Bookmark dumping ground:
- The Interactive Fiction development community, like most well-intentioned Internet communities, has many interested projects, some with better follow-thru than others. IFLibrary.org is now quite down, which is a shame. But the IF Theory Book is still up and has an active glossary wiki. The IF Art Gallery is up, but hasn't had a new "exhibit" since 2001.
- In my quest for a Windows X server (of which there are several), I of course tried the completely free Cygwin package, which also provides ports of many *nix commands to Windows. I eventually settled on Hummingbird Exceed, which I was only able to afford through eBay.
- Views of Earth from various satelites.
- GameSpot's feature article on the making of Black & White, while old, is still worth a read.
- Several times this year I've tried to research available web message board software packages. I decided upon phpBB for the NaNoWriMo website, and while I've found (and fixed) many bugs in the software, I don't regret the decision to use and heavily modify this well-intentioned Open Source solution. I'll use it again. After making my decision, I forgot about all the others, so I can't offer evaluations of vBulletin, extrememessageboard, IkonBoard, Discus, or ezboard. I seem to recall other boards either suck, or are expensive, or both. See also the dmoz category for message board software.
- A review of the GT Force steering wheel for the PlayStation2, with special compatability for Gran Turismo 3. I intended to blog more about the PS2 after L surprised me with one for Christmas last year, but even by then the PS2 was old news, and I didn't have anything interesting to say about it. I continue to enjoy having it, though. :)
- Modern Humorist's Playstation 2 FAQ. A bit of a trip back in time, but still funny.
- IGN's Top 25 PlayStation (1) Games of All Time.
- GameFAQs has FAQs for computer/console games. They are now blocking deep linking, so I can't post the Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 FAQ I had bookmarked a long time ago. But it's there.
- PSX Nation, PlayStation news and such.
