- Today I started tracking down html files that I had not yet uploaded onto the "new" (as of December 2005) server, and which were no longer on my old server or on the hard drive. Thanks to http://web.archive.org , I've been able to download fairly recent versions of those pages (which include pages about the history of the drawings and details on how I make the drawings) and I will eventually have them uploaded again--once they're brought up-to-date. However, I also started having some fun by typing in addresses from the old server (0catch.com)... Ever wonder what this site looked like five years ago? 2001 was only one year after I initially created this site and the year I started with 0catch as a server. I've uploaded the drawings page from late 2001 and plan on uploading other pages from years ago.
