I made my first website on Geocities (RIP) circa 1994. At some point, around a decade ago, Yahoo took over Geocities and after that, I had no means to get back up into it. It was there frozen in time. I emailed Yahoo Geocities support every once in the while, asking them for access to my own site or to at least take the site down. Those emails never produced a response. Then, sometime last year, it is announced that Yahoo is finally trashing Geocities. My prayers have been answered, right? Alas, I thought they were. Then I was writing about my old website and I felt a twinge of regret that I was no longer able to link to it. Sigh. Well, let’s just doublecheck with senyor Google to see if my old site has somehow gotten some sort of RIP reprieve. And, lo and behold, hallelujah. Well, maybe hallelujah is a tad effusive. Maybe, she says. And I apologize if this reocities business is a trojan horse filled with some shitty viruses. They played with my (our) emotions and won.
