October 26, 2009 - Geocities dies!

Yahoo is killing off Geocities, effective October 26, 2009. That's actually a bit of a stay of execution, since it was believed Geocities would get the axe sometime during the summer, perhaps by the end of this month.

In the meantime, Patria's web pages are still available, though of course will not be updated further. They can also be viewed on the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine.

Where Patria will go web-wise will be decided early in the Fourth Session, when the 48th Congress re-convenes in September. Don't bet the farm on seeing Patria's old pages hosted on pop-up filled spyware-spawning Angelfire or Tripod, assuming those Clinton-era free hosting services are going to be around for much longer after the demise of Geocities.
