notes.husk.org. scribblings by Paul Mison.

I’ve been trying to post a couple of entries on notes.husk.org this morning, and (as often happens) getting distracted. One thing that came up was a link to an Alice Rawsthorn piece in the IHT, but when visiting it, I got this unhelpful message.

It turns out, as the paidConnent story makes clear, that the New York Times, which owns the International Herald-Tribune, has just closed the site and rebranded it as its own. I could live with that (although the IHT design was much cleaner), but killing over five years of archives (including popular stories like these) is pretty unforgivable in my book.

To be charitable, I’ll hope this is a temporary issue, and that soon the archives will be back. If they’re not, though, I’ll be pretty upset with the Gray Lady.
