Bloggus Caesari
Yesterday I tracked down one of the blogs I really enjoyed during the early days of blogging. The "Original Warblogger" blog done by Daragh Sankey, recreating letters from Caesar as blog posts from his military invasions.
01. Campaign against the Helvetii

I'm heading up to Geneva. One of the Gaul tribes is planning on cutting through Roman territory, in an attempt to go and fight some other tribe. I'm the governor of Gaul now, so I have to stop them... I'm caught a little off guard – there's only one legion up there, so I'm trying to raise some more at the same time.
Well, it looks like I might be away more than I'd like, so I decided to set up this blog. My friends in Rome can keep track of what I'm up to amongst the barbarians..

It went for over two years with posts intermittently and was one of the first (possibly the first) blogs which weren't just life updates and philosophical musings of real people actively going through what they blogged.
So yesterday I actually went and downloaded the full archive (which thankfully wasn't massive), storing it in Markdown for future perusal. One day. Maybe.

From the creator Gabe Schuyler:
Tired of "free" QR code generators that are full of ads and trackers, that share your data, and that want to sell you something? Me too. Here's my act of resistance: I made a one-page site that works entirely in your browser to generate a simple QR code. And that's all it does. You can download the HTML page and run it locally, even. Read the source; nothing up my sleeves. Just a QR code.
My offer to you -- I will continue to pay for the domain name and web hosting for it, myself. If you find it valuable, you can pay it back by creating your own useful thing for the world and releasing it for free. Let's take back the friendly web, one vexingly-monetized utility at a time!

I can't help but be in awe of the charisma that exudes from Ryan & Rob in Welcome to Wrexham
