What's new
The archive's changelog, old-web style: date, what happened, and on to the next. Newest on top.
Two big additions. The music room now has a real player — The Rocola: one hand-made YouTube player with a clickable playlist of ~95 tracks sorted into categories (anthems, day, night, mallsoft, dreamcore). And the archive is going bilingual: there's an EN/ES switch in the banner, and pages are being translated into English wing by wing. You're reading one of them.
Room 28: customization. The archive debuts its pixel-art icon pack — eight pieces (the two folders, the monolith, the eye, the cloud, the house, the balloon and the door) downloadable in .ico for Windows, .icns for Mac and multi-size .png for Linux, public domain. As a bonus, the 6-step liminal-desktop guide and the Python script that builds the icons, in case you want your own.
The archive grows to 27 rooms: the music room opens, The Channel (test card included), resources, icons & buttons, the board, the dream diary and the archivist's blog. Plus, a photographic expedition to Wikimedia Commons: five new photos in the gallery — including, at last, the night mall that was missing. Search closed. Full chronicle on the blog.
Complete rebuild of the site from scratch: same photos, new walls. Twenty pages organized in four wings (content, entertainment, community, the site), day/night theme, phosphor counter, Iris in its menu spot, and the background is once again what it always should have been: a real liminal photo with a colour veil on top. Sometimes you have to throw things out and dream them again.
- The back office: connecting the guestbook, the board, the diary and the counter to a real server, so dreamers can see each other. The code already exists (api/ folder); it just needs deploying. For now everything lives in your browser.
- The webring: looking for neighbouring sites to ring up with.
- The rest of the translation: more pages into English, wing by wing.
