I figured that after all of this time with me messing around on the net, it is time for me to highlight the coolest pages that I frequent on the net. These following links are essentially my little place to stick all of the corporte stuff that most people stuff onto their main page. Because of that their page is cluttered and very un-elegant in my eyes. This seems to be a much more appropiate way to do this. Anyway, here are the links:
Computer Stuff |
|
  |
Sun is in my mind one of the best hardware/software vendors out there for UNIX. They make very stable and very nice systems. Out of the commerical UNIXes that I use, this one is by far my favorite. Of course I may be a little biased, as I work for them now... |
 |
Solaris Central. Good site to keep up with news/rumors about Sun and Solaris. |
 |
Slashdot.org is my main source of news. I have no clue about those other things the traditional media hypes about. Here is the source of the news that I care about. And once ya visit if you are into tech, you'll be hooked. |
  |
Debian GNU/Linux is by far my #1 choice in Linux Distributions. Mainly it stems from the completeness of packages and the elegance in which the packages take care of dependancies and upgrades. I've used 3 versions of Debian thus far and have been able to easily upgrade from one version to the next without the headaches of the RedHat upgrade. |
 |
Since I like Debian sooo much, it helps to keep up on news on Debian. This is probabally the best site for that, next to Debian.org itself. |
 |
When you think of a secure distribution of any UNIX or unix-like OS, you think of OpenBSD. Four years without a remote hole in the default install sounds like enough reason to trust it. |
 |
RedHat Software, the maker of what I used to consider the best linux distribution. It's my recommendation for newbies to linux to start with, but if you know unix/linux, then head straight for Debian and do not pass go.... :-) |
 |
The more I use their database, the more I tend to like it. It's even better now since they support Linux... :) |
 |
Another site that I've found myself visiting quite a bit. Guess it's 'cause it's "nothing but UNIX." |
 |
I've found myself going here quite often to pick up news that for some reason slashdot never puts on their front page. I think it has to deal with the size of the audience and amount of submissions. Slashdot is burdened with both, so stuff shows up here usually before (if ever) on Slashdot. (Unfortunatley the site maintainer has taken it down--it may come back--so I'll just keep this link here) |
 |
I need to put a link to freshmeat on this page. It's rare that I need to go here, due to running Debian, but there are always times I need to quickly find some open source project that deals with Y. |
Comics |
|
 |
User Friendly: the comic strip is one of those cool comics. I think it's a matter of time before it catches on in the newspapers and becomes bigger than Dilbert. Click on the icon and you'll be taken to the latest strip. |
My favorite comic strip of all time. Calvin reminds me of me in some ways, mostly in our endless bounds on our imaginations. Way to go Bill Watterson!
Joe the Circle is an interesting comic, if nothing else it's been fueling
my own little comic that I've been drawing in meetings at work. Maybe
one of these days when I get the characters all sorted out in my mind and
draw characters that look unique, then I might just publish it. Only
problem with this strip is that it's only published once a week if that.
But then it's nice to know that the artist has some sembalance of a life.
Yet another comic strip that I found that is based on being a geek.
Must be something about my life that I tend to read stuff like this.
If nothing else I just need to learn to draw a bit, and then start my own
comic.
 |
Segfault.Org a nice place to read bashing of micro$oft and other computer related spoof news. |
 |
Another geeky comic strip, pretty good for an additional laugh before reading UserFriendly. |
 |
Well here's a link to Dilbert. Overall a good comic and great representation on most consultants and business in general. |
Music |
|
 |
I've placed a link here to CDNOW. I've bought several things from them over the last few years. I've managed to get stuff from there that I couldn't find at Record Collector's conventions, Media Play, or other Record/CD shops in Toledo, or the Cincinnati area. |
 |
This has quickly become one of my favorite groups. It all started when I borrowed one of my roommate's NIN CD's, it was the single Head Like A Hole. From that one it grew on me, then I went to a used CD shop and picked up Pretty Hate Machine, and since then I've been hooked, as of this moment I nearly have the entire NIN collection. (I removed this link to the left--as it didn't go to Trent's domain anymore...when I find an appropiate link it will be back) |
Misc Stuff |
|
| BOFH
Server |
You never, know, you might encounter a situation in which you need a computer related excuse--no matter how far-fetched. Well, this is the site for you! :) |
 |
I'll be honest, I don't visit this site much. But when I do it's an interesting read. |
