True! I still like my way, but feel free to code it like you wish, more nerdy stuff is always welcome. :)

    Thats pretty smart! I rem I did something like this with a notepad. Would love to see to future code!

    Looks cool! I created something similar a while ago, which allows you to store any kind of data in the url (web pages, audio, games,...). https://mkaandorp.github.io/hdd-of-babel/ https://mkaandorp.github.io/hdd-of-babel/

Storing data in the metadata reminds me of the $5000 compression challenge: https://www.patrickcraig.co.uk/other/compression.htm https://www.patrickcraig.co.uk/other/compression.htm

  This is a fascinating line of emails. I am somewhat astounded of how terribly Mike handled the sportsmanship side of things -- what was he threatening to sue over, anyways? Someone who successfully paid him $100 and had respectfully inquired for the prize? I do not handle people who act in such a volatile and aggressive manner well, especially if so spontaneously. I appreciate Patrick for having good sportsmanship, keeping the situation calm, not re-engaging, then publishing the exchange for everyone to see. I recently had an exchange like this where someone blew up at me in a very toxic manner over a text-based medium, and having the messages saved certainly helped from an accountability standpoint. Thank you again for sharing this anecdote, it was very interesting.

The increased CPU cost of that approach maybe outweighs the saved storage cost?
