THE RECOVERY
A second home
for old stories.
The original database is no longer available. These pages were recovered from archived captures and separately saved sources.
What was preserved
Recovered article text, observed publication dates, source references, original URL paths, and both captured versions of two grouped stories. The source archive is kept separately and unchanged. All 35 article URLs from the recovered production sitemap are covered.
What is still missing
This is a reconstruction, not a restored copy of the original database or proof that every story has been found. Of 34 distinct article-image references, 22 remain unavailable. Five have thumbnails only; seven have saved article-size images from live sources. One additional image is the old site logo. The article pages retain these distinctions.
One VPS post survives as an archived shell with five separate Gist files. A screencast has a transcript, but no saved video. Historical source code is displayed as text. Live-source images and Gists are not guaranteed to match the original historical bytes.
Dates and versions
The marathon article’s displayed date is January 25, 2011, while a later archive listing says January 9. The article date is retained with a visible note. Both running-story versions and both identical RubyMotion URL variants are preserved.
Local preview
This app is running locally for review. Production hosting, a new database, GitHub publication, and a domain switch still require separate approval.
