Notes
Feedback to entity(AT)danny.id.au.
I have separate pages for news sources,
blogs,
static personal sites, and
book review
sites & sources.
You can support this blog by buying books
through Amazon.
I have a policy of not linking to pages that require subscription or any
kind of registration. I also try not to link to pages that have popups
or excessive advertising, but my web browser blocks most of that for me,
so I may not realise there's a problem. Please let me know of anything
really objectionable.
The format of this blog is based on that of Robot Wisdom - why reinvent
the wheel?
