I've received several notifications over the past few weeks about dead URLs on my website. Notably, from places where I have linked my own articles, such as in my Best of 2003 roundup. All the links in that article died suddenly, because I'd migrated my blog software from one system to another. Given the date on that post, I'd guess I migrated from pyBlosxom to blosxonomy back then.

Anyway, I'm making an effort to resurrect those dead URL's using some apache re-write rules. Specifically, all the links on my Best of 2003 now work again.

Note to web site maintainers: it's important to pick a URL scheme, and be consistent... it will bite you in the butt later.
