I just published a review of Living for the Day After Tomorrow (a 2006 TV anime also known as Asatte no Hokou) on The New Leaf Journal. I had planned to simultaneously publish an article about how I first watched the show in June 2010 on Time Warner Cable’s Anime Network on Demand. I was able to pin down the exact week I started watching a 2006 anime in 2010 thanks to the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine. Unfortunately, the Internet Archive was targeted by hackers a few days ago with a pro-Hamas hacker group claiming responsibility (responsibility not confirmed, however). While I could have published my finished draft Anime Network on Demand article today (it is not as if I am expecting it to be a big visit-driver), I decided to hold off until the Internet Archive is fully back online.

RSS Feeds in the Wayback Machine
I read an interesting post that appeared on Hacker News page 1 about creating full text and full archive RSS feeds. One method in its toolbox is constructing feeds from Wayback Machine captures of the RSS feed. That idea never occurred to me. Out of curiosity, I looked at Wayback Archive captures of The New Leaf Journal’s main RSS feed. Our feed was captured for the first time on August 15, 2020 (notre I published our first article on April 27 of that year). Between then and now, it was captured 41 additional times, seemingly most consistently in 2022.
