it’s unix, not eunuchs

Long ago, when dial-ups were the norm unless you were on campus and ISPs set you up by giving you a CD that would load Netscape onto your computer with their particular settings, there was a website.  It helped me publish my first website which, embarrassingly enough, was a bunch of high school poetry.  It had these tutorials that would tell you how to load and set up some technology and then you could play around with that technology.  It was called Web Monkey and I knew about it because I was a serious Wired Magazine devotee.

A few years back, Wired decided that it was time for the Monkey to retire.  But something a little strange happened.  They retired it, but I could still get to their content, like their HTML Cheat Sheet.  So, I kept hoping and hoping that it would come back to life some day.

Well apparently the time has come.  In Wired Digital’s infinite wisdom they bought the rights back to the website and are going to bring it back as a Wiki.  I love Wiki’s and I love me some Web Monkey, so this is right up my alley.  Who knows, maybe I’ll actually start developing again instead of sitting on the sidelines and commenting.

Punch the Monkey to give it a shot:
