Well, that list is just because I love computer history, text files, and lists. [1] I have written a toy IRC bot in Python [2] where you can run a 'hist' command [3] with a technology or programming language as argument and then it will answer with that line, if found. So while I think it is fun and cool, for actual usefulness and information retrieval any such systems will fail in competition with the WWW... It is just programming and lists for their own sake. But of course, feel free to do whatever with it :) [1] https://dataswamp.org/~incal/HYPERLIST [2] https://dataswamp.org/~incal/#bot [3] https://dataswamp.org/~incal/bot/scripts/hist -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 https://dataswamp.org/~incal
