Sadly whatever my old website was, it was not popular enough to make any archives. I feel like it was my first name, or some combination of my first and last name.

Same, my old Geocities site was not popular enough to be archived by these spiders. However, by chance I found it in the Internet archive. It was so cool to see my programming tutorials, and text about 3 or 4 games I developed (in TurboBasic and later C++ with DJGPP and Allegro) when I was 12 years old. Why did I decide to put a programming related page into SunsetStrip, I have no clue... although at that time my English was no that good and I had no clue of the cultural background of the "neighborhoods" so, they all seemed equal.

It might be that your website is also in the archive.

Is it possible you went with "giancarlo" instead of "giancarlos"? I don't mean to be silly but I see 232 files with giancarlo and only 1 with giancarlos.

No, Giancarlos is my first name and I have never used Giancarlo. Thats a good question nonetheless!

Couldn't find mine either. I had a Pantera fan site and a joke-tribute page to Victoria Bitter even though I never drank it.
