You.... in the back row. Stop laughing or leave the room!

Yah, it's pretty lame for a home page. No, it doesn't get updated much. But it's my default home page on my web browser, so when I find a new site worth looking at regularly, it gets changed. Usually. (Hey, it works.)


Nice to look at.

User Friendly

The day-to-day adventures of a small ISP with help from a curious but naïve dust-puppy and the mischievous AI it created.

Help Desk

The exploits of the famous Help Desk comic. Any resemblance to a certain well-known computer industry monopolist is entirely intentional.

PVP Online

Behind the scenes of a computer gaming magazine. Supposedly. The denizens residents get up to all sorts of ... mischief.

Penny Arcade

Gaming again, but from two enthusiasts' perspective. Enjoy their surreal life tales...

Dilbert!

Life in a big IT company's cubicles. With dog and other assorted characters.

Schlock Mercenary!

A mercenary crew of unlikely toughs, including a delightful amorph — Schlock of the title. Lotsa fun.

El Goonish Shive

Take high-school students, add cross-gender and furry transforming, including a most lovable squirrel-girl, and you have El Goonish Shive.

FreeFall

What do you get with you have a amoral alien, a robot trying to emulate him and a genetically engineered wolf-woman who does her best to do right by all? And they're on a newly terraformed world.

The WhiteBoard

The madcap adventures of a few fairly hardcore paintballers in Alaska somewhere. Oh, and they're animals. Like bears and foxes and suchlike.

TwoLumps

The adventures of Ebenezer and Snooch. It's hard to summarise the strip other than one cat's dumb and the other cat's not.

XKCDXKCD

This is line-art and stick-figures taken to new heights. Or depths.

The Order Of The Stick

Line-art and stick-figures again, but this time in a Dungeons & Dragon's setting! With colour.

The Devil's PantiesThe Devil's Panties

The life and adventures of some crazy chick as told in her webcomic.

Girl Genius OnlineGirl Genius Online

"Gaslamp"/"Steampunk" comedy adventure romance fantasy with mad science thrown in for good measure. It's just about impossible to describe in a few words.

NodwickNodwick

A henchman's life is never dull.

Commentary and blogs.

Slashdot.org

A quite irreverent newssite, sub-titled "News for Nerds. Stuff that Matters." Readers submit wierd and wonderful stuff, mostly computer related, and the web-master posts a summary, a link and a forum. Instant anarchy...

IWETHEY

An online community that I have been part of for some years. We departed from the magazine whose forums we had grown on (long story). Come on over and join in!

A Sweet Familiar Dissonance. Violins and Starships

I'm not quite sure why I follow this one. But it's nice.

Scripting News

Now here's a columnist with a difference. Possibly one of the original "bloggers", Dave Winer has successfully played in the software industry right where Microsoft are. He's often worth listening to.

Digg!Digg!

I've only just joined this one, so we'll see what it's like. A rough glance shows it to be a bit like SlashDot in that links are posted and a bit like Del.icio.us in that it records how many people post it...

My own blog...

Well I have to have one, too, don't I? :-)

Opera Software

The browser for the rest of us: fast and powerful.

Tom's Hardware

A well-respected and thorough PC hardware testing guide. Find out which motherboard lets you overclock your CPU or which 3D accelerator card is better (and why!).

L-Space Now!

A collection of information about Terry Pratchett's Discworld. Oook!

The Icon Programming Language

A general purpose language developed with the hindsight of other Markov languages and the intention of providing natural basic datatypes in the language natively. Which barely scratches the surface of what Icon is about! Have a look anyway...

The Unicon Programming Language

Arguably the successor to Icon, Unicon. Basically Icon with a lot of POSIX stuff, classes and objects, ODBC access and a sprinkling of other up-to-date stuff.
