Caution

The content of this page has been entirely machine-translated into English, from Italiano. Therefore, it might contain any kind of errors.

In addition to the “normal” version of the site, i.e. served by the official web addresses, the ctt site is available in the form of copies: archives and mirrors, online and offline. They can be useful for consulting the site if it goes down at some point, or for some reason you want to refer to a state frozen in the past.

Offline archives

Apart from the source code available, which can be archived and reused by anyone with the skills to regenerate the pages from their essential parts, the site is designed to be easily accessible to everyone without depending on my server.

Without the need for special tools (as there are to clone any website), you can download a pre-compiled copy of all the site files in a ZIP folder format, highly compatible with any system. Simply download one of the variations below, unpack the entire archive, and open index.html (or any other HTML file) with your browser to browse offline.

  • sitoctt-offline.zip: All pages and prerequisites (metadata, stylesheets, scripts, etc…)
  • [coming soon]: All pages, prerequisites, + multimedia assets (photo and video attachments, etc…)

Mirror Online

On the web there are some services that keep copies of pages or entire sites, more or less frequently, for research and preservation purposes; some types of libraries.

The ctt site is not excluded from the largest archive in the world, the Wayback Machine of the Internet Archive: its pages can be searched, by URL and date, from <http://web.archive.org/web/*/https ://sitoctt.octt.eu.org>. Specific pages are saved only when someone or something requests them from the service, so the availability of content may be limited.

There are also private or public archives around, which could also host copies of my site. I don’t know any of them, so I recommend exercising caution when consulting them, just in case some of them come up.

Anyone who wants to make a copy of the ctt site available on their own server can easily do so, without asking me explicit permission, according to the terms of the license; I only ask that it be made clear that these are copies (with banners or similar inserted on the pages), and that the so-called “canonical links” in the HTML pages are not altered (<link rel="canonical" ... />, tags used by search engines to determine the source of content).

Alternative Domains

These are not exactly copies in the sense I have described so far, but the site is also officially available from secondary domains and servers provided by me. The contents are exactly the same as the main domain, but there may be delays in updating them. …I should list them on some specific page, but for now it’s best to at least place them somewhere, here they are:
