Software (Security) > Steady State >

A steady state-type program. Discards unwanted user changes at log off or reboot and has easy application-blocking.
I was exploring security on Windows XP and wanted a state-freezing system, so I can make dangerous changes and easily roll back. I purchased Clean Slate, played with it, was unimpressed and abandoned it. I don’t know what’s changed since those days, but this is a very complex and powerful program and I bet I could have put it to better use.

YouTube >
I was sick and tired of screwing around with Firefox and multiple tabs, extensions and scripts for the Greasemonkey extension. I decided to research a proper way to bulk-download YouTube videos in a very simple way.

Commodore 64 + Music > Commodore SID >
All information should be free from restriction and immortal, and this applies to music; the one thing which any everyday person is most enthusiastic about. We want to find and share it. But most importantly, we want to keep it alive .
Imagine finding your favourite artist and your favourite song. Then imagine it being lost, unavailable.. forever. The song itself may become a vague memory in time, but there will always be that sadness in you. With regular software or other media there is the occasional archivist who will collect and catalog things.
With music, everyone becomes an archivist .

As useful as Google spell checking is, it doesn’t measure up to the value the Wayback Machine has had for me.
I love the Wayback Machine. I want it to have my babies.
Ok, I’ll admit it. I really like system archaeology.
It’s like some strange combination of a system administrator, grey hat cracker, security expert, information archivist, hacker, propeller-hat role. I don’t know how to explain it.
And I’ve been doing it on my own system.
For years.

Note that “digital folklore” (native web culture, etc) is not related.
I’ve gone through a couple of primary browsers across a couple of different operating systems and operating system versions.
What’s even more unfortunate is that I’ve had multiple backups where there were different changes to different versions of things. Fortunately I’ve been semi-active on keeping my links lists up-to-date, otherwise I might have bookmarks from 1998 in Neoplanet from back in my 16-bit Windows days.
