2021-08-03 | Reading time: 2 minutes

I stopped thinking about unread books as anything negative. I almost all cases, I like the author or story idea enough to buy them. So why not consider it a gift/donation/feedback to the author?

Hmmm, I thought the YouTube Download Site y2mate.com was broken (got an out of business message), so I look for a working way to download YouTube Videos. Seems it works, but given that I found another way, here it is.

A short comment on Hogwarts and its appeal.

A comment for those seeking to use this site for personal gain: Given the increase in requests, let me be clear. I write on this blog because I want to. It’s my hobby, my playground. Sometimes people point me to interesting products/services and I write about them. But any request regarding ads or sponsored placements ends up the trash without a reply. And if you think something would be of interest, differentiate yourself from the spammers by referring to a posting — in an intelligent way. (I get enough auto-generated mails to identify them immediately.)

BTW, posts can get updated after I published them if I spot spelling errors (not a native speaker) or think a different wording might improve precision and clarity.
