Extraordinary News
April 7th 2010 08:53
Anyone who read my last post about losing stuff when geocities was demolished by Yahoo, may be pleasantly surprised by this extraordinary coincidence: I'd gone to find an example of a link to my old geocities site, one that no longer went anywhere, and lo and behold I suddenly found myself at the reocities version of one of my old geocities pages.
I thought I'd try checking to see if the main page existed, but the computer just whirled and whirled (on the screen that is; this new computer doesn't do such childish noises) and seemed to go nowhere. And then while I was doing something else, up pops my original home page with all the links. I haven't checked them all yet, because the one I was most interested in was the one with the missing stories I'd been writing about in the last post.
I checked on the link....and it went to the stories' index page. I clicked on the story I was most concerned about (one that was broadcast on the radio way back in 1989 - and has been broadcast several times since) and it was there! Great excitement. The other three stories on the page (which announces three stories instead of the four that are actually there...mistakes live on in cyberspace!) are all there too. And so, seemingly is a good deal else.
Guess what I'm busy doing? Downloading them all onto my computer, and then they'll go on the backup drive, and then...
It's very hard to protect data completely, but I'll be doing my best!
