Do people nowadays still write personal blogs? Or more importantly, do people still read personal blogs? Apparently my blog does have visitors? Thank you my loyal readers, since I rarely write, I have collected here a few other blogs from people with similar interests for you to enjoy.
This is a list of personal blogs of people from the Indonesian Informatics Olympiad Team (TOKI). They are people who participated in the Indonesian National Olympiads and the Indonesian IOI Training Camp. I myself am from TOKI 2015 (the year 2015 is the year I graduated from high school, and the batch is usually called by “TOKI [year]”).
Only the first three blogs listed here have recent articles, while the rest are mostly dead. Those three happen to be some of my closest friends as well; I guess “similar” people do come across naturally.
