Broken Links to PDF Files

At some point before the summer, I decided to move all documents and images from the repo for this website over to Gist. It might have broken some links, though, so if you notice any, please tell me.

One of the potential issues issues when using GitHub as a file storage system is that every commit contains info about all of the previous files. This can cause a lot of bloat, especially when having lots of images. A way to get around this is to use Gists to host the files as they have their own commit history.

The other issue is that repos for GitHub pages must be public. This makes it very easy to clone or download the repo and rip all pictures directly from there. Gists are somewhere between a private and a public repo. Only the owner of the Gist has direct access to all the files at once, but each individual file has a link associated that can be used to either share or embed the files. This also makes it harder to do a mass rip of all the files or images in the website at once, as people doing so would have to download each separately.

If you were linking to anything in my website and this update broke links on your side, reach out to me and I can send you the updated links. These new links should be permalinks unless GitHub changes the way that Gists work.
