I was expecting to make this post yesterday but nothing happened.

Today I checked out briefly between breaks. It didn’t happen instantly. Some pages were accessible, others were not. I guess that’s how it was planned. Slowly, sections were taken down from time to time. The process was started, and it was a matter of time to witness the final result.

So today, somewhere between commuting and dinner, Fire Man Lives and the whole Geocities where shutdown for good.

Well, as simple as expect the content of your Gmail inbox be there forever, Geocities was one of those things that you could naively say would be there for good for no other reason than it’s been there for as long as you can remember.

When I read about its closure, I couldn’t help to ponder about it and make some retrospective. After all my first websites and the ones from many friends were hosted there. Good times.

With this, a link of the past is broken. For the Tweeter generation, probably this went unnoticed. For me, embarrassingly enough, I could not let go. So I backed it up.

For nostalgia sake, Fire Man Lives will be stored here for as long as I can. This is close to 10 years old content, so don’t be too harsh.

Um, update your links?
