    Default GeoCities will close on October 26, 2009

    That's <a href="http://geocities.yahoo.com/">next Monday</a>. Every GeoCities page will then cease to exist, forever, except perhaps in some half-incarnate zombified form with broken images courtesy of the <a href="http://www.archive.org/index.php">Internet Archive</a>.

    So, if you've ever loved someone's <a href="http://www.geocities.com/hugedb/">homely yet charming little corner of the web</a>, please use the next four days or so to come to terms with this parting, save pages for posterity, and make archivalists of yourselves all.

    I wouldn't care were it not for the fact that my ruddy portfolio is up there. Now I've got to find somewhere else to put it AND update all of my sent-out CV's to reflect this.
    There is no signature here. Move along.

    This is actually pretty huge for me. I remember building several different webpages (mostly about Final Fantasy and porn, never mixed though) when I was in high school. My teacher once yelled at me for making a webpage as part of his assignment. He thought I was playing a video game because it was about Final Fantasy VI.

    Everything other than the free accounts is getting transfered over to another server anyway.
