Over the years, I’ve visited a lot of web sites, with impressive and useful stuff.
However, in 2016, moving our web site over to its new shiny design, I got a chance to update the links pages, which date from 2003, and were last fully overhauled in 2012.
As you’d expect, quite a few sites have fallen by the wayside – where they were particularly useful, I’ve tried to replace the links with ones to copies of the pages at archive.org
Some of the links here will fail – if you’re curious, please do visit archive.org, where you will be able to enter the URL and see if the site has been preserved.
With the new site, I’ll be expanding this list again…
