> Later we developed a bug database but during gta3, the testers would simply print out every bug. Every programmer, level designer and artist had a physical pile of sheets on their desk. If you felt the bug was more easily fixed by someone else you would simply put it on that persons pile. Is this kanban? :D

  Could be. If it's not JIRA it's good though!

  Despite the obvious downsides, it's kinda beautiful in its simplicity.

    As someone who writes copious little todo lists on post-it notes with little check boxes I can X out when they're done... I kinda love this. Not really remote-work friendly, though.

      I guess you could achieve the same (or a similar) workflow remotely by using fax machines.

        The uniqueness of the physical object being moved around plays a real role, though. I can also imagine the print out accumulating notes as it gets passed around.

    It's why, when we were full time in the office, I preferred the use of sticky notes. Physical task and progress tracking is great.

      Make sure to get the extra sticky ones though. We once lost track of quite some bugs because the glue let go and the post-its fell into the air-vents below.

archive.org does forget, they will take this down as soon as Rockstar tells them to.

  They show an IIS "404" page for part of one of my sites. It was always served under linux / apache. They have the rest of the site still; i dunno why they wouldn't archive the "Annotated Constitution"

  IIRC, if even the robots.txt on a site gets changed, it's applied retroactively to the wayback machine. So older versions won't get shown. I'm quite concerned about this for some domains I no longer control.

Archive.org can memorialise websites, but if nobody knows the website exists it is lost to memory. I have personally seen this happen when websites disappear from collective consciousness.

  Note that the Wayback Machine browser extension and it's auto-archive feature can help with that to some degree: https://github.com/internetarchive/wayback-machine-webextension https://github.com/internetarchive/wayback-machine-webextens...
