I wrote a little blog post in tribute to why, "Nobody Knows Why": http://www.sfcgeorge.co.uk/posts/2013/04/19/nobody-knows-why
The post also links to an updated PDF compendium of all _why's recent documents. All rotated and in the correct order (maybe). Bursting with _whyness.
How did you find out which github account hosted the site?
If I had to find the repo, I'd use code search. It's pretty handy.
I found it by searching for "DESOLEE"
GitHub's search or Google's search? I was only able to find it using Google and "site:github.com DESOLEE"
github's. You have to click to search code on the left, but then it is the first result. https://github.com/search?q=desolee&ref=cmdform&type...
Any idea on what the erased bit on DESOLEE is after the end? Looks very clearly like something was written there, but I can't make it out.. something about 'three' or maybe 'there'.
See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5017921 - still not sure, but might help you out
