A screenshot of NCAR's Java METAR viewer running in Internet Explorer 6. A line-drawing map of North America centered on the US is shown, populated with real-time weather observation data. A caption at the bottom of the map shows that the data is current as of March 24, 2026 at 0845 UTC.

I've taken a crack at preserving #NCAR 's Java METAR viewer, which is miraculously still up-and-running after all these years. Some reverse engineering of how it ingests data is probably still needed.

I've always been media packrat. I keep updating artlung.com/archive/ with more detail. Spanning 30 years from 1990s web to the current #RetroWeb rebirth makes me like a 1950s rock-n-roller who lived to see the Stray Cats rock this town in the 1980s. #GoMakeAWebPage #IndieWeb

A screenshot of the UK Department of Transport website as it appeared in 1997. The page features a minimalist, retro design with a light blue and white colour scheme. At the top left, a stylised logo depicting a road or runway sits beside the text "THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORT". A narrow navigation column on the right-hand side lists various categories such as "Aviation", "Marine", "Rail", "Road Network", and "Road Safety". In the centre of the page, an instruction reads: "Click on an item on the right hand panel to access further information". The bottom of the screen displays five colourful icons for "What's New", "Search", "Press Releases", "Administration", and "Links".

A screenshot of the London Transport homepage from around 1996. The page has a red left sidebar with the roundel logo and links for Home, What's new, Site map, Search, and Contacts. In the centre, there's a blue silhouette of London landmarks including St Paul's Cathedral, Tower Bridge, Big Ben, a red double-decker Routemaster bus, and a Tube train. The main heading reads 'Welcome to the London Transport home page' in red cursive font, followed by a request to fill out a feedback questionnaire. Below are links to sections like LT museum, FAQs, press centre, and charters & strategy, shown as blue dots on a line. At the bottom are MSN 'Pick of the Day' and Yell's Top 10 badges, plus a note that the site is designed to be viewed using Netscape 1.2 or above, with Netscape Now and Microsoft Internet Explorer logos.

Who remembers the #London #Transport website in 1996? 🚏🚌🚇⦵ 🖥️

"Best viewed in Netscape!" 😁

Netscape Navigator 2.0 for Windows 3.1 displaying the home page of my retro web server. A blue stripe below the toolbar and a gold key icon in the lower-left corner indicate that SSL encryption is active.

WSGopher 1.2 for Windows 3.1 displaying the home directory and intro article from my Gopher server. The server name "geryon.n8fq.org" is shown in ASCII art at the top of the directory listing.

One of my ongoing #RetroComputing projects is maintaining a vintage #RetroWeb / #GopherProtocol server based on OpenBSD 3.0.

Web (clear): http://geryon.n8fq.org
Web (modern SSL): https://geryon.n8fq.org
Web (vintage SSL): https://geryon.n8fq.org:30443
Gopher: gopher://geryon.n8fq.org

I decided to rename my #RetroWeb / #GopherProtocol server from lucifer.n8fq.org to geryon.n8fq.org, in keeping with my emerging theme of naming computers after Nethack characters.

Latest rabbit hole/nerdsnipe: #RetroWeb Java applets

There's been a lot of effort to preserve things like Flash and GIFs, but has anyone tried to put together an archive of Java applets? Several web and archive.org searches have come up empty. I did find reference to one book from 1997 that […]

Screenshot of Internet Explorer 6 running on Windows NT 4, showing the Java METAR viewer applet on the NCAR website. Weather reports from several airports are plotted on a map of North America centered on the US. A line of text at the bottom of the map shows that the most recent data shown is from June 13, 2025 at 15:25 UTC.

Awhile back, I posted about the NSF National Center for Atomspheric Research's beautifully #RetroWeb #USwx site. On a hunch, I decided to see if their old Java METAR viewer was still up, despite the link to it having been removed.

...IT'S STILL THERE! AND IT […]

Notes on using 86Box for server virtualization Most people use 86Box to emulate vintage gaming PCs, but it's good for servers too!

I wrote some notes on using #86Box for #RetroComputing server virtualization. It includes info on using VDE for bridged networking and some tips for time sync and running headless. Maybe worth a read? :System7:

It even has an old-fashioned guestbook! It's written in PHP 4.0 and probably isn't Unicode-safe. :AllTheThings:
