February 13th, 2012 – I completed my project entitled “Empires” and decided that I should update my site while publishing it. By the 20th I had given up under the realization that it wasn’t going to be an easy task.
In July of last year I had finally completed the first stage of my site, and by September 20th I finished it’s first ‘Full-Update’. So I guess you could also say that’s when it first launched officially. In just under five months time I had well over 50 dead links I had to fix, and countless other links that were temporarily dead due to a full fledge formatting change to the Scribd website where I host my linked PDF documents. After hours of diligence and frustration, and a determination to make it easier, I created a spread-sheet back-up of my entire website less the pictures. It makes the updating easier and quicker, let alone doubles as a back-up in case of hack or crash. After spending a few days creating it…and another two days updating dead links, I can now say again that the D.O.T.S. site is back up and running and as up-to-date as can be expected.
There are more links listed as (Dead) than I would prefer but when considering the alternative, I chose to leave them and list their current state rather than remove the memory of their existence. The simple fact that a Doc., Vid., or Site ‘had’ existed at some point, gives validity that the subject therein mentioned at least did exist at some point. Troy herself was just a myth until someone pursued her myth and found her to be real, and with that…her myth was validated. Just because someone, anyone, tries to cover their evil deeds by methodically removing them off the internet…even using Copyright claims to do so, doesn’t mean that I will stop doing my part to make sure the rest of us never forget those deeds. Perfect example….just because the SPP.Gov website has been taken down here in the United States….doesn’t mean that it never existed, nor that Canada doesn’t still currently maintain theirs. Besides, only an idiot wouldn’t maintain multiple hard-copies of material this important. But I don’t have the resources to fight the corrupt system alone either. So, in short…if you come across a dead link associated with a vid or document…want to view it but can’t seem to find it on Google, then please just let me know and I will attempt to get you the material free of charge. Just keep in mind that if it’s just a dead website-link…I can most likely tell you what it was about but that’s it.
Sorry for the confusion or difficulty this may cause to anyone actually using my site as a resource, let alone following my blog. Like I said before…when you do everything yourself and you’re barely qualified to do any of it….well you get the point.
