Interesting websites

If you search an unknown song or just want to have some fun, then you can hum ("sing" with closed lips) a song for a few seconds and the humming engine tries to identify which song you are trying to reproduce. For sure you can also search by normal singing there.

http://www.woot.com
What is Woot and who's behind it?
Woot is a gaggle of unique companies. Or half a gaggle, at least. Woot Services LLC operates the websites and keeps the motor purring; Woot Workshop LLC provides creative content and mans the stereo for the ride; and Woot, Inc. sells the merchandise and pays for the gas. The aforementioned websites, of which Woot.com is the alpha URL, focus on selling cool stuff cheap and encouraging (almost) unfiltered community discussion about that cheap stuff. The probably unreliable hivemind of the Internet has more to say about us in this Wikipedia article.
I see only one item, do you sell anything else?
No. We sell one item per day until it is sold out or until 11:59pm central time when it is replaced (see next entry for details). However, each item we sell is in stock and typically ships within 2-3 business days.
What is the schedule for new items?
The short answer: we offer a new item every single day. The details: a new product is released every morning at 12am central time, seven days a week. (If you're not a morning person, this can be described as every night at midnight. Better?) If a product sells out during its run, a new item will not appear until the next release time. You will know if a product is sold out, because the main page says "SOLD OUT" instead of "I want one". (Clever, eh?)
I missed yesterday's item, can I still get one?
No. Each woot.com product is discontinued at 11:59pm central time. That's that. Period. We may get more at a later date if we're lucky, but we offer no guarantees, we allow no backorders, and we have no waiting/notification lists. Too bad.
I want to talk to a live person there, can I call you?
No. We are busy sourcing new products and shipping orders. You can post a comment to our community board, but we don't guarantee we'll respond. You should Google for the manufacturer contact to get product answers – we suggest a dating service, magic 8 ball, or ouija board for general life solutions.
Will I receive customer support like I'm used to?
No. Well, not really. If you buy something you don't end up liking or you have what marketing people call "buyer's remorse," sell it on eBay. It's likely you'll make money doing this and save everyone a hassle. If the item doesn't work, find out what you're doing wrong. Yes, we know you think the item is bad, but it's probably your fault. Google your problem, or come back to that product discussion in our community and ask other people if they know. Try to call the manufacturer and ask if they know. If you give up and must return it to us, then follow on to the next FAQ entry.
How do I return a defective product?
Unless we specifically tell you not to, call the manufacturer of the product you bought. You will likely get a replacement of a new model or better item from them. If we still haven't dissuaded you, email rma@woot.com with your woot order number, the name of the product you are returning, and the detailed problem with the item. We will respond with return authorization by the next business day. Because we aren't likely to have a replacement in stock, you should be prepared for a refund-only option if that's all we can do. Know that return freight will be at your expense. Again, you will probably get a better deal from the manufacturer, or whoever else handling member service for that product.
Can Woot start listing sale prices in the blog entries?
No, not any time soon. Certain portions of our database have been seized by INTERPOL as part of an ongoing investigation into bootleg cigarette trafficking. Or, possibly, the Russian mafia has hacked our blog and disabled the price-listing function because it was somehow interfering with their spam operation. Or maybe we just don't feel like it. In any case, the answer is no.
Will Woot ever tell us how many units remain available in a given sale?
No. That would spoil the fun. But we will give you one hint, which brings us to...
Why is the "I Want One" button bouncing around?
Ah, that means we're in Urgent Mode. Act fast - a sellout is approaching! The bouncing button is like a nutty old prophet guy on the street wearing a signboard that says "THE END IS NIGH," only cleaner, less crazy, and more orange.
I see some orange flashing lights on the main page – what do they mean?
No, you aren't seeing a side effect from your allergy medication. You have found a Woot-Off, a short term frenzied mutation of our product posting procedure. In Woot-Off mode, a new product is launched immediately after the sellout of the previous deal. There is a half-Woot-life of 12 hours maximum on any product within a Woot-Off that does not sell out. The number of Woot-Off items, sequence, and quantity will not be announced. When Woot-Off mode is over, the orange lights will disappear and our normal schedule will resume. Depending on its success, this may be a mode we would go into once or twice a month for a relatively short duration of time (24-72 hours generally.)
