I shared a brief, playful update about browsing the Victoria's Secret website, jokingly suggesting I was up to no good. This post captures a casual moment of online distraction and link-sharing from my early blogging days.
I found a fascinating project called "The Secret Lives of Numbers," which used Google search results to catalog the frequency of every integer up to one million, visualizing numerical popularity and patterns across the web.
I discovered a resource for secret Yahoo Messenger emoticons. It provides the specific keyboard shortcuts and codes required to reveal undocumented hidden icons and smiley faces within the chat application's interface.
I challenged 700 students to a prompt-hacking competition where they defended and attacked secret codes. While defenses held 97% of the time, I found that creative storytelling and poetry attacks were surprisingly effective at bypassing LLM security.
This week I learned Ubuntu window-moving shortcuts, faster JSON pretty-printing with jq or jaq, that Copilot premium requests do not reset at 12 am UTC, and how Diffie–Hellman creates a shared secret.
I shared a link to a Kerala-specific chat room while playfully encouraging my friend Joseph to find a girl there. This post captures the casual, personal link-sharing style common in the early 2000s blogosphere.
