If you like to read (like me), you can visit my limited collection of electronic texts or you can visit my favorite etext archive, Books On-Line. I will be the first to admit that this is not the same --and certainly not as good-- as a real book. However, etexts tend to be cheaper and more useful for some kinds of research. If, like me, you have a special interest in UCC or their corpus of Celtic texts , you can see them at their site (which I never knew existed while I was there). Another kind of reading you may enjoy (if, that is, you have a geekly dislike of Ba'al Gates ) is the Bill G diaries.
While
I
have
no
friends,
you
can
visit
one
of
my
"colleagues"
at
his
site.
I've
also
discovered
an
enthusiastic
young
man
from
the
Yukon
who
knows
far
more
HTML
than
I
did
at
his
age
(heh-heh-heh).
If
you
visit
him
and
sign
his
guestbook
he'll
send
you
a
"thank
you"
email.
I've
noticed,
though,
that
his
directory
is
now
empty.
I'm
keeping
the
link,
in
case
he
restores
his
page.
As
a
resident
of
TimesSquare,
he
had
much
advice
concerning
video
games.
Be
nice
to
him.
If
I
find
you
were
not,
I'll
come
after
you
--don't
think
I
won't.
I
take
back
what
I
said
about
no
friends;
I
do
have
one
or
two.
One
just
hates
HTML,
as
you
can
see
for
yourself.
I
feel
I
should
mention
that
his
page
has
looked
like
that
for
years,
and
will
probably
always
look
like
that
unless
I
rewrite
it
for
him
(yeah,
right).
And
behold
the
lovely
Fractious,
without
whom
the
world
may
end.
I
should
warn
you
that
even
though
she's
my
GeoNeighbor,
she's
Australian
(a
GeoNeighbour
--eew),
so
you're
likely
to
see
a
number
of
extraneous
vowels
littering
her
page.
I'm
holding
a
contest
to
see
who
can
write
her
the
best
song
of
praise.
Submit
it
to
demonstrate
your
skill.
Try
looking
through
her
Fractured
World
for
ideas.
My
favorite
of
her
pages
is
her
Awards
page,
but
her
love
advice
is
certainly
worth
the
time
to
read
it
--perhaps
even
to
follow
it.
All
in
all
it's
worth
spending
the
rest
of
your
life
poking
through
her
site
and
writing
her
email.
Finally,
here's
a
UN*X
guy
i
know.
He's
rather
quiet.
He's
like
me
in
that
he'd
rather
I
don't
tell
you
his
name,
so
I'll
just
call
him
powergeek.
Alas, my "brak sounds" source seems to have graduated from college and lost his homepage. An unrelated, but equally humorous site is The Onion, which my HTML-hating friend described as "pretty elite." Based on such a recommendation, how can you resist? I must add that the the funniest site I've seen so far is "jeffk.'s hoempaeg!!!"
If you have way too much time on your hands --and if you've read this far you probably do-- then you can waste time on Bob Fay's rather impressive Magic Trick. Look at it this way: if you don't, you'll just spend the time watching reruns of Married, With Children or Home Improvement. Should the decision still be too difficult, in tonight's episodes Al and Peg fight, then Tim hurts himself with power tools. Another great way to spend some time (as well as being a good reference page) is checking out the Patron Saints Index. The site's well done, easy to navigate, and uncluttered. Find out more about your namesake (even if you're not Christian you may still have a Christian name like "Mark" or "Barbara" because of Christian influence in western civilization), the patron saint of your profession (bricklayer? telecommunications worker? thief?), or just take some bite-sized chunks of history.
Someday when I feel like sharing, I will give you more Old English/Old Norse links like this one to some school on the East Coast. First, though, I must decide you people are worth it.
Someone mentioned that I have no music on my page. This, of course, is entirely true. I found it difficult to express music in HTML. I still do.
EXCURSIS: I hate pages with music-playing plug-ins. NOT EVERYONE CAN HEAR THEM, FOOLS! I especially hate the ones that load the music automatically.Because, however, people have asked about music, I'll include some of my thoughts on music. I find that lately the music I prefer falls into two categories: "fun and energetic" (what I listen to at work) and "thoughtful" (at home). I did not notice until recently that that's what has been happening. It rather makes sense, if you consider it from the right angle. At work I can't really think, but need music that keeps my mood and energy more or less consistent. At home I have to use the part of my brain I neglect while at work. One of the bands I like is the Wicked Tinkers. Try to figure out which category they are.
Of course, no links page is complete without at least one link to lots of porn.
I suppose it's about time I offered a link to a girl with more "fox" pseudonymns than any one person can hope to remember including, but not limited to, "digifox," "jenn fox," and "foxy spice." WARNING: her site uses tons and tons of javascript.
Here

already.