Does Woot offer an RSS feed? Hey, what's an RSS feed anyway?
To answer your first question, yes. Simply subscribe to http://www.woot.com/blog/rss.aspx in your RSS reader to receive updates of all of our new items and new blog posts. Your life will immediately, measurably improve in ways you never thought possible.
To answer your second question: if you don't know what RSS is, how'd you ask the first question? Never mind; RSS is a way to receive headlines and article links whenever your favorite blogs and news sites update their content. All the cool kids are using it. To join in, you need to download and install an RSS reader – download your choice from this handy guide and follow the installation instructions. Once that's rolling, subscribe to http://www.woot.com/blog/rss.aspx. You'll never miss a Woot again, unless you do something foolish like fall asleep.
Ordering
How do I create a Woot account?
Scroll up to the top of this page where it says "Hi. Are you new?" Click "Start here." You will need to supply a valid email address, a password of your choice, and a unique community nickname by which you will be known. Then click on the "woot me" button and your account is ready for buying products and using the forums. If you plan to buy, you can add your credit card and shipping info to your account here. You can also add or change it later by clicking on "My Account." Only one account per email address and credit card number is allowed.
What payment options do I have?
You can pay for your orders using VISA, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, or Paypal accounts that are tied to a credit card. (Our fast-paced, annoying business model doesn't leave time to wait for your bank to confirm your account balance.) We do not accept checks, money orders, uncut gemstones, or broken promises.
What are my shipping options?
Currently, your shipping options are limited. An item can ship if you order it, or not ship if you don't. We will ship by common carrier and try to stick with the same service for most items. Right now, we are making Fed-Ex happy, but depending on a particular item, we could change to save cost.
How can I track my order?
Regardless of shipping method, you will get a tracking email once your order ships. You can check your order status by logging in and clicking the “My Account” tab at the top of the page. Your account page will list all your previous orders. Click on the order number to view tracking information for that order. Do not email us the next day asking when your item will ship. Take a breath. Have a cup of coffee. Patience in all things, grasshopper.
Why isn't my state/country/province listed; do you ship internationally?
No, we do not ship outside of the continental United States at this time. We do not ship to Canada, Mexico, Alaska, Hawaii, nor to Maggie's Nipples, Wyoming or Assinippi, Massachusetts at this time.
I'll take them all, what is my discount?
There is a maximum of 3 units purchased per order with 1 order per account each day. The shipping charge is only charged once so you'll save a slight amount on 2 or 3. You can't have them all. You have to share with the other boys and girls.
I'm a wholesaler/retailer/Bill Gates; can I buy from you in bulk?
No. You can buy a maximum of 3. Please don't ask again or we'll sprinkle some nasty microbes on your next order. Jeez, some people…
LAUNCH EVENTS
I see some kind of weird-looking pope hat on the main page. What's that about?
A Pope hat? Oh, that. It's supposed to be a rocket ship. In any case, that's our LAUNCH EVENT indicator! And boy, are you a lucky cuss. Spying the LAUNCH EVENT indicator is like catching sight of a leprechaun, or the elusive white whale. When you see it next to a Woot item, that item is available on Woot and nowhere else! Woot is the first and only place you can get such a doo-dad!
What do you mean “the first and only place?” Everything is attainable.
True, but assuming you're not a cat burglar, or an industrial spy, or the manufacturer's mistress, you won't have had an opportunity to pick up a Woot LAUNCH EVENT item before you see it here.
How come? Where do “LAUNCH EVENT” items come from?
It could be that you're looking at the item's initial market launch. Or it could be a special sneak preview just for Wooters. It could be that legislation banning the item has just expired. It could be that the item uses totally new technology bestowed upon us by a benevolent race of visiting aliens. (Overwhelmingly, it will be one of those first two.)
If this LAUNCH EVENT item isn't available anywhere else, how am I supposed to shop around and make comparisons?
Yeah, it sort of seems like you can't.
Why do you keep putting LAUNCH EVENT in all caps?
To fully convey its majesty.
Maybe I'll just wait until this item becomes more widely available, so I know what other users think of it.
