog that I wrote years ago Cen­tral Ser­vices — The Minstry of Infor­ma­tion Retrieval¹ is on the Way­back Machine. Not all of it, sadly, but a large por­tion of it. So if you start see­ing new posts appear in your RSS reader or you’re just pok­ing around the site avoid­ing the boss, check ‘em out.
