andrewduckerI was chatting to a couple of friends last week, and realised that I really fancied having one of those "bar chart race" videos for my links, showing what had been the most popular links over the last 21 years that I've been saving links (to Delicious, and then Pinboard).
So I downloaded the JSON blob of my whole link history, used some PowerShell to slice and dice it into a CSV, and uploaded it to a site that converts a bunch of data with dates into a bar chart race. And voila:
Unsurprising to see "Europe" break the top 20 in 2017. Followed a year later by "OhForFucksSake".
Both files available here, for the very curious.

Date: 2026-03-09 10:29 am (UTC)Oh yeah. I wasn't reposting the links from the start, they were just a fun way of collecting things I might want to find again. Looks like I started cross-posting the links to Livejournal in May 2008 (and then switched over to Dreamwidth when I moved here).
Facebook seem to have made it hard to know when I joined, but my earliest profile pic dates from 2007.
