Welcome to the Links Page                           

Note: Any Obnoxious Commentary ™  courtesy of the fact that I spend way too much of my life doing this for clients who pay way too much money then won't listen to the obvious. Here, I can say whatever the hell I want. And, while there's still nobody listening, at least I can say it freely.

Fanfic, Gotta Have It                                          

The Pink Rabbit Consortium -- Daring is housed here, plus they have a great archive with a little bit of everything (including the best Stargate femslash on the web), and if I get any hits, it's probably only because they're linking to me. Loads pretty quick in general, but it's also the only site that doesn't tick me off when things slow down, because the art and stories here are worth the wait.

A Slayer, A Hacker, True Friendship and Love -- The original Buffy/Willow archive, and even though Buffy has seriously annoyed me this year, I still think this pairing is too cute for words.

The Stephen Ratliff MiSTing Archive -- Literally the funniest MiSTies I have ever seen. There's nothing slashy in sight, but you have got to read this stuff.

Lust Bunnies Ahead                                          

TerylRothery.com -- So, can you tell I think this woman is seriously cute? What can I say, I like 'em short with brown eyes. And as a real plus, her site's easily navigated and loads quickly (which is a bit unusual on actor sites).

AmandaTapping.com -- And just to prove tall and blond has its good points too. Okay, I have to admit, I can't decide if I like the multiple browser entry page, but that's only because my clients are idiots and wouldn't know which button to push. However, I give the site full marks for loading quickly though, and being easy to navigate. Could do without the teal, but that's just a personal lack of affection for the color.

Cathy Rogers -- And the funny part is that I don't actually usually go for blue-eyed blondes, though that's hard to tell by this list. She's the hostess with the mostest (and also the executive producer) at Junkyard Wars (Scrapheap Challenge in the UK), and solid proof that smart and funny is sexy as hell.

EdenRiegel.com -- Actually, I have to be honest, and admit, I have no lust bunnies for Eden (way too young for my personal tastes), but I gotta say, I'm enjoying her work when I catch AMC. The kid can act, and she's done a really wonderful job playing a gay teen as a complete character rather than simply an afterschool special lesson for the viewers. Now, if they'd just give her a girlfriend who could live longer than six weeks. Hopefully, at some point, she'll even have a website that isn't housed on her old college account.

GAWS -- The Official Gillian Anderson Web Site -- Gotta love any women who can outrace a guy a foot taller than she is while wearing high heels. Seriously, Scully is the goddess of sci fi chicks, and as a plus, the site loads quick and is logically laid out, which is a good thing because on my version, the buttons are illegible.

Honest to God Interesting Sites Without Sex               

The Brick Testament -- Biblical passages done in Lego ... yes, Lego. This site is damned addictive, and it's also making a liar of me because there's sex here. Lego sex. I may never be the same.

Cat Claws -- These people make the best cat toys in the universe, period, end discussion.

Forthright's Phrontistery -- A dictionary of obscure words and word lists. Want to impress and confuse your friends with your incredible language of obscure and unknown words, this is the place for you. Wander and learn.

JREF -- The James Randi Educational Foundation -- The Amazing Randi is a skeptical debunker, and his site is utterly fascinating (love the columns and message board). Don't agree with everything they have to say, but the place will make you think.

Lesbian Pirates: Anne Bonny and Mary Read -- Interesting bit of history on this famous duo.

The Psychic Chicken Network -- Ask the chicken a question. I dare you. For the chicken knows all and sees all and can answer many questions about your future in a rude and humorous fashion. Check out the haunted house too.

Cool Computer Stuff                                                   

AVG AntiVirus -- So far it's caught everything that I get daily in my inbox (clearly, I need to hang out with a better grade of sleazeballs). Seriously, it's caught any number of things that McAfee and Symantec both missed. Plus, it's free, and it's not a system hog. Please get it so you can avoid being one of the people I curse for not having virus protection. How do I know they don't? Cos they send me infected email, that's how.

Home PC Firewall Guide -- Everything you ever wanted to know about protecting yourself from hackers. If you're on a modem, not a bad idea. If you're on DSL or any other "always on" connection, an absolute necessity. Includes a security test for your computer.

Mozilla -- Netscape's newest incarnation as an open-source web browser is remarkably good already, and it's not technically even in release yet. Yes, there are bugs (it's a beta), but it's free, and doesn't seem to crash nearly as often as Netscape or IE.

Opera -- Another very good alternative to Netscape and IE. It's fast, cusomizable, comes in free (ad supported) and pay versions, and in Java and Java free versions.

Sygate Personal Firewall -- A pretty good little free personal firewall that's easy to use and doesn't hog your system resources.

ZDNet's Shareware Library -- If you're looking to try out shareware, this is the place to find it. Just type in a keyword and go.
