This post was published 3 years 8 months 21 days ago and as such probably does not reflect my current opinions, knowledge or ability.

Recently Problogger announced a group writing project encouraging bloggers to write a post on any topic, focussing on giving it a killer title. I’ve been looking through the list of entries so far, and I wanted to share some of the top computing related posts.

1. 5 Reasons You Should Use Plain Text To Save Your Data from Rarst. A short, but informative and convincing post on the benefits of using plain text to store your documents.
2. But Mom, You Guys Look at Porn Sites Too from Data-Drop. An amusing post on the importance of cleaning your cache and browser history.
3. Memo: Please Erase All Memories of Lost Memory from Tech Cult. Thoughts on the Britains current trend of regularly loosing our personal data.
4. Geek-Speak and Legaleze – Fess Up! from GrowMap. A portrayal of how inexperienced users feel about the technical terms open source users find commonplace, and the amount of legal jargon found on the web.
