Indiana jones

Recently while on the web at work, I clicked onto a link by accident, and was taken to page that I had not seen for several years. It was exactly the same as I had last seen it. That last post which said he would be back soon to finish off was still there the work uncompleted. Reading the text again I felt nostalgic; the old typeset and layout stuck it firmly in the mid nineties. And then a thought occurred to me, I am Indiana Jones! Instead of going through thick jungles and exploring lost ruins, the Internet had become the vast sands of Egypt, or the heights of the Khyber Pass. With ancient places for me to visit were hidden texts of lore are waiting for me. And so deciding not to do any more work that day I looked for similar places, some were gone, others ravaged or replaced in some only dead links remained. But I persisted and slowly old sites from my early surfing came back. Such as the Traveller web ring for people who used to play with pen paper and dice, before computers eradicated the old geek pastimes and replaced them.
Some of them are endearing like old friends, some could not be read at all due to strange background and text colours.
Others were just terrible. A lot of them had just the one page, the Webmaster never returning some with the under construction banner still there 7-8 years later (why are they still here? is there an internet version of the elephant dying grounds?)

Perhaps in years to come students will get honours in computing archaeology sifting through ancient data for how people in the past lived . Being a blogger it got me to thinking would I be the Samuel Pepes of the 21century or will I be forgotten. Or will they think oh god its that everyday is like Sunday wanker again.
