School #875 is back.
|
This just came
as a request:
The site is for
and about alumni of Moscow Specialized School of English Language No.
1 in Sokol'niki.

Well, I have no idea about the school itself. The page is back.
This is its new birthplace.
Originally we undertook a very large project which without our school support
we couldn't maintain. So after six months of struggling the site died. However,
there are some things that I would love to bring back to life.
The first thing that comes to mind -- the Guestbook.
Here's the new, pretty much plain (but working!) version.
Navigation will be the last thing to work on. So, if you think this is ugly...
I agree. But at least this works.
School History. Doesn't seem to be alive,
but what the heck? Maybe, one day...
Alumnae/i Listings. Here's how this
works. You click here and fill out a short form.
It goes into my mailbox. It sits there. Then I put it up. Now, if I start getting
lots of submissions, I'll have to optimize and automate the process.
A few other sections:
- General Information. "Our school is kind of slowly reacting
to our idea of creating this Home Page. They like the idea, but obviously
they have other more important things to do. We are still waiting for the
promised information, pictures, etc., etc., etc...
Please notice, that we do not live in Russia. Of course, the school is in
Russia, but it takes months to get any response from there. So far we have
done everything we could. The most important part for us is the list of ex-students
of our school, so we can reach each other.
Hopefully in the future we will be able to get our school to be more reliable.
"
- Events. "All we have for now is that out school is 25 years
old!" (Actually, probably 30 by now ;-)
- Credits. The original page was created by me, Mikhail Rabinovich
and Daniil Gromov. I killed the pictures and info.
- Links. You know, links are pain in a butt to maintain. Many become
outdated, sometimes people get nasty. So I've nixed the links section.
Here'a some history of the site itself:
- 1995, Winter . The idea is born.
- 1996. Work is being done. We've put everything we can, but our school doesn't
seem to be willing to help us. The project is slowly dying.
- 1999, Fall. Screw the school. I am pulling everything onto a new server.
Got a new guestbook running. ;-)
- 2000, April. All of the content is removed from the old site.
And of course I'll be adding new stuff whenever I have time to do so.
Vitaliy.
