Stuff I Use
Initially put this together after seeing Jarrod’s and Robb’s lists, and eventually discovered there was a whole list of other people who did something similar. I copied the initial headings from defaults.rknight.me and made do with the ones I wanted to note down, and added some of my own. 😄
Some of the links here may be referral links! I’ll just mark them accordingly if there’s anything special about them.
I eventually want to spiffy this up while getting some inspiration from these blogs: Jason Burk’s
