A trip down memory lane

 
Entry Content

It will come as no shock to my regular readers that I rarely update my blog. But did you you know that I also have a personal website? It's called brussard.com and is also rarely updated.



But just how rarely updated? Let the data speak for itself!



http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://brussard.com



The 'Wayback Machine' demonstrates an amazing chronology of infrequent content changes.



Starting in 2001, we have five updates.



April 21, 2001: A brief expirement in ilegible content rich with poor, low-contrast color scheme. WTF?

May 15, 2001: Well, maybe the expirement wasn't that brief. No change.
Jul 20, 2001: Ah. A new color scheme featuring "readability". A mention of the fourth of July!
Sep 28, 2001: No change.
Dec 03, 2001 : No change.



2002. What a great year.

Jan 20, 2002: No change.
Mar 29, 2002 No change.
May 26, 2002: No change.
Aug 02, 2002: No change. Though thankfully, references to the fourth of July only seem a month old, not 13 months old.
Sep 21, 2002: Change! The trip to Camano Island is replaced by a link to our wedding photos.
Nov 25, 2002: Minor update: professional wedding photo link added. At this time my site (for some odd reason) was the third link on Yahoo if you searched for 'professional wedding photos' ... traffic was at all-time high.
Nov 29, 2002: No change.



2003 snuck up on me.

Feb 14, 2003: First mention of the puppies.
Apr 24, 2003: No change.
May 25, 2003: No change.
Jun 21, 2003: No change.
Aug 06, 2003: No change.
Oct 01, 2003: No change.
Dec 03, 2003: No change.
Dec 23, 2003: No change.



2004? Already? But I haven't updated my website!

Mar 24, 2004: No change.
May 12, 2004: No change.
Jun 04, 2004: No change.
Jun 14, 2004: No change.
Aug 31, 2004: No change.
Sep 03, 2004: No change.
Sep 23, 2004: No change.
Dec 15, 2004: Wait for it .... Change! Mention of my motorbike for sale! (Still for sale, BTW)



2005 ... Year of the kangaroo in Australian astrology.

Feb 02, 2005: No change.
Feb 05, 2005: No change.
Feb 10, 2005: No change.



And then ... nothing. Apparently the wayback machine didn't keep track of me during the rest of 2005 or 2006.



Now, halfway through 2007 and the wayback machine hasn't even bothered to swing by.



But surprise! I last updated my website in July 2005. (I started adding dates at some point).



How do I get the wayback machine to find me again?
