Links to things that I find interesting or valuable.

HTML Validator - Checks HTML and CSS for errors.

GifCam - An extremely simple screen recorder that lets you record gif animations.

SunVox - Simple yet powerful music synthesizer.

AIMP - A music player that is ostensibly a successor to Winamp.

MinGW - I HATE when I'm required to enable a maze of javascript chains just to download something that downloads a downloader that downloads an installer for the thing I wanted as a portable program. I REFUSE. This website has a link to someone's own build of MinGW that just works. If you didn't know, MinGW has a compiler for the C programming language for Windows.

Web backdoor

Videos

Preventing the Collapse of Civilization - A talk about technological decline and our inability to communicate deep knowledge to new generations of people.

Refterm - (programming) A video showcasing a terminal someone made. What makes this interesting is that a little known 100 billion dollar corporation called Microsoft was telling this guy that doing this is nigh-impossible, yet he did it in a weekend. It showcases the sad state of the modern software development/industry.

Immigration, World Poverty, Gumballs - Yay politics!

Misc Youtube channels

Not Just Bikes (invidous) - I'm not sure how to describe why this link is here. I like design and improving and inventing things, and Not Just Bikes is a bit like a city design channel. I do not think that everyone should live in an apartment though.

Misc
