LINKS

This page, like all pages on the site, is an extreme WIP. I will post pages as I find them, or as I remember about them.

PROGRAMS

  • Anki - Efficient flashcards. Memorize anything.
  • Everything - A file search program. Way better than Windows' search.
  • Everything Is Going to Be Okay - A "desktop labyrinth of vignettes, poetry, strange fever dream games, and broken digital spaces."
  • GPlates - Have you ever wanted to use a clunky program designed for academics to try simulating plate tectonics? No? Well, now you can! There are Youtube tutorials.
  • WizTree - A disk analyzer. Really helpful for cleaning out your drives.

WEBPAGES

  • Consumer Aesthetics Research Institute - Archive of aesthetics.
  • Cuil Theory - You ask me for a hamburger.
  • Longest Joke in the World - I actually read it.
  • Malware Museum - Safely view retro computer viruses.
  • Marginalia - Search engine with a focus on academia and the indie web.
  • myNoise - Generated soundscapes. Good for meditation, sleeping, etc.
  • Old Games Download - Archive of old abandonware games.
  • Radiooooo - Musical time travel; Plays you random songs from a specific country and decade. Disappointingly, it doesn't include every combination. Still can be interesting.
  • Retroflix - Public domain movies, cartoons, and documentaries.
  • Sporistics - Trawl through the Sporepedia (the player creation database for the 2008 game Spore) quickly and easily. Includes features the official Sporepedia website lacks, like the 'Analysis' feature telling you exactly what parts were used. Sick
  • The Egg and the Rock - Weird science blog run by the guy who did the Minecraft end poem.

CODING RESOURCES

  • W3schools - Tutorials on how to do a lot of things in a lot of programming languages. Very helpful for web and software development.
  • sadgrl.online/webmastery
  • GifCities - GeoCities gif archive. Steal stuff for your Neocities.

MUSIC

  • JummBox - "An online tool for sketching and sharing chiptune melodies." Easy way to make music.
  • Freesound - Good place to find samples.
  • Musical Artifacts - Free soundfonts, among other things.

EDUCATIONAL

  • Bitburner - Essentially a cyberpunk incremental edutainment game. Learn Javascript by pretending you're a 90s hacker.
  • freeCodeCamp - Free online programming lessons. Starts out with basic web development tutorials.
  • Harvard CS50 - The entirety of Harvard University's Introduction to Computer Science course content, free on the internet. I prefer the 2024 lectures, but you can use 2025 just as well.
