Link Fiesta 2004

Fri, 29 Dec 2006.

Do you remember how I used to have those links posted in my blog? Well, I’ve saved them. Looking at the ones from 2004, a lot of them have disappeared and are no longer available. This is what we call “link rot”. The idea of “permalinks” was a good one but not really a sustainable one.

Here are the links from 2004 that still work and are worth re-reading.