If that's how you want to live your life, sure. Fine. There are those who would say that your type will inherit the earth. Until then, though, the rest of us will have all the coolest gizmos.
Community
What is the Community?
The community section of Woot features four public forums. “Woots” is where we encourage everyone to post their comments, opinions, experiences, and share technical knowledge about each of our items. Does one of the items suck so bad that they should all be ritualistically burned en masse? Or perhaps a product rocks SO hard that everyone should sell their house, forget their past life, and buy a few of these up? You get the idea. “News” will carry announcements of new developments within the company, links to media pieces about Woot, that sort of thing. “Contests” is where our weekly contests will live, logically enough. And “Everything Else” is wide-open. This will be the only forum where users can start new topic discussions.
What's with the Blog?
Here, in the popular web log format, you'll find our daily items along with articles and links of interest to all our special little Wooters out there. Look for this section of the site to turn into quite the content carnival over the coming weeks. If you click on “comments” below a blog entry, you'll wind up at the forum discussion topic for that post.
How do I use the message board?
First, you will need a keyboard. Then you need a Woot account, which you can easily create by clicking “Start Here” or “My Account.” Once you're all logged in, simply go to “The Community,” click on the forum and topic in question, and then click on “Reply” or (in the Everything Else forum) “Post.” Feel free to let it fly, just keep it PG-13.
Which Woot staff people use the message boards?
We'll tell you, but you have to promise not to stalk us. As indicated by the fetching "Woot Staff Member" forum avatar, Snapster, Dave Bug, Luke Duff, Big D, Jason Toon, Solais, and Agnew are the real live Woot employees that you can rub e-shoulders with on the community boards. We've also recruited a few volunteer moderators and tagged them with a similar graphic. And any post by Administrator is official Woot bidness, too. Beware anybody else who seems to speak for us.
What is not allowed in the community?
First, the usual disclaimer – we're not responsible for the content of any user- submitted post in our community. In practice, we'll try to enforce some simple guidelines below. We want good and bad feedback and will not defend ourselves by means of censorship.
Do not post personal information such as addresses, phone numbers, etc.
Do not post any advertising to which you are related or stand to profit from the referral. (This means any reference to another site must be on topic, such as a lower price found, a product review, articles of particular interest to Wooters, etc.)
Do not post fake reviews (good or bad) of a product you have not physically used or seen used firsthand. Feel free to post what you've heard, just try to be clear and upfront about it.
Do not post anything that isn't safe for work, or safe for kids. Again, think PG-13. We're sure you're aware that there are plenty of forums on the web that would love to have your smut. This is not one of them, and we'll enforce it. Complain about it too much and we'll tell your grandma what a sicko you are.
Do not include any graphics in your signature that are larger than 5K in filesize, or in any other way obnoxious.
We know spamming and forum vandalism when we see it. We will enjoy ruthlessly destroying it. So bring it, chumps! Bring it!
The Podcast
What is this "podcast" you speak of?
It's an audio broadcast in mp3 form - basically an RSS feed that talks. The deal is, you use podcast software to subscribe to the podcasts you want to hear (more on that in a moment). Every time that podcast releases a new mp3 "episode", your software automatically downloads it for your listening pleasure. But seeing as how that's a pretty big hassle, we also let you directly download individual podcasts by clicking on the exclamation-point graphic to the left of the podcast title. And you can hit the "play" button on the little player just below the title to listen to a streaming version. All of these controls can be found on the front page of the site, and in the first post in that day's forum discussion. (Yes, past podcasts are still available for download through their respective forum discussions, hopefully forever.)
Why would I want to hear the Woot podcast?
Our podcast will pop up every weekday at midnight, to tell you about the new woot for the day, and to deliver an original song, skit, or other chunk of Woot-grade humor. They're all created by Matthew, one of the guys responsible for writing the famous Woot product descriptions.
So, the podcast is just somebody reading the product description from the site?
No, no no! Let us say it again: it will deliver an original song, skit, or other chunk of Woot-grade humor, five days a week. The sensibility will be the same, but the gags will all be fresh and exclusive.
I'm convinced. How can I subscribe to the Woot podcast?
