Welcome to The Dredwerkz Archives. There are four ways to search through old posts on the website:
- Go back and look at the site at a particular day/time/year.
- Click on a list of pre-defined dates.
- Search using keywords.
- Search using our search engine.
There are advantages and disadvantages to each. I'll outline the methods below.
Every post on the website has a timecode stamped to it that looks something like this: http://dredwerkz.com/archive:2003-01-24/10:21:30/. It's fairly intuitive, and using that sequence of year-month-date, you can easily navigate through the past months and years of the site. (If you wish to omit the time, you can: it automatically assumes 11:59pm if you do so.) Using this method, however, does mean that one cannot use method #3 simultaneously.
Rather than list every time and date for the past several years on this post, I'll just link to this article which does so. I may not be super-vigilant about updating that article, but I'll try my best.
The keyword search is explained here. Essentially, you can use keywords (or "tags" as they're known) to look for particular articles on the site. The advantage to this is that your results are easy to see. The disadvantage is that you cannot combine the tags with the archive (from #1 above) so if you choose popular tags, you'll need to add more tags to the mix to filter things down to a reasonable size. To look for a post about bush and polls, for instance, you could type in http://dredwerkz.com/bush/poll/ and get back several results.
The regular, ordinary search engine has been offline for awhile. Once it goes back online, it will be located right here. The advantage to this search engine is that you can search through all the words in an article, rather than just the keywords. The disadvantage is that, currently, you cannot search for words of 3 or less letters. (It's a problem with the engine, not my coding!)
If all else fails, you can always head over to the internet archive to see what this site has looked like in the past. Unlike the four methods outlined above, the archive will also show you what the site itself looked like (style/color/images) in the past, which is mildly amusing to peruse.
after some careful web log analysis i realized that certain spiders need to have a link to each article in order to log the information contained therein; unfortunately, since i've now set a 7-10 article limit on most subsections, items that are old get pushed into the archives more quickly than spiders can search them; (the archive subsection/tutorial, fortunately, should never have more than 7 articles in it!) although you can easily use the wayback machine to get them, there is no hard-coded link to these articles; to remedy this, i'm now incorporating a series of anchor links to various weeks into this article; this way one can simply click on the link to go back to a particular week; i'll keep it up to date, adding new weeks, as time goes on; well, here goes:
