“Vague memories, nothing but memories” is a technology blog by Mícheál Ó Foghlú. Perhaps it’s more of a history of my interest in blogging technology, over the past two decades (1999–2020), rather than a deep mine of useful content. Like many people I have switched my micro-blogging style activities to social media in the past decade.
The title is taken from the Irish poet and playwright, W.B. Yates, from the poem Broken Dreams.