If you want to use iTunes, click here and iTunes will start the process, all automatic-like. If you're hip to the game and you want to manually paste the URL of our podcast feed into iTunes or another podcast client, use http://www.woot.com/blog/rss.aspx, the same as our RSS feed. Our wise, witty, wonderful podcasts will begin appearing in your library every night like magical elves of pure sound. Enjoy.
Do I have to use an iPod or iTunes?
No. Don't be fooled by the name – podcasting is not just an Apple thing. The open-source partisans among you can use iPodder to download your podcasts, then play them however you play mp3s: on your computer's media software, your portable digital music player, whatevs. Just follow iPodder's instructions for subscribing. Or you can Google "podcast client" and see what you come up with. The point is, don't write off podcasting just because you're not down with the Jobs crew.
Can I hear the Woot podcast without going through the subscription process?
Why, yes. As we said above, you can also manually download an individual podcast mp3 by clicking the button next to the podcast title, or you can hear a streaming version by clicking the play button on the player. And both of those options are available on either Woot's front page and in the first post in that item's forum discussion. It's so easy, the only acceptable excuse for not listening is "I am a total lameoid who hates fun."
The Company
Where are you guys located?
In the hearts of gadget-loving skinflints everywhere, which happens to be just outside Dallas, Texas. A statistically insignificant few of us are based in Seattle, Washington.
Do you have a privacy policy? Is it a secret?
Yes, we do, and no, it's not a secret. Read it in full.
Can I work for Woot?
We don't know – can you? Check out our job listings and you tell us. We're not a huge operation, but we do have need of a few good homos sapiens from time to time. Repeatedly applying for jobs you are clearly not qualified for is a good way to wind up in our never-hire file.

"About Warrick
"My old web hosting company lost my site in its entirety (duh!) when a hard drive died on them. Needless to say that I was peeved, but I do notice that it is available to browse on the wayback machine... Does anyone have any ideas if I can download my full site?" - A request for help at archive.org
" I am restoring a book by Professor of Law Hugh Gibbons and found when listing his references that he created a website on the principles of law in 2002, then abandoned it in 2006 or so, when he retired. ....Somebody else has that domain now, with Japanese text that looks like nonsense. I do not need the domain, just the original content. "
-- Dag Forssell
Warrick is a utility for reconstructing or recovering a website when a back-up is not available. Warrick uses Memento TimeMaps to discover archived copies of resources. Such resources may exist at the Internet Archive, Google, or another archival organization. Warrick will download the pages and images and will save them to your filesystem. Warrick can be ran through our website or as a command-line utility (directions for downloading, installing, and running are given below).
Since Warrick uses the Memento Framework to assist in the recovery process, load balancing on your system is important. Memento queries the archives and search engine caches for mementos (archived resources). Since these archives and resources expect a certain amount of politeness, query limits are put into place. Running Warrick multiple times over a period of several days or weeks can increase the number of recovered files because the availability of content in the archives fluctuates. Internet Archive's repository is at least 6-12 months out of date, and therefore you will only find content from them if your website has been around at least that long. If they do not have your website archived, you might want to run Warrick again in 6-12 months.
Warrick is named after a fictional forensic scientist with a penchant for gambling. It was built as part of a research project in 2005 by Frank McCown, a Ph.D. student at Old Dominion University. In 2011, Justin F. Brunelle, another Ph.D. student from ODU, has been working to adapt Warrick to utilize Memento instead of operating independently. A full release of the command-line and web interface products is expected in early 2012. You can read about the original Warrick and our experiments reconstructing websites here. Future publications are expected to outline experimentation and the work done with the new version of Warrick that utilizes Memento.
If you would like to cite Warrick in your academic publication, please cite the following:
Frank McCown, Joan A. Smith, Michael L. Nelson, and Johan Bollen, Lazy Preservation: Reconstructing Websites by Crawling the Crawlers, Proceedings of the 8th ACM International Workshop on Web Information and Data Management (WIDM 2006), p. 67-74, 2006.
Additional information on the Warrick project can be found at the WS-DL Blog. A copy of the command-line tool can be downloaded a Warrick's Google Code page. Information on installing and running the client-side version is available in the Wiki. For technical assistance, please send an email to the Warrick Google Group at warrickrecovery@googlegroups.com.
