I couldn't wait to see a guestbook again...

> Error The administrators or owner of this guestbook are not allowed to link the guestbook via HTTPS (SSL) unless they have a premium account. [...] NOTE: If you are still seeing this message after clicking the link above, then you are using a non-default setting or plugin that is causing HTTP links to be upgraded to HTTPS. This is not a standard way of surfing the web. Please change your settings or try with another browser. You will otherwise have problem accessing 20% of all websites.

Even the third-party dependency has a nostalgic feel, of some random person with a Perl CGI script running on a beige PC under their desk, who could just do their thing on the Internet, their own way.

I hate it when my browser ignores the protocol part of a link. Then again, gopher and ftp have already become broken in firefox, I guess it's only a matter of time before it's entirely unusable.
