Links

Dedicated to things not necessarily directly about being gay. I have, after all, a large section of other interests in life. At the moment it is fairly bare - not because I have few interests! It's because I'm trying to get the basic thrust of these pages back up and running. Once I have that complete I'll be able to add more links below.

Linux

Linux is the free Unix operating sytem that is taking the world by storm.

• The Linux Organisation Homepage: A good set of links to many of the Linux projects and supporters around the world.
• Slashdot: One of the best, most up-to-date technology news and links pages on the internet. Not just Linux related, but Linux is definately a popular theme!

Computer Companies

Apart from being a total Open Source believer, I do still like a few computer companies out there. Among them are:

• Sun Microsystems manufactures some of the best servers on the planet, and while they're still not getting completely behind Open Source, Linux et al they are making some inroads. Besides, they enjoy beating up on Microsoft when they get a chance so they have to be OK!
• Transmeta have introduced a revolutionary CPU called Crusoe. It seems very interesting, and I can't wait to see a working PC based on it.
• Apple have made a huge comeback since bringing Steve Jobs back to the helm. They have revolutionised the computer industry as well, transforming computers to being something that goes into a computer room or out of the way to being an appliance that you'd be happy to have in your lounge-room.

News Services

• ABC Online News Services is updated very regularly based on TV and Radio broadcasts made by Australia's National Broadcaster. If you want to find out about something important going on or just keep in track with the news, you'll want to go here from time to time each day.
• Sydney Morning Herald Online is the online version of the 6 day per week newspaper. The SMH is one of the few papers left in Australia that shows any sign of journalistic independance.
• BBC News online is comparable to the quality of information offered by ABC Online but with the quantity of that offered by CNN. Worthwhile for a visit.

Other Links

• Cluetrain is a site for an upcoming book about the power of the internet to change society and change commercialism. Given my dislike for economic rationalism, this site has really hit a chord with me.
