A checkpoint on 20 October 2026.
There are 26 recovered articles on the site now. There is also a car you can drive around a circuit in the browser. The article about a Lego case for a Raspberry Pi is still there, with the photographs.
The writing index collects the articles. The car has its own page. Here is a short way into both, with one older project worth a look along the way.
The writing came back with its old addresses
The archive contains posts from 2012 to 2015. The July recovery brought back the canonical articles and 40 media files. The original dated paths still work.
Some posts are short. Some discuss software or services that need to be understood in their time. One describes what I thought I had learned about work after a year in a startup. Another records an experiment with Lego and my daughter.
They carry an archive note, and the old dates remain visible. A reader can see what was written then without having to treat it as advice for today.
The newer writing sits alongside that material. It can look back on Imperial, Foody, tennis or work at Delivery Hero from a later point in time. Keeping those two kinds of writing separate makes the dates meaningful.
The writing index is where they meet. I have also written up how the recovery worked, including the limits of what Wayback can preserve.
The car has somewhere to go
The Formula playground has a workbench, a tunnel and a track. You can choose a colour and take a lap around its version of Brands Hatch Indy.
The time trial checks the route, records a valid best lap and keeps a ghost in the current browser. It gives a return visit something specific to do: try the same lap again.
There are limits to the model. The track draws on mapped and elevation data, with approximate road and kerb geometry. The driving model is simplified. It is a browser playground, and the details should be described at that scale.
It also has its own page. The archive does not need to load a racing car to display an old paragraph. The build account covers the track, lap checks and local ghost in more detail.
The case had already been replaced
In 2013 I bought a Raspberry Pi and built a Lego case while waiting for a case from eBay. By the time I wrote the post, the purchased case had arrived.
The article says that plainly. It also keeps the photographs of the attempt.
That project does not need a revised account in which the homemade case turns out to have been essential. The original account already explains why I did it and what happened afterwards.
What is here so far
This October inventory says which things are on the site and where to find them. It does not yet say which new pieces people will read, which projects will change, or what will still be worth revisiting in December.
For now, there is old writing to read and a car to drive. The Lego case remains available for inspection too.
