Fixin the Internets

In 2001, I took a static snapshot of the UserLand discussion group, and turned the dynamic site off. Ever since, the URLs that pointed into the site were broken. Shit happens.

Well, PagePark makes scripted redirection so easy, I decided to make the URLs work again. Here's an example.

http://discuss.userland.com/msgReader$18647

Now it works again.

Fixin the Internets one bits at a time.

PS: This is what the config.json file for the discuss.userland.com folder looks like. Nerd-brag!
