we built this city on rock and roll

Geocities will cease to exist later this year, Yahoo have announced. For many, this is irrelevant. For me, this is heartbreaking. Geocities was my introduction to site-building, simple as it was. Only recently I was reminiscing, you may recall - 'peteswayuk', march 7th - about the wonders of the network's chunky goodness. And soon it will be gone. Yahoo seem to be hinting at a summertime cull, and will be letting us know how to 'save our site data' then.

Sigh. All things must end. See that graphic? I loved that graphic. I spent weeks on end shouting at that graphic. And now... sigh...

Just did a wee task I've been meaning to do for a while: archiving and cleaning up the PetesWayUK webpages.

For anyone who didn't know me at school - lucky folks - PetesWayUK (named, in a long and roundabout way, after a Limp Bizkit track) consumed an awful lot of my time. Built on the suitably horrendous Geocities Pagebuilder system, it was my creative outlet prior to, and some way into, music and girls. Mostly, it revolved around the somewhat legendary Woogie tales, which - although complete tripe - will provide fond memories for the few who heard Alice do the lot out loud, from start to finish, once-upon-a-Cavan AYW team. There were even tee-shirts - still available here!

Anyway, every now and again I browse through it and get a big misty-eyed...