How It Works
Warrick interacts with Memento TimeMaps to recover resources from archives. Memento has knowledge of the mementos available at a variety of archives, and Warrick asks Memento for a list of the archived copies of a resource. Warrick chooses the best version of the resource and downloads it to the host machine's hard drive using mcurl. mcurl is a wrapper for the cURL command.
Earlier versions of Warrick did use the Google API and lister site of the IA, but since APIs are not constant over time, Warrick has been designed to allow Memento to handle the responsibility of interacting with the archives. This allows Warrick to evolve independently of the archives, and work more consistantly over time.
Warrick is first given a seed URL, the base URL (e.g., http://www.foo.edu/~joe/) for the website which should be reconstructed. This URL is added to the URL queue for recovery.
Warrick first makes queries to Memento to get the indexed/cached mementos for the particular site. Requests to the TimeMaps are cached to prevent unnecessary strain on the Memento Framework during future recoveries of the same resources. Please note that multiple resources may be required to get a canonical version of a site or even page. Such constituent resources could be CSS or image files, and are necessary to provide an accurate recreation of the resource representation.
Each time an HTML resource is recovered, it is parsed for links to other resources, and the links are added to the URL queue. Only URLs that are in and beneath the seed URL are recovered. So if the seed URL is http://www.foo.edu/~joe/, only URLs matching http://www.foo.edu/~joe/* are recovered.
Warrick saves the recovered resources to disk. If a resource is found in more than one web repository, Warrick saves the resource with the most recent date. Some resources, especially images or PDFs, will not have a date associated with them. If the resource is a PDF, PostScript, Word document, or other non-HTML format, then Warrick will choose the IA (canonical) version over the HTML-version of the resource.
Several files are created as "byproducts" of the recovery process. A reconstruction summary file is created that lists the URLs that were successfully and unsuccessfully recovered. Unsuccessful recovery attempts are prepended with the text "FAILED::". Here"s an example:

etc...
The name of the summary file depends on the URL you used to start the reconstruction, or the directory the recovered files are stored in. If you used http://www.foo.edu/~joe/, the file will be named www.foo.edu.joe_reconstruct_log.txt.
*.save files are created upon successful completion of a recovery session. This file contains information about the recovery so that unfinished or suspended recovery jobs can be resumed later. This is handy for throttling purposes, or even pausing the recovery process for any period of time. The files are stored as the process ID of the last recovery run and the name of the machine in the following format: [Process ID]_[Machine name].save. The contents of the file will be XML.
A file called logfile.o will be created as a way for Warrick to self-monitor its progress recoverying a particular resource. This file can be disregarded, as it is just a file for the Warrick process's use.
Notice in the summary file that the file names match the URLs of the resources. If using the Windows File Names options, special characters are not allowed in the recovered file names.
Warrick will continue to recover resources until the URL queue is empty or a maximum number of requests are made. Since the query limits are now controlled by Memento, it is the Warrick user's responsibility to monitor and throttle the recovery process for politeness purposes. When using Brass to perform the recovery, the politeness and throttling is handled on behalf of the user.
Note: Warrick cannot recover web pages that were never crawled and cached. Therefore pages that are not accessible to search engines (protected by robots.txt or passwords, pages residing in the deep web, or only accessable through Flash or JavaScript) are not accessible to Warrick. Also Warrick cannot reconstruct the server-side components or logic (CGI programs, scripts, databases, etc.) of a website. That means if the bar.php resource is recovered, it will be the client's version of the page, not the file with the PHP code inside.
Downloading
Warrick is available for download at the Warrick Google Code site.
NOTE: If you use Warrick to reconstruct a website that you have lost, please send me an email letting me know:
jbrunelle@cs.odu.edu
We are very interested in keeping a log of websites that have been recovered with Warrick for analysis and improvement purposes.
Warrick is licensed under the GNU General Public License. Warrick is under a lot of revision and will be updated periodically, so make sure you are always running the most recent version.
Installing
Unzip or untar the file in a directory, say c:\warrick or ~/warrick. You may then need to add warrick.pl to your path or just cd to the directory where you installed it.
