A Year of Links; An Awful Way to Store Them!...?
For the past year or so, I have been sending myself messages via my matrix server (contact me via matrix).
These are some of the links and what they contain. I hope they are some inspiration for anyone reading. These are also a little taste into the type of 'things' I am interested in.
I also redacted any sort of notes that were non-links. A bunch of movies, shows, books, pictures, GitHub Issues and hand drawn notes were amongst the findings.
Other interesting finds, are a picture of Chloe as a puppy and a video of family karaoke time.
