I’ve been thinking a lot about link rot lately, and how many of the links I have shared on my blog over the years are now dead. I also have a lot of old posts that are missing titles, categories, and tags. Therefore I’ve taken a cue from Terence Eden and I’ve started a project to “tend to my digital garden” every day. I installed the On This Day plugin, and now I have an archive page that shows all the posts from this day across all the years of this site. Every day I’m going to do my best to click through those posts, checking for broken links and updating them as best I can. I’ve already had to resort to the Internet Archive several times, but here’s one bit of good news – the Sydney Morning Herald still maintains links going back 20+ years! That was a happy surprise.
Important Note
This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.
