[SEL] OT: but kinda cool... my site is being archived by the National Library of Australia

[Paul Pavlinovich]

Most of us who make our own web sites do so generally to massage our own 
egos while trying to provide a good information source to the wider 
community - I'm no different - I've really enjoyed the last 10 years of 
creating and maintaining content for www.steamengine.com.au

Today I found out the answer to the thought that had sometimes run 
through my mind... what will happen to my site when I'm gone, or if my 
arrangements with its generous server provider Paul Evans fall through 
one day... The National Library of Australia has approached me and 
advised that they want to archive my site as part of project Pandora 
where they are storing sites significant to Australian history and 
culture to make them available to future generations and they wanted my 
permission to do it - I've given them the go ahead although having my 
site there does dumbfound me a bit (only a bit, I found plenty of words 
to put in this message sitting here with a stupid grin on my face :).

Paul
