On Going Through Six Years Worth of Link Rot

7th January, 2003

So, just having gone through six years' worth of bad html and fixed it, I have naturally found that many of the links don't work any more, sometimes irrevocably so. Like, no shit. Anyway, I made notes as I went along, just for the record:


Issue #10
=========

Link for Common sense fails.

http://linette.guam.net/john/wod/archive/worshipirony.html

No idea what it was.

Keeping Rare Madness cos it's rageboy.

Issue #9
========

Hmm...

Issue #8
========

So You Want To Know About Ducks by Paul Callahan has disappeared,
which is a shame, because it was funny. Hope Paul Callahan is ok.

So You Want To Know About
Ducks by Paul
Callahan

is where it isn't.

I've had to put up a page complaining about this one.

man4 by mez moved to same place as piece from issue #7. Now fixed. Hurrah.

Issue #7
========

Cutting spaces by mez has moved. Now links to new location. Hurrah.

Fixed problem where links page in issue 6 was actually links page from
issue 7.

Issue #6
========

Property/Theft/Liberty/Impossible removed - mostly broken.

They were

Property: Theft, Liberty, Impossible

- Resolution by James McCabe sadly removed as it no longer exists. Issue #5 ======== - Links: Hypertext is Dead! Long Live Hypertext! removed as neither is working. http://www.stg.brown.edu/projects/hypertext/landow/SSPCluster/InMem.html and http://www.iaehv.nl/users/eilko/schuiten/index.html they were, respectively. Issue #4 ======== - Link: Creative, Media, Marketing removed. First was to Elly of the cyborganic.com thing that is now maz.org, second was Urban75, third was wired.com. - Memorandum link to http://sc21.crane.navy.mil/adm.htm gone. No idea what that was. Issue #3 ======== - Is dated March/April 1997, like issue #2. - Link: In Out In Out You / Shake It All About removed Twas In Out In Out You Shake It All About The first to a piston company, the second to a page about lulavs and etrogs. Oddly, the first is *still there*... :) - Memorandum link to http://www.ts.umu.se/~widmark/lwframes.html removed - server not there any more. Was *excellent* random compendium of stuff by crazy Swedish academic whose name I forget. Issue #2: ========= - Link - Cheap and Nasty / Dear and Precious removed - most of the links weren't working anyway. - They were here, for reference:

Cheap and Nasty / Dear and Precious

- Memorandum link to random online page about nuclear power also removed, as link broken. *Should* have mirrored it.

Memorandum

Issue #1: ========= - Link to www.haddock.co.uk removed from blinking 'Will' in the Internet will save... etc. Never worked anyway. - Poor sod / Clever sod links removed from menu. One was to an article about Brian Harvey, the other to the homepage of an academic called Brian Harvey. - For reasons best known only to myself, the article 'Mystic Burger' was called Migration in the menu. Changed this. - 'Interested' (linking to a mailto:me) and 'Not interested' (linking to waz.easynet.co.uk homepage removed.
