A celebration of old technology
Welcome one and all, to the resurrected Computer Legacy website. A home for all of my various projects relating to the wonders of old computer technology and related gubbins.
Over the years of owning this domain, I have attempted to put it to various uses..
- A website celebrating the wonders of shareware software from the 1990s
- A website database to catalogue physical CD-ROM releases
- A website to provide metadata on various bits of Windows software
All of which didn't really go anywhere special, and about 4-5 years ago I retired the website entirely however now is the time for it to come back, and act as a main portal for various projects, big or small, that I am working on.
The design of this site is very basic and probably feels rather out of date, but hey I like old web design and it's my site! So expect lots of silly little gifs and cliparts scattered about!
Projects
Projects I am currently working on, towards a state of "completion".
- Teletext Recovery from VHS - did you know that nearly every single recording on VHS from a TV source has the teletext data still there? Neither did I, but now I do I want to recover it all!
- MP3-2003 - a static representation of the MP3.com website from Thanksgiving 2003 as a means to present the metadata in a way that is easily browsable.
- The No Commentary Demonstration Video Series - video demonstrations of various bits of abandonware sans commentary, available for you to use in your own video projects
Projects Elsewhere...
These are projects I'm working on that likely have no end
- MusicBrainz - always contributing various bits of information relating to all elements of music.
- Archive.org - always contributing various things I come across that I feel are important to share
Completed, Abandoned and Future Projects?
Monuments of achievement and disappointment reside here.
