CogDog Web Bones

Old webs. Archived. Because I can stop linkrot. And I do.

Reclaimed and Preserved

Dead domains, some were sites cut at the the hands of other hosts, more that were retired by me.

• barkingdog.me (archived April 2026, domain set up as a WordPress site designed for showcasing my favorite photos, a clever hack to automatically write posts from uploaded photos from the metadata, moved elsewhere as a static HTML archive. Yes, Virginia, there is a blog post)
• cogdog.casa (archived April 2026, bought maybe in the fun days of new vanity domains, included a few WordPress sites like the Puerto Rico Connection podcast that has been just moved to another casa, read the blog post)
• dommy.com (archived April 2026, my very first domain bought in 1997 when I started a side biz of making web sites) Hand crafted HTML sites, an eclectic mix, see the blogged details).
• 106tricks.net (achived Jan 22, 2024, the home of Westen106 the spaghetti western version of ds106 in January 2016)
• dontlookatmy.photos (archived Sep 20, 2023), originally a domain won in a contest)
• feed2js.org (archived June, 2023) Adding RSS to a web page as cut and paste (2003-2023, read the obituary), died from a no longer functioning parser library.
• 50ways.wikispaces.com (site killed by Wikispaces pooping their own bed)

Cleaning Up The Doghouse

Old sites moved around from my own web empire

• Moved from pechaflickr.net the flickr / pechakucha mashup site spawned first in 2008 at this subdomain, moved to its own, and moved back October 2026. Read about the move as well as the heap of other posts about pechaflickr.
• Moved from cogdogblog.com/stuff Collection of presentation sites/tools from ~2006 - 2014
• Moved from cogdogblog.com/alan Static HTML of the first blog iteration of cogdogblog.com in MovableTyper, ~2003-2005
• Moved from cogdogblog.com/storybox The StoryBox (2012-2014), a play with an ephemeral internet inside a real box.
