This is a list of Web sites (excluding those already mentioned on
My Hobbies page) I've found on the net that I like
and return to the most. Whether they're funny, totally cool, well designed,
have lots of great information, or just plain weird, I put links here because I
think you'll enjoy these pages. Take a look and see if they get your stamp of
approval. If you have any sites you think I should check out, please
email me.
- Really Cool Sites and Pages
- Here's some links to pages that have great content. Some of these
pages use a lot of multimedia and may take a while to load), but the multimedia
content is added with a lot of class and with great design. Check them out!
- Humorous Pages
- Need a good laugh? Check out the web's sense of humor on these pages.
Get ready for lots of amusement and entertainment on these sites.
- Development Links
- Here's some links to sites and pages that helped me a lot as I
designed my web. Hope they help you out too!
Search Engine
- Deja News
- Simply put: It's the best "Source for Internet Discussion Groups"
I know of .
- Excite Search
- Excite uses their patented an ICE (Intelligent Concept Extraction) search
technology to access and search 50,000,000+ plus Web pages, 140,000+
pre-selected Web site listings, and 1000's of Usenet postings. Excite also
searches the Web for documents containing related concepts, not just the
keywords. If I input "dog care" as keywords then Excite will bring me
pages containing "pet grooming," even if the words "dog" and
"care" are not actually on the page. Two other features also will help
me make my searches precise. They are the Search Wizard and Power Search.
Repectively, one suggests terms that can help me narrow my search, and the other
allows me to perform an advanced search, without having to use Boolean.
- MetaCrawler
- MetaCrawler does not maintain any local database: it relies on the
databases of other Web-based sources. MetaCrawler starts by sending my queries
to a group of different Web search engines like Lycos, Infoseek, WebCrawler,
Excite, AltaVista, and Yahoo. Then, it queries the search engines, organizes
their combined results into a uniform format, ranks them by relevance, and
returns them to me. Naturally, MetaCrawler is slower than other engines.
However, it's more likely to obtain accurate results and saves me in overall
efforts.
Software
- Linux Documentation
Project (LDP)
- Linux is the free Unix written from scratch by Linus Torvalds and
assistances. It brings new spunk into my old 486 which would otherwise become
passé rather than venerable. The Linux Documentation Project (LDP)
offers good, reliable documentation and links for the Linux operating system.
- SLiRP: OFFICIAL HOME
- SLiRP is a free TCP/IP emulator over the (C)SLIP/PPP link-level protocols.
I'm using it in conjunction with my shell account and reaping the benefit of a
real (C)SLIP/PPP account. I observe no usage restriction nor performance
hindance using programs like Internet Explorer, Netscape, ICQ, ftp, telnet and
other internet clients from my home machine with only a shell account. My
initial motivation for using SLiRP was to save $$$. Since my primary ISP,
Telebyte Northwest now offers AYCE
(unlimited-time) SLIP/PPP the cost advantage for using SLiRP and a shell acount
has become neglectible. Nevertheless, I can still look forward to learning and
experimenting with the theories of TCP since SLiRP is basically the 4.4BSD
TCP/IP code in userland. It's source code is included for free. What's there
to lose?
Web Publishing
- My interest in Web publishing starts with the want of owning a homepage on
a shoestring budget.Places where I solicit improvement for my homepage are:
