Link round-up

• Five Years and One Week of Less Wrong: I first ran into the idea of reading history backwards through Emacs' ANTINEWS. It was an interesting perspective that made me realize that everything new says stuff about the past.
• Grant Rettke: Creation and conservation of computer files (C3F): Yay literate Emacs configuration files.
• 12 Rules for Learning Foreign Languages in Record Time — The Only Post You’ll Ever Need: Neat tips. Should pick up Japanese again so that I can read all these Emacs-related tweets.
• Going Paperless Quick Tip: Append to Existing Notes in Evernote via Email: I didn't know you could do that. Neat. =)
• Creating a Retirement Backup Plan: Technology has been criticized as an ageist field. That's one of the reasons why I want to learn how to build my own stuff. That way, I might have more possibilities later on.
