Shadowrun Story Ideas

Once saw a specific bank of sample shadowrun adventures online, trying to find it again...
I think there were 100 sample adventures, all boiled down to a few paragraphs, and they all or most of them inverted tropes in the shadowrun mythos.
One involved a search for data that required you visit a retired corporate guy's house only to find all of his records were stored on paper in his basement.
I seem to recall a yellow background on the site, but I can't be sure.
(Hard to say which of these memories are accurate and which have been distorted by time. Any giant bank of weird sample shadowrun adventures might be nice.)

Best answer: Late reply, sorry. I seem to remember something like what you were looking for on Blackjack's Shadowrun page in the ancient history of the web. That site was also famous for Brumby, the Troll Philosopher. The page itself is gone, but it was found here. You should be able to get to it with archive.org, though that's not working for me right now for some odd reason.
I haven't thought about shadowrun for years. Have fun!

It's moments like this, when askmefi tracks down an exact webpage that no longer exists from a very vague description that I almost want to cry a little.
Here's the specific page, it includes some more robust ideas, some fleshed out adventures, then a list of 501 quick story prompts.
Thank you sir, you are my hero. Sorry for the really late acknowledgment.
