Brook, nice find. Andreas, lucky for you, he reached out and you replied. Sorry to read that it never went further.
There were a lot of folks doing their own thing. On AOL (and the other services ... compuserve?) there were a few ways to post to a personal page, videos that were stored elsewhere. To bad Archive cannot access (or was unable to archive) those personal sites. I think a lot of trailblazing stuff was lost. Makes you wonder what will happen in the future to the data of today. Especially on free sites. <http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.patrickpower.com/> Like you said, archive.org will take you back to 99 through 07. Otto is very cool. This is another cloud piece <http://www.patrickpower.com/clouds9902.html> Most of his site is still on his server. The naming scheme is not friendly, but with a little poking around it becomes clear. <http://www.patrickpower.com/alley/movs/alley91002.html> <http://www.patrickpower.com/frogkittytiger/swfs/frogkittytiger100205.swf> <http://www.patrickpower.com/elmaview/> <http://www.patrickpower.com/elmaview/movs/elmaview082504.mov> <http://www.patrickpower.com/buckets/> TURN VOLUME DOWN FIRST <http://patrickpower.com/moonlapse/> <http://patrickpower.com/moonlapse/movs/moonlapse.mov> Not sure how, or if it would be easy without (a bit of work), but this would make a nice collection for a tribute page (on YouTube or Blip, Maybe on Marbles), with any revenue going to the family. I'd be willing to chip in with a couple of uploads. Just a idea....
