wise-nano wiki & metamodern blog - now gone

lsuess · May 31st 2017, 12:30pm

The long inactive wise-nano wiki now broke down completely.

wise-nano.org/w/index.php/Main_Page

Last surface snapshot on internet archive WaybackMachine: 2015
Just some pages:
web.archive.org/web/*/http://w…org/w/index.php/Main_Page
web.archive.org/web/2015062701….org:80/w/Wise_Nano:About
- web.archive.org/web/2015090819…nano.org/w/Wisenano_works
web.archive.org/web/2015092217….org/w/User_talk:Cphoenix
- web.archive.org/web/2015100222…o.org/w/Programming_notes

I think it was maintained by Chris Phoenix.

Chris' blog was also great, I think he is working at Google these days, hopefully he's preaching APM to the Googlers.

Do you maybe have old links of Chris' blog for digging in the waybackmachine?

I have even worse news:
Drexlers blog "metamodern" broke down too.
There was lots of highly valuable stuff.
Just an example:
metamodern.com/2008/12/27/towa…-nanosystems-materials-1/
web.archive.org/web/2016032801…-nanosystems-materials-1/
(maybe I'll edit in more here later)

One more worry:

I've recently checked for web activity of Josh Hall
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Storrs_Hall
foresight.org/about/Hall.html
(googles recent time filter) and only found total silence.
And lots of dead links on his homepage:
autogeny.org/

He doesn't look too healthy in this video:

and mentions health problems here:
foresight.org/nanodot/?p=3789
Sounds like circulatory problems and stroke.

I hope he's all right.

I did send a message to Josh via my linkedin.com contact when I started this web site. I did not hear back from him. However, I see he has a Facebook page and is active there (he just posted today in fact.) After browsing his posts, it looks like he now has a pilot ~~license~~ certificate - earned about 5 years ago and still flying, so medically fit to fly per the FAA.

(I do not have a Facebook account, but my wife does. We jointly use hers to keep in touch with family members who joined. Neither of us would have joined otherwise.)

Yes it sucks that Drexler went quiet also. Here's a link to Chris' old blog crnano.typepad.com/crnblog/201…orobots-now-possible.html

I found a complete backup of the whole wise-nano wiki,
archive.org/details/wiki-nano_wiseorg_w
It says: "Last-updated-date 2014-02-08"
Thus it's a little older than the last WaybackMachine snapshops that I had linked in the first post here.
The backup can't be viewed without (nontrivial) installation though.

Just to let everyone know,
I took an effort to dig up a large part of Eric Drexlers metamodern blog from the internet archive (all the date carrying pages).

Here are the links:
apm.bplaced.net/w/index.php?ti…from_the_Internet_Archive
Lots of "gems" in there.
