Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
History is littered with hundreds of conflicts over the future of a community, group, location or business that were "resolved" when one of the parties stepped ahead and destroyed what was there. With the original point of contention destroyed, the debates would fall to the wayside. Archive Team believes that by duplicated condemned data, the conversation and debate can continue, as well as the richness and insight gained by keeping the materials. Our projects have ranged in size from a single volunteer downloading the data to a small-but-critical site, to over 100 volunteers stepping forward to acquire terabytes of user-created data to save for future generations.
The main site for Archive Team is at archiveteam.org and contains up to the date information on various projects, manifestos, plans and walkthroughs.
This collection contains the output of many Archive Team projects, both ongoing and completed. Thanks to the generous providing of disk space by the Internet Archive, multi-terabyte datasets can be made available, as well as in use by the Wayback Machine, providing a path back to lost websites and work.
Our collection has grown to the point of having sub-collections for the type of data we acquire. If you are seeking to browse the contents of these collections, the Wayback Machine is the best first stop. Otherwise, you are free to dig into the stacks to see what you may find.
The Archive Team Panic Downloads are full pulldowns of currently extant websites, meant to serve as emergency backups for needed sites that are in danger of closing, or which will be missed dearly if suddenly lost due to hard drive crashes or server failures.
Nice to see you back and happy for your success!
ReplyDeleteThanks Rebecca...I still would love to lose another 20, but we shall see...lol. For now I feel so much better in my clothes and it's amazing what a different 20 pounds makes!!! Health-wise and Confidence-wise! Thanks so much for sticking by my little ol blog even if I've not been very active with it of late. I appreciate your loyalty :)
DeleteI've lost almost 10lbs and I feel so happy about it. Clothes that I still had from before actually are starting to fit. I hope they are still somewhat fashionable!
DeleteThat's great Rebecca! I hear ya about the clothing! It's so expensive to have to buy a whole new wardrobe. A lot of the things I'm wearing right now are way to big, but I don't want to buy an in between wardrobe either. When I do buy something that really fits I get lots of compliments on my weight loss, otherwise wearing the baggy clothes no one really notices :)
DeleteTwenty one pounds! Good for you! Take out the jalapeños and I would join you with that omelet. It looks great!
ReplyDeleteAnd another one of my loyal readers :)
DeleteThank you too for sticking by me!
And sure, we can take out the jalapenos...wouldn't be as tasty ya wuss...but for you, sure thing! :)
Well done! Yay you, indeed! It seems a successful kind of diet.
ReplyDeleteThe omelette looks yummy.I suppose you don't eat bread with it.
Thanks DUTA! And it hasn't been that hard. Now that I've been eating this way for a year it's become second nature to me. I now see commercials on TV for hamburgers stuffed with french fries on pretzel bread and it makes me sick to think that we eat like that!!! I do miss eating cheetos though. And no bread, but I don't miss bread, it's potato chips and tortilla chips that I miss.
