WWW sites I find useful
- [Another] Philip and Alex's
guide to web publishing
-
is a really nifty site, with all kinds of
information, on all different subjects, with "guides" on each subject.
- The Sun-sponsored www server at
sunsite.unc.edu Sun Stuff, Linux
stuff, lots o other "stuff".
- The X consortium, at www.x.org The place for free X software.
(including the stuff I wrote!) You'll want to use the ftp link, though.
- The
exploratorium in
San Francisco. A wonderful place to take the kids, if you would like
your children to experience a sense of wonder in science and nature.
- An engineer's retrospective on
venture capitalists
- Miscellaneous links that you probably won't
be interested in
For an overview of the world-wide-web(WWW) from its birthplace, take a look
around info.cern.ch
Or take a more technical view of the web, at
www.w3.org You can get the latest
technical specs on what HTML should conform to, as well as some cool
web-related tools. Here's a quick-ref link to the
HTML 3.2 spec
For historical "Mosaic" stuff, take a look at its home site.
This is/was the
"original www browser",
And yes Virginia, there really IS an RFC on nettiquette:
RFC 1855
Random link, because I want to remember this site:
Walt Disney's original plan for
EPCOT: Experimental Prototype Community of
Tomorrow
US state-by-state "no telemarketing offers to me" lists
Not all states have this available. But if yours does, sign up here to get
less annoying phone calls at home.
Ftp sites I like
[I haven't updated this list in a while. Oh well...]
sun ftp site
at sunsite.unc.edu. Note: accessing this site directly with the www
connection (above) allowed you to search for some types of material!
mac progs
(sumex-aim.stanford.edu)
mac mirrorsite
at ftp.uu.net:/systems/mac/info-mac
ftp.apple.com, Apple's own ftp site.
ftp.support.apple.com is far
more interesting. It actually has useful stuff. Like ThreadManager
and other goodies for system 7.0 Macs.
Sure is slow though. Likewise for
www.apple.com.
msdos games
(ftp.uwp.edu)
alternate msdos site
(msdos.archive.umich.edu)
US mirror site(s) for above
tcl stuff
(harbor.ecn.purdue.edu). Where to get source for the tcl programming language.
Free X software packages
at ftp.x.com
ftp.uu.net, site of almost everything!
ftp.cdrom.com, site of most everything else
West coast GNU mirror site
(gatekeeper.dec.com)
Simon Tathan is
a cool guy from me homeland, who has not only written a free
SSH-for-windoze doohickey, but has also written a lot more for the cleaner
side of computing
I feel dirty for putting in this link, but I had a tough time finding the
information. This is a
DOS batch
Language programming guide.
ALso,
another, possibly better
MSDOS batch guide
And if you're ever trying to patch together a universal DOS boot floppy,
you may want the
Universal (DOS) CDROM driver. You still need mscdex.exe though.
Looking for sshd on NT? It's now available, and
this page has
instructions on how to install it.
