Jewels, Gems, and Just Plain Funny Posts

Nov 11, 2016 6 Replies

As the web has aged, once useful and powerful sites like klownhammer.org have passed on. I had to dig up a copy of the crowbar FAQ from archive.org, as Google Groups sucks at search!



So, here's what I'd like to propose: I'm happy to archive the original text on my website, along with as much author credit as I can. This will hopefully help you track down Usenet archives or the guy responsible if you need to. Luigi gave us a great start with his yukanomics page, but Google Groups keeps changing the URLs to the posts.



I'm not asking permission, I'm asking for help! If you've got favorite posts that you could look up, please post a link to them or something.



I haven't built anything yet, but it'd be hosted at Puckdropper's Place,

I intend on keeping the webspace for some time, but I'm sure the owners of many other websites did too and now they're gone.



If you've got favorite posts you could look up or point to, please let me know!

Thanks! I'll be uploading posts when I get that part of the website ready for them.

Also, someone, here, long ago, posted this "Project Management" pic, via a link. I saved it on my Flickr page.

It helped a little bit... Just reminded me of the behavior of Google with quotes...

Here's a rough start on the page. I'll have to add Jewels and Gems (scary sharp comes to mind, as well as none of electric comet's posts) as I get to them. The Anti-FAQ still has to be looked up... but I've got real woodworking to do.

Tom Watson also had quite a few funny stories, if someone wants to do a search.
