Notes
Some of the articles were originally .mp3 recordings. I was only able to recover the files for 2 out of 14 such posts in that year. So, if you come across a very short post that just says Dr. Dobb’s “spoke” or “interviewed” someone, it is probably one of the 12 articles where the recording was lost.
I created an initial list of files to download by grabbing the article listings’ HTML and using an “Extract href from HTML” to get individual pages. I downloaded the files from the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine using HTTRack (to convert the pages for “local” browsing). By the way, the Wayback Machine has some interesting operators that I used for this project (like if_). They were processed with Excel & Notepad++ for various purposes, like removing <script> tags. Then, I used this “bulk search and replace” tool for switching external article URLs to ones that are local to this site.
