Links to other sites :-
This page is of links to other sites that I have found on the net that are favourites of mine. The only criteria I have used is that they have either been useful or have amused me.
I hadn't originally planned on doing a links page. When I first published this site I registered it with six major search engines - five months later, only one (UK Plus) is showing this site properly. Of the others I can't find this site on four of them and the other - if I type in Optical Illusions I get sites about Fibre Optics before my pages on Optical Illusions. If I'm having this sort of trouble then I'm sure other people are. Also, most of these sites were either recommended to me, I found them by accident or I followed links from other pages to them. These are the reasons this page was written.
The net has become very commercialised. One of the most annoying things about this is the number of pop-up ads that are now appearing. Even worse are those pop-ups that contain no title bar or won't let you right click and close them. To me they are self defeating as I won't use those sites at all. I feel so strongly about this that sites that use them aren't listed here.
Why have so many sites now decided to use frames? True, they can look "cool" but they completely mess up the site navigation. I'll settle for content over flashiness any day. One of my hosts, Lycos UK, in June 2003, started putting an ad frame on the pages, it completely messed up my bookmarks. The ads are supplied by Google. Whilst trying to find something about frames and bookmarks I found this on a Google help page "Google supports frames to the extent that it can. Frames tend to cause problems with search engines, bookmarks, emailing links and so on, because frames don't fit the conceptual model of the web (every page corresponds to a single URL)." The same search engine (Google) also found this "frames held together with hemp twine tied and glued in square knots" - but that's really an entry for a craft site.
You'll notice that some of the links, on this page and others, have asterisks by them. I use Xenu's Link Sleuth to search the site for broken links. Sometimes a site may not be available for technical reasons, like the server being down, so rather than remove the link straight away I'll mark it with an asterisk. I'll try and find the site if it has moved, but if a site is unavailable on subsequent times I check it, then I'll remove the link.
