What error are you seeing? I'm seeing the same page in the archive as on the live site.
Don't worry, it's probably just the ol' HN hug o' death.

If you reload it you'll get a periodic 503. It's not consistent.
I can see occassionally "503 Service Temporarily Unavailable" errors too. Also DMR's picture is "broken". Maybe the server is temporarily overloaded by the number of visits caused by this post. After all, it's an archived homepage and likely not running on the most performant webserver.

#15A number of academics seem to have very simple HTML pages like this one. See Knuth's page for example. Most of the Comp Sci professors at my school had pages like this also.
Only thing I don't like about reading them on a modern wide monitor is that the lines get too long. A bit of CSS to set a max width and a margin and they'd be near-perfect.
Fortunately there's reader mode.

#16Obligatory HN details:
- No CSS on the page
- No JS on the page
- Gif for image
- Static site hosted using Nginx and plain old /www folder
- For some reason, reasonably responsive on mobile
Did I miss anything ? Oh yea, superfast page load.

#18I see no mention of family beyond siblings. Was he not married/in a relationship? I realize some people don't want that, but it's always made me sad even so.
