Geocities was close to shutting down, and I searched my disk for
Geocities sites that should stay, because my blogs have linked to
them. Since I seem to be the only person on that net that still cares
for not breaking links, I decided to spider them (with wget -np -r
),
and thus now provide local mirrors of:
Collected works of Daniil Kharms (www.geocities.com/Athens/8926/Kharms)
Mothra's Shrine (www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Island/2295/)
Walking the Mountains of the World (www.geocities.com/Yosemite/1015/)
Erich Fried - Gedichte 3 (www.geocities.com/k_klaudia/geditx3.htm)
The unofficial DOC & MERLE WATSON and semi-official WOODY GUTHRIE and ALMANAC SINGERS Site (www.geocities.com/nashville/3448/)
Garden of Forking Paths (www.geocities.com/papanagnou)
Indeed a pretty random selection, but that's what Geocities was known for.
I sincerely hope that I'll be able to find the other sites that now 410 can be found in the archive. (Update: archive.org has a seperate Special Collection for this purpose.)
(Update 2: geociti.es has a fairly complete mirror and you can simply edit the URL.)
