The Archives are alive and well.  The part that is semi-broken still
is the search function.  I say semi-broken because there are two ways
that do still work:

1) Google: preface your search with: site:swingleydev.com">site:swingleydev.com and you'll
get hits from the Archive.  For example:

site:swingleydev.com shellac flooring

2) Use the undocumented new search tool but sticking your search terms
at the end of a URL that looks like this:

http://swingleydev.com/ot/sea
rch/[search words]/

For example:

http://swingleydev.com/ot/sea
rch/shellac flooring/

You can use spaces and you need to end the URL with a '/', but it does
work.  At some point I will connect this search path to a form and an
easier-to-use search function will be back.

Cheers,

Chris
