- IMPORTANT -
This site is a Cache!

Please note that this site is NOT the live version. It is a part of my portfolio, and is a locally saved cache of the site at a certain point in time. It is not dynamic (as many of my live sites are) and you may therefore find missing pages and/or functionality. It also may be wildly out of date with the real (live) site, and so you should take any of the information contained within with all due caution.

What is a cached site?
A cached site is a saved archive of the site. You can think of it as a snapshot taken at a party - it is a representation of a single moment in time. Your party snapshot doesn't move, and can't show you the whole scene (eg: what's behind the camera) or what happened after the photo was taken, but it's great for showing people what that moment was like. Many of you may be familier with the "Cached" link on Google search results, which works in the same basic way.

Why do you have a cached version of this site on your server?
Most likely it's because I designed and/or wrote the software for the site you are viewing. I keep cached versions of them for my virtual portfolio. The cache snapshot is taken when I finish working on it and is therefore a more accurate display of my efforts (vs. those who later maintain the site). It also ensures I have a record of my work in case the site is later removed from the net.

Where is the actual site?
If you are looking for the real version of this site, or the organization depicted in this site, please visit my portfolio - in it you'll find links to both this cached version as well as the live version.

What's with these weird filenames?
Many of my sites are dynamically generated from code and database queries. Since it's not practical to copy and maintain those systems locally, I spider the live site to produce the static (non-dynamic) cache. My spidering software renames and re-links files in order to simulate as many of those dynamic features as possible. Hence the weird file names.

How do you do that cool thing with the red frame at the top?
I wrote a script called Framed! that automatically parses html files and adds a user configurable "functionally invisible" frame. It is fully backward (non-frames) compatibility and properly handes sub-frames to avoid infinite recursion and other nasty things. There's a lot more information on it here.

Enjoy your trip through memory lane :-)

Sincerely,
Travis Richardson
