Web pages never die

In 2013, when I was working with HB Design, I had my personal website hosted on a company web server. That server that was used for hosting employee websites has long since been decommission, and between that and my retirement the HTML table generator web tool that I wrote disappeared.

Now with my new site up I found that the link to the table generator was broken. After looking through all of my backups and archive files, and not finding the code, I decided to try the Way Back Machine and I found the code. Which illustrates how hard it is to lose a web page on the internet.

I was able to copy the source code off the Way Back Machine and, with some simple edits to remove code that the Way Back Machine inserted into the archived page, was able to recreate the tool on this web site.
