Post by NoskosteveI regret that I, only now, 21 Feb 2014, heard of Maxim Shemanarev's passing back in November. I was looking him up to tell him I was including in my book, info on an algorithm of HIS that we discussed on c.g.a in 2003. It is on my site.

Comcast finally killed my site. Maxim's Algorithm can be found in the InterNet Archive (Wayback Machine) and hopefully on my new site....

This looks like the Oct 2 2015 capture:

Direct Archive links. These may take a few more seconds to load from tapes and may come from earlier crawls, but should be the latest versions:

The general way to see all captures of my site: https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://home.comcast.net/~k9dci/site/
The archive may or may not capture all of the individual documents of a site, but I got the above links from the Archive, so they should be there as long as the Archive exists.
