there is something terribly wrong with digital media.
where do dead flash websites go? at home i put books in a bookcase so i can watch and read the inspiring ones every now and then.
but for example, where did the old "version one" flash sites of http://www.viaduct.co.uk and http://www.design-museum.de/ go? they were an illustration of the 1999 Zeitgeist, important for webdesign history. put 'm back online.

good point. there's no museum or curator for old versions. except some copies on some machines. or a screenshot in a book. then again that's the internet.

yeah there are archives of old websites, 30 billion
- rabattski0
i am aware of the wayback machine but most of those don't work toulouz or show new and old combined. not really a proper archive.

true

great idea - as i get unlimited webspace and sub domains (nt only with unix for additional £10 p.a.) if anyone wants to send me old sites i'll set up an archive :)

i searched for the english translation highrise, but couldn't find one that quick.

no need to translate, great word

zeitgeist can't really be translated in a proper way. but i think in english they use it just as it is. just like the word angst.

yall prolly know this one.

The spirit of the age, or often the phrase here and now is used similarly as in "the here and now" "in the here and now" but then that can only be used in the present tense and not in the past as in "the Zeitgeist of 1999" correct, but the "the here and now of 1999 incorrect"
I dont know exactly what i'm talking aboot but it seems to make sense
