Project Insomnia

Project Insomnia is many things, but in this context it is simply a "braindump" of whatever I happen to be thinking/reading/watching/doing at the moment. Parental guidance suggested.

This Web site has been abandoned due to the creator's lack of interest

The Mercury News is featuring an interesting AP article about abandoned Web sites.
One study of 3,634 blogs found that two-thirds had not been updated for at least two months and a quarter not since Day One.

``Some would say, `I'm going to be too busy but I'll get back to it,' but never did,'' said Jeffrey Henning, chief technology officer with Perseus Development, the research company that did the study. ``Most just kind of stopped.''

Other sites die because an event came and went -- political campaigns end, the new millennium arrived without computer-generated catastrophe.

The Year 2000 site for Massachusetts still urges citizens to stock up on supplies and withdraw money in case cash machines and credit cards fail. Igor Sidorkin's personal collection of Y2K software fixes gets 30 or so visitors daily -- mostly to download patches they should have installed four years ago.
I'm as guilty as most of these examples; longtime readers will note that I stopped working on Disneyland Backstage about the time Tomorrowland '98 opened, but kept the link up for a couple of years. Other old content hadn't been updated since it was originally published.
With the new format, I try to post something once every couple of days at a minimum. It's been up since July and seems to be going well, I think.
