Your Disintegrating Digital Past

the details of my life are quite inconsequential

I keep lists of all my favorite artists so if my HD screws up I can search all the stuff again. Not perfect but that is the measures I'm comfortable with.

my film polls stills are wrecked bc of photobucket, which i won't be paying for.

ILX's Top 100 Films of the 2000s, screencaps version

hate to say it but google photos has been a bit of use to me in starting to build one useful archive of it all tbh

Done this myself. Pretty handy.

I had a sudden memory the other day of being in a place in a European city. Could not for the life of me work out where it might have been. It was a time when I had a very basic camera phone and took perhaps a handful of photos the whole time. I've tried streetview and doing a CSI on the one picture I took of a funnily-named cafe but I don't even know if that was the same city I'm thinking of.
These days I'd have way more of a digital record I could check against. I'm more distraught that whole chunks of my memory are disintegrating tho. Anyone else get a very random, vivid, long-forgotten memory pop into their head as you're falling asleep?

I still have my emails from 1997 or so onwards.
