This is really where the internet stands out. A personal site by a personal enthusiast. It's sad seeing similar stuff get stuck behind the facebook wall and disappear after a year or two. Great site and great job.

I know right. These are the kinds of sites I remember scouring the internet for before the boom. Note: Not suggesting we need to take things back to the 90's. It was a time, it passed.

  On the flip side, the people most likely to do things like this are also most likely to set up their own site somewhere and keep it running. For instance, http://www.windytan.com/ http://www.windytan.com/ (Oona Räisänen) and http://tronixstuff.com/ http://tronixstuff.com/ (John Boxall).

Agreed - the other day I was getting nostalgic for this kind of thing, when ISP's gave you 2MB of space and an ftp account to do whatever you wanted with. I kind of wish that model had continued; maybe $45 a month for broadband and a microvps included for hosting your own stuff.
