Links from here to there
What is a WWW homepage without a few links to totaly unrelated places? Nothing!

Therefore, let me present to you: The Unrelated Link Section.

Oddities I have collected or converted

  • Dikter av Karin Boye. In swedish only. I had a period when I found Karin Boye very fashinating. I still think that Kallocain is much better than 1984 by George Orwell. :-)

  • Saint Seiya. This is a novel written by seawasp@vm2.cis.pitt.edu, I just converted it to HTML because it seemed fun to convert it from plain text to HTML. Who knows, someone might enjoy reading it.

  • Caffeine. A review of different soft drinks containing caffeine, written as if it was a test of software products. From Dr. Dobbs, I think. I found it floating around in News somewhere.

  • Another novel, this time about a (newly born) vampire. Written by Christian O'Malley, obviously using concepts from the Vampire Cronicles by Anne Rice. This one is converted from HTML to readable HTML (introducing the concept of space between paragraphs.)

  • Yet another story stored from the net. I am quite paranoid when it comes to the dissapearance of pages on WWW, therefore I tend to copy them. Well now, this is a story about Delirium, from Sandman. If you have not read any of the Sandman albums, you probably should. If nothing else, you will learn quite a lot of mythology.

    This story is written by Karawynn Long, and has never been published. It has a story of it's own, which you should read before the actual story.

  • Feel like taking The hacker test? I score in at 213.

  • I have a few Tori Amos movies here as well. They are not exactly small, though, so don't bother if you use a modem. They will not shrink if you ask me to mail them to you either. People tend to want that, for some reason. That's a 120Mb mail, unencoded. Some 160 if I send it as base64.

  • If you want to know what the members of Lysator do in their free time, here is some text written by them (in Swedish) from LysKOM: Flippade Förbindelser. You probably know this sort of text: One person starts writing something, then end it hanging in the air, and another person continues. Cooperative writing, or whatever it should be called.
Oddities I find fun
Useful stuff
This is things I use daily. I know you probably do to, but what the heck. Let's put a few more links on this page..
  • Infoseek. I find this to be the most useful search engine on the net. If you don't, feel free to use another one. I especially like the automatic narrowing of searches.

  • Since I tend to write quite a lot of code that genereates JavaScript (I still think Live Script was a much better name), I often find the Javascript Guide useful.

  • I often search for lyrics to songs I digitalize and put in our Jukebox. the WWW Music Database is the most useful place I have seen so far for finding lyrics to songs by groups like Dreadful Shadows and Type O Negative.

  • I also sometimes want to write some forms, and since I always forget if it is called type=button or type=box or whatever, I read the form reference at The Web Developers's Virtual Library quite often.
