Homepage updating season!

(As usual, kick me, etc.)

Nothing updated yet, but here are some links to start with:

• Autumn is reading time. Free E-books and comics. Complete works, not just teasers!
  • Colin the Owl is the latest ascii comic. I haven't read it yet, but people seem to like it.
    Here are some other, old ones:
    • Nerd Boy by Joaquim Gândara. Still updated regularly (ca three times a week) and posted to alt.ascii-art.
    • The Red Baron by Ool. The best ascii comic ever made!
    • The Adventures of the Boy with Immovable Hair by R.M. Weiner. It's old. It's horrible. It's an ascii classic.
    • Comics by Eurakarte. Read about The Funky Fuzzball and Planktonman.
    • Space Trek by David Palmer. I'm one of the characters in it!
    • (I probably missed some. Please remind me!)
  • Project Runeberg An online library with books in Swedish. Similar to Project Gutenberg. I found it while searching for Nils Holgerssons underbara resa genom Sverige for brojek who is learning Swedish. And here is the same book in English!  :-)
  • Somebody recommended that I read Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. I haven't, but I kept the link.
• Links for the bored
• A Unicode test page I found while trying to read a Polish address.
• Uncensored version and background story of that girl with hat picture.
• Text to Binary (and back!) Converter!
• Sex Partner Puzzle, an interesting use of statistics.
• ogrish.com (sort of like a dirty version of rotten.com)
• Stephen's Guide to the Logical Fallacies
• Tetris Tetris Tetris
• And finally, some Good Advice.

8 March

I've been playing games...

• Collapse (sort of the opposite of Tetris)
• Dropout (same as Collapse, only a different implementation)
• Flea Circus (if you enjoyed The Incredible Machine you'll like this). There is another site with this game. It has more levels, but I'm having trouble with it not responding as well as the first one (maybe something to do with java versions?)
• 3D Minesweeper (don't look at how things are positioned, you have to count the lines around each node to get this right)
• A small game.
• Gemdrop (another Tetris-like game)
