Default Another way to use this... for time-limited downloads...

Here's another way to use the nopaste.net website...

Automated time-limited downloads...

Recently, Gordon mentioned Ben Suarez got his (successful) start with astrology ads...

Here's one of his astrology ads!

https://nopaste.net/EkZ1DIM6Mn

This, however, has been set to self-destruct in 3 DAYS...

(Hear the Mission Impossible theme? )

If you click on it within 3 days of me posting this, you will see the astrology ad...

After 3 days, however, the link will stop working, and it will just say "Not Found"...

It is just a demonstration of how this can work...

Best wishes,

Dien

After that time expires, the note disappears...

Why would you want to do this?

I find writing down notes is often useful before I write something...

However, I already write down a lot of notes... I don't want my "scribble notes" being mixed up with my "permanent notes"...

So, I've started using nopaste.net for those temporary notes I don't feel I need to keep...

The thing is, when you save a note on nopaste, you'll get a link to your note...

YOU HAVE TO SAVE THAT LINK

(Every time you save after you add more text, you get a new link... I have a special file in Google Docs where I copy and paste the link so I won't lose it...)

Now, some will think this whole thing is crazy... Though some others may "get it" the way I do, and think along similar lines...

If you think it will help, try using nopaste.net ...

It's also free...

Best wishes!

Dien

P.S. If you change your mind and decide you want to keep your note permanently, you can always copy and paste your note to either a text file, to Google Docs, email it to yourself, etc.

P.P.S. Right now I mainly use nopaste.net as a kind of thinking tool, where I organize my thoughts which may start out in a messy way, before giving everything more structure...
