Sadly, my website has not been online since 18th January 2011, when
Sqweebs closed its free hosting service.

Because I am extremely busy with my new job, I have no plans to rehost
my website in the foreseeable future (my current contract expires in
December 2011). I do intend to rehost it eventually, but it's a lot of
work, as I will have to edit every single page to fit the new host
that I will choose.

Permission to rehost content from my website is granted on condition
that no money is exchanged, and that I am acknowledged as the author.

Why? Did you have absolute host-specific references in all
your pages? And even then, isn't is automatable? Walk
through all pages replacing "http://oldsitename" with
"http://newsitename".

No – almost all of my internal URIs are relative. In fact, the main
editing required is that every page has <P>Advert added by Sqweebs:</
P> at the bottom. Sure, I could write a program to iterate over all my
pages and fix that, but I have higher priorities for the very limited
free time that I now have, and researching free web-hosts isn't up
there either.

Sorry to hear that Andrew. Although good that you are busy with work, if 
that's what you want.

Ah yes, many of my pages have "Hosted by Force9" on them - ironic
as Force9 is a PlusNet product name they don't use any more. ;)

From time to time I get emails from people pointing out broken
links on my site. But, considering that there's 55,000 files on
there, I'm happy with 98% working links - which would still
leave 1100 broken links in there, and squeezing out that extra
2% just isn't worth the effort to track them down as a specific
task.

A couple of minutes with the Wayback Machine shows no
copies of Andrew's site recorded. Did anybody take a
snapshot while it was online? I was in the middle of
preparing for a housemove so didn't get the chance
myself.

Is the version on OOCities (mirror of the defunct Geocities) up to date?

If not, I bet somebody on the MM/JSW Yahoo! group has got a copy.

Eq.

I don't think I've changed anything under http://www.oocities.org/andrewbroad/spectrum/willy/
apart from updating index.html, but when I switched from GeoCities to
Sqweebs in October 2009, I upgraded http://www.oocities.org/andrewbroad/spectrum/download/
to my new format and reissued all my products, adding an HTML page for
each. When I rehost my site, I'll have to reissue them all again.
