Until recently a mildly embarrassing trace of a dumb site I made in 1994 was still kicking around in internet search results. It seems to have gone now, but there is still a trace of it on this site which archives Lycos search results for the words "rock sand stone aggregate" from 1995. Someone must have thought that was useful at the time for an engineering website. Actually it's quite interesting to look around that site, which seems to have lain untouched since 1995. For example, Jay's Hot Web Sites is a list of links that brings back memories. Anyone else remember Stroud's Consummate Winsock Apps and the CIA World Fact Book 1994? Or am I the oldest geek on Hubski? Anyway, it's kind of fascinating how this stuff has rattled around for more than 20 years while much else has been lost.

Edit: Their homepage says it was edited in 1998, and it boasts of being online since 1994.
