This is just so cool! Prebleny.com is on the Internet Archive!

I was watching TechTV and a guy from the Internet Archives was on describing how they have been making copies of the entire Internet each month since 1996. There are at 100 Terabytes now and adding 10 Terabytes each month. (The entire library of congress is 20 terabytes.) It's cool, you just go to the site and put in the web site and see what that site looked like way back when. As a matter of fact they call it the WayBackMachine and if you remember Rocky and Bullwinkle you will remember that one. I tried it and sure enough prebleny.com is there. The direct link is:

http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.prebleny.com

The first month available is November of 2000; guess they didn't find me till then. Prebleny.com has been online since May of 2000. I was freaked out looking at my site back then. Thankfully they didn't go back any further when the site looked really crude.

I know that my site is mirrored in several places on the web and with the Internet Archive it is easier to look back on what was going on at any point in time. Even if I decide to take this site down those archives will be there forever. . . That ought to be comforting to those whom I have immortalized . . . so far!
