2023 — the old archive. In January of this year the old site was taken down to bone overnight — posts, comments, the submit queue, twenty years of mail, gone between one backup and the next. The host calls it a billing lapse. The host is wrong, and someday I will write up why. I am restoring the old entries one by one as I verify recovered copies against my notes. The links below stand where the stories stood. If you saved one — printout, cache, screenshot — hold onto it until the tip line reopens.
