I’ve had <code>archives.org.au</code> for over a decade, and have used it for my email address for lots of that time. So I must admit to being a bit annoyed! If it wasn’t for the fact that I have one of these domain names, I’d probably be pretty supportive of the move — I like the idea that domain names are for different purposes (for example, I love the fact that Australians can have personal <code>.id.au</code> domain names).</p> <p>So, I’m going to register something called “ArchivesWiki Inc.” and see if I can keep the name!</p> <p>Links:</p> <ul> <li> <a href="https://www.auda.org.au/blog/orgau-eligibility-rule-changes-explained">https://www.auda.org.au/blog/orgau-eligibility-rule-changes-explained</a> </li> <li> <a href="https://www.auda.org.au/au-domain-names/new-au-licensing-rules/orgau-rule-changes">https://www.auda.org.au/au-domain-names/new-au-licensing-rules/orgau-rule-changes</a> </li> </ul>https://twyne.samwilson.id.au/P22166https://twyne.samwilson.id.au/P22166Thu, 01 Apr 2021 08:33:28 +0000<p>Someone has grabbed an old domain that I used to host. I don’t really mind of course, I’ve not renewed it for ages, but there’s a slight feeling of having let a good thing go!</p> <p>It was <code>freo.org.au</code>, and when I was involved with the Fremantle Society we had an idea to set up a “civic wiki”. It never really went anywhere. I’ve still got the data though; I have thought about putting it online at <a href="https://freo.archives.org.au/">https://freo.archives.org.au/</a></p> <p>I found about it being online again thanks to UptimeRobot, who helpfully told me it’d been down for 8894 hours, 8 minutes and 59 seconds.</p>https://twyne.samwilson.id.au/P117https://twyne.samwilson.id.au/P117Wed, 06 Jan 2021 07:29:13 +0000
