It is not my imagination, Eurekster and the swicki universe have both returned. Here it is confirmed in a blog.

I think there could have been more information about this. Maybe it is a high level of PR theory at work, when there is a problem say nothing, just be upbeat about something else.

the last week has made me realise what an excellent thing a Swicki is. I managed to find quite a lot on the wayback machine but from a few years ago. There is nothing from this year yet, normally a reasonable policy but not in an emergency.

So I am now busy with the Swicki Disaster Recovery Procedure, archiving results pages to PDF. More later when this is completed.