Warrick has been tested on a Unix platform. A Windows version is in development. For a more automatic installation, please run the INSTALL file provided. It can be run from the command line with "sh ./INSTALL". To test the installation, run the TEST file as "sh ./TEST". This tester will try to recover a test page and make sure all of the constituent resources are present. Please note that it is possible that resources may change for this recovery. If you think this has happened, please contant Justin F. Brunelle at jbrunelle[AT]cs.odu.edu. If you prefer to perform a custom installation, or run into problems with the auto installer, pelase see below for software dependencies to be installed.
It was written in Perl, so you need Perl 5 installed. You may also need to install several Perl modules and the CPAN module if it's not already installed.
The following need to be installed:
curl
python
perl
HTML::TagParser
HTML::LinkExtractor
HTTP::Cookies
HTTP::Status
URI
HTTP::Date
Getopt::Long
Usage: warrick [OPTION]... [URL]
OPTIONS:
-dr | --date-recover=DATE Recover resource closest to given date (YYYY-MM-DD)
-d | --debug Turn on debugging output
-D | --target-directory=D Store recovered resources in directory D
-h | --help Display the help message
-E | --html-extension Save non-web formats as HTML
-ic | --ignore-case Make all URIs lower-case (may be useful when recovering files from Windows servers)
-i | --input-file=F Recover links listed in file F
-k | --convert-links Convert links to relative
-l | --limit-dir=L limit the depth of the recover to the provided directory depth L
-n | --number-download=N limit the number of resources recovered to N
-nv | --no-verbose Turn off verbose output (verbose is the default)
-nc | --no-clobber Don't download files already recovered
-xc | --no-cache Don't use cached timemaps in the recovery process
-o | --output-file=F Log all output to the file F
-nr | --non-recursive Don't download additional resources listed as links in the downloaded resources. Effectively downloads a single resource.
-V | --version Display information on this version of Warrick
-w | --wait=W Wait for W seconds between URLs being recovered.
-R | --resume=F Resume a previously started and suspended recovery job from file F
Recovering entire websites (recursive recovery) is the default Warrick operation. To limit the recovery to a single page, please use the -nr flag. Suppose the website foo.edu/~joe/ was suddenly lost. This is how to run Warrick to reconstruct the entire site using optional parameters -nv and -o (quotes around the URL are usually only neccessary when it contains the "&" character):
warrick.pl -nv -o warrick_log_foo.txt "http://foo.edu/~joe/"
-nv : Execute without verbose output
-o : Put all warrick output in a log file
A reconstruction summary file called foo.edu.joe_reconstruct_log.txt would be created listing the URLs that were recovered. Because Warrick could run for more than 24 hours, you may want to run it as a background process (adding a & to the end of the command in Linux/Unix). Also, you may want to break the recovery process into multiple sessions. For exampleK
warrick.pl -nv -o warrick_log_foo.txt -n 100 "http://foo.edu/~joe/"
-nv : Execute without verbose output
-o : Put all warrick output in a log file
-n : Limits the program to 100 recovered files
This will stop the recovery after 100 files and store the state of the recovery as [ProcessID]_[ServerName].save. To resume the recovery, you should use the -R flag:
warrick.pl -R [ProcessID]_[ServerName].save
-R : Resume recovery from the reference save file
If you want to run Warrick again on subsequent days to find additional files, you would use the "no clobber" option (-nc) so the files already recovered would not be downloaded again. The downloaded files would be re-processed and parsed for links to missing resources. This is how you might run Warrick using the no clobber option:
warrick.pl -D Joe_Recovery -nc -o warrick_log_foo.txt "http://foo.edu/~joe/"
This would store the recovery in the local directory Joe_Recovery
If you would like Warrick to ignore the case of the URLs it recovers, use the -ic (ignore-case) option. This is very useful when reconstructing websites that were housed on a Windows server. The Windows filesystem is case-insensitive, so the URL http://foo.org/bar and http://foo.org/BAR refer to the same resource on a Windows web server. Google may have this URL stored as one way and Yahoo another. Warrick will by default treat these as separate URLs although they really refer to the same resource. If the -ic option is used, Warrick will treat these URLs as one and the same. Example:
warrick.pl -nr -ic http://foo.edu/~joe/
To recover a resource at a specific date, use the -dr option and specify the begin and end dates (inclusive) in this format: yyyy-mm-dd separated by a colon. For example, to recover only resources archived closest to Feb 1, 2004
warrick.pl -dr 2004-02-01 http://www.cs.odu.edu/
Be careful when running Warrick: Some archives may monitor traffic to enforce politeness and crawling. Google monitors traffic through www.google.com, and if they suspect you are making automated requests, they will "blacklist" your IP address and will not respond to queries for as long as 12 hours. If Warrick detects that it has been blacklisted, it will sleep for 12 hours and then pick up where it left off. In my experiments, Google has detected me after about 100-150 requests. We cannot be held responsible if Google or any other archive blacklists your IP address.
