Stuff
Here are various links to other people's sites that I have
found interesting or useful. The links should all be up to
date but you know how the web is. It's a mess.
Search Engines
- Yahoo - Oh sure, everyone complains
about Yahoo, with its slow load time, ads and an overabundance of things not
actually related to searching, but we all keep going there. Of late, some
features of google that have broken are now working in yahoo.
- Alta Vista - I used to
use this site a lot. Now it no longer exists.
- Alta Vista
Translater (Bilden Sie Ihr web page auf vollig deutsch). The errors in
translation are often entertaining.
- Google - botnet and search engine,
combined. This site started off with
a nice
clean design but it seems like every month another button or picture is added.
Tsk tsk. They added two useful features a few years back: picture search and
show cached version of the page. Recently, these two features broke. More
interestingly, these two features have been added to yahoo, and there they
work!
- startpage.com - broken
- duck duck go - It claims
to be more private than google. Certainly better interface design.
- searX
- wiby dot me
- frog find - search engine. Better
than wibi and not as good as duck duck go but often finds things that
duckduckgo won't. Biggest complaint about this search engine is that the links
are not returned as http://somesite.com but as
http://frogfind.com/?stuff?=?/somesite.com
- yandex
- 100 alternative search engines
Amiga Sites
Link Pages
Povray Sites
Forth Links
Cartoons!
Music Sites
- Real Synthetic Audio
- The Ultimate Band List Despite the huge
amount of
animated banner ads
and a convoluted navigation scheme, this
site can lead to actual information on the band that you are looking for,
provided the band is popular and was formed after 1990 or before 1980.
- Cyber Age internet radio with shows
archived on the server. Good industrial/goth/techno/power-noise music. The
files are recorded at a lower audio quality than syncromesh but are much
longer. Go listen to the good music and the antics of Tommy T and Robot Tom
at KUNM.
- www.musicdsp.org - source code for
audio/music programmers
- www.magnatune.com - record label
with free legal downloads
- the.wubmachine.com - automated
remixing
- Mashups
- linux-sound.org - has not been
updated since 2007
- free and legal samples (not songs)
- www.ccmixter.org - creative
commons / freeware songs, including in many cases individual tracks (ie,
just the vocals, etc). Mashing/remixing/reusing is encouraged. There is
just one big problem with the site ... no downloads, only a "play" button.
- Pure House Music.net - House Music DJ Mixes
- mp3chief - a source of acapellas
Morrowind Sites
- www.forumplanet.com morrowind - USED to be good forums. Those swine
put in a login procedure that requires far too much personal information.
After creating an account anyway, I got a stupid message saying I could
not make an account with them because I already had one. Stoopid!
So to hell with them. You should go elsewhere for Morrowind forums.
- www.elderscrolls.com - main site
- http://www.tessource.net/files
- recovered Euro-Morrowind mods
- Some Fiction - stories
set in the Morrowind universe.
- Emma's Morrowind page - home
of White Wolf Of Lokken Mountain and her many other excellent plugins
- Emma's Forums - where
you can talk about her plugins
- Adult Game Mods - including
the Morrowind plugin Infernal
Rapture
- www.rpgplanet.com/morrowind/mods/mods_sql.asp - good mods but many broken links. Try to download some mods and you get this gamespy crap about having to register. Yup, that's a broken link.
- http://telesphoros.tesmods.net
- qwerts.mods.web1000.com - qwertys
plugins, including his famous 100, 500, and 1000 level dungeons!
- http://home.cinci.rr.com/jimadam/
- the web page of the author of GenMod. This is where you can find and
download the latest version of GenMod. GenMod randomly makes complete
dungeon interiors, including monsters, treasure, lights, and clutter.
-
list of free graphics programs. List is intended mostly for morrowind
modders.
- Petrells Morrowind Links
- http://andargor.xgamerhosting.com/ - The homepage of mGen,
a program used to make land masses
-
http://www.modder-united.de/home/modules/news/ -
The Modder. It was a site for plugins but now it seems to only
be a forum? Dunno. I'll leave the link here in case the site changes
back to a plugin site.

These are all sites that may, in some places,
contain some amount of (partial) nudity.

Unix-related Links
Misc. Sites
- Common word-usage
errors - if you are the sort that says "issue" when you mean "problem", you
need to go look at this site ... right now.
- Software Minimalism links

discussing matters related to making an operating system

overpopulation? You should be. Want to do something about it?

- Bores DSP info, a site with good solid
low-math common-sense introduction to Digital Signal Processing. I just wish
he would settle down a bit with the colors!
- Anonymizer.com, a site that
allows anonymous web browsing. They push a commercial service but you
can use their site for free, with a slight delay of a few seconds for each
access. Warning: if you enable cookies, they can still trace you back.
- John Savards web page
- textfiles
Retro computer-culture textfiles. On some computers that link appears as
broken, so try this instead. This
site is funny; lots of silly 3Le3t3 haxor jargon and a glimpse into the
sCeNe of the 1970s & early 80s.
- The Gutenberg project (Australia)
- The Gutenberg project (org)
- The High Energy Nuclear Weapons Archive - Everyone talks about about nukes but nobody really knows much about
them. Now you can actually get some information.

Foundation. One of the few groups actually doing something about the
increasing encroachment of your rights on the internet. Amongst other
goodies, they have the
Open Audio License.
- Collapse OS
- Tiny programs for windows - all small
enough to even fit on a floppy. The guy running it is weird: he thinks that
because you use free software you have to be a vegatarian. Ignore his fluff
and just focus on the meat (heheh) of the site: the links to the software.
- Chilling Effects aims to help
you understand the protections that the First Amendment and intellectual
property laws give to your online activities.

obvious originally.
- typogenerator.net - randomly created pics, sorta
- a semi random picture generator. Type text and it uses google to find pictures, then it colloges them.
- generatorblog.blogspot.com - blog of
sorts with links to websites that auto-generate things, usually using randomness. Alas, due
to bad html, many of the sites pointed to do not work. What do I mean bad-html?
Flash, shockwave, jav* are not html, thus they are bad html.
