Ah, so this is why I suddenly got a bunch of email.

Hey all, site owner here. Thanks for the visits and all the fun stories! I really miss this era of computing. Feel free to let me know if you have something that should be added to the site.

Here's some site meta-history too:

Cool site! I especially like the list of RFCs.

Just fyi, towel.blinkenlights.nl:23 still works for me, though I think maybe that's an IPv6 version, there's a note about ipv6 at the start that I was too slow to read. Maybe it should be re-listed? :)


Thanks! I did notice there are mixed stories about it working, and I got some email about it too. I'll check it out and make an update.


it's possible one of those emails might have been from me ;)