Viewing Reconstructions
After reconstructing a website, you may want to view the files that were recovered in your browser. You can open the files directly into your browser or double-click on them to launch the default application associated with the files. The default application is normally determined by the file's extension. If the file extension is .html, the browser is usually the default application. If the extension is .gif, a graphics application may be the default application.
In order to navigate the reconstructed website from your hard drive by clicking on links, you will likely need to convert absolute URLs to relative ones and rename some of the files. For example, if you are viewing a web page that has a link to http://foo.org/index.php?nav=1, clicking on the link will cause the browser to load the URL, not the index.php?nav=1 file on your hard drive. To view the actual file, the absolute link will need to be converted to a relative one, and the file extension may also need to be changed. Warrick can do this for you. Please note that Warrick does not handle relative link conversion of anchor tags written by JavaScript or any other client-side code.
The -k option will convert all absolute URLs to relative URLs (without changing any file names). For example, the URL pointing to "http://foo.edu/~joe/car.html" will be converted to point to the car.html file you just recovered (e.g., "../car.html").
Note that -k will not cause your website to be reconstructed again... it is just changing the recovered files on your hard drive. It is a good idea to create a backup of all the files you have recovered before running this option just in case.
Make sure that you use the same starting URL that you used when you reconstructed your website since this information is used to find the reconstruction summary file.
Example:
warrick.pl -k http://foo.org/
Recovery Byproducts
This program creates several files that provide information or log data about the recovery. For a given recovery RECO_NAME, we will create a RECO_NAME_recoveryLog.out, PID_SERVERNAME.save, and logfile.o. These are created for every recovery job. RECO_NAME_recoveryLog.out is created in the home warrick directory, and contains a report of every URI recovered, the location of the recovered archived copy (the memento), and the location the file was saved to on the local machine in the following format: ORIGINAL URI => MEMENTO URI => LOCAL FILE Lines pre-pended with "FAILED" indicate a failed recovery of ORIGINAL URI PID_SERVERNAME.save is the saved status file. This file is stored in the recovery directory and contains the information for resuming a suspended recovery job as well as the stats for the recovery, such as the number of resources failed to be recovered, the number from different archives, etc. logfile.o is a temporary file that can be regarded as junk. It contains the headers for the last recovered resource.

"Simple, beautiful & ad-free."
Do you know ello.co? It's simple, beautiful and ad-free. Try it: https://ello.co/
And now, let me share ello.co's manifesto, because I like it very much and I agree: Every post you share, every friend you make and every link you follow is tracked, recorded and converted into data. Advertisers buy your data so they can show you more ads. You are the product that’s bought and sold.
We believe there is a better way. We believe in audacity. We believe in beauty, simplicity and transparency. We believe that the people who make things and the people who use them should be in partnership.

When people search about it, some of them think it's 'it's a tie' or even worse: 'its a tie'. The right one is 'it's the tie' and the domain is 'itsthetie.com'. The original title of the website is It's The Tie! - Comics and Stuff

It's a popular website now.

And more fun: My chocolate did not appear. What do I do now?
There are a number of reasons why your chocolate may not be in the fridge when you check.
Did someone else get there first and eat it?
Were there any warning messages during transmission?
Cellphone interference may case scaling errors, resulting in a very small - possibly microscopic - bar of chocolate. Check with a powerful magnifier or microscope.
The Inverse GPS™ scan may 'lock on' to the wrong device, in which case the chocolate might appear somewhere unexpected. Check all nearby fridges, freezers and washing machines.
Try switching the fridge off and then on again.
If all else fails, you can always retry the download.
