I started off using Eudora Light as my free email client back in 1996, and now use Eudora in Sponsored mode. Recommended.
Google is a very good search engine, with an amazing strength to find items that are most relevant.
Nowadays I most often use this to find what I'm looking for. Highly recommended.
This is another really powerful search engine, and it gives very fast results. Recommended.
This search engine has quite a different slant. It organises search results into structured folders and by web-sites, and with the Northern Light Search Alert service, you could receive periodic updates of your requested searches. As of January 2002, when Northern Light was acquired by divine, inc., the Alert service is no longer free.
Another useful search engine with an uncluttered interface which promises to "Search with Authority". Recently acquired by Ask Jeeves.

Situated in the village of Ruthwell in Dumfriesshire, Scotland, this tiny museum traces the history of the Savings Bank movement from when the first such bank was founded by Rev. Henry Duncan, DD. I found several items of interest to me there in the course of my research on Robert Murray M'Cheyne.

Another interesting website about internet security, with a free utility program which can help you in the fight against email SPAM.
This contains lots of useful stuff to help would be web-site authors, including "The bare bones guide to HTML" by Kevin Werbach.
LinkSleuth is a free program which checks all the URLs on a web-site for broken links, and gives a well structured report. Very useful.
This is the place to go if you want to find old websites. It's a service which aims to change ephemera into artefacts as a proper record of our culture.
For example, you can view here the archived copies of earlier revisions of my own website.
This site is a must visit if you are interested in the academic debate about origins. Highly recommended.
I have purposely placed it here, rather than under my Christian links page, for sound academic reasons.
Featured Websites:
- Michael Behe. Articles and information regarding the noted Professor of Biochemistry and author of Darwin's Black Box.
- Phillip E. Johnson. UC Berkeley Professor of Law and author of Darwin On Trial and Reason in the Balance.
- William A Dembski. Author of The Design Inference, Intelligent Design and No Free Lunch.
This is the department on the main site of the Discovery Institute (based in Seattle) that deals with issues relating to science and culture, and includes some interesting articles on Christian apologetics. I came across this by following links from the Virtual Office of William Dembski.
One of my hobbies is recreational maths. This site specialises in fractal geometry. Free software is available to download.
The famous historical mathematical conundrum of Pierre de Fermat, who wrote in 1630, "I have discovered a truly remarkable proof which this margin is too small to contain." After baffling the world's leading mathematicians for over 360 years, it was finally solved by Andrew Wiles in 1994.
This is the University of Surrey Home page for the Fibonacci numbers. Everything you wanted to know about Phi and much more besides. These entertaining yet highly educational pages are posted by Dr Ron Knott.
This page by Andrew Cumming at Napier University describes one of the plane filling curves invented by mathematicians David Hilbert and Guiseppe Peano. These two links are examples from the MacTutor History of Mathematics archive. There is a superb Windows screen-saver based on the Hilbert curve available for download from this page.
Neil Ziring has posted a very useful introduction to the works of the famous Dutch graphic artist M.C.Escher who produced those amazing pictures consisting of tesselations of natural figures and depictions of unusual spaces and buildings. The site includes a brief biography of Escher as well as links to other Escher sites.
Someone gave me a plastic puzzle version of Pentominos when I was a child, and I've been fascinated with them ever since. Invented in 1953 by Solomon Golomb, they consist of the twelve different shaped pieces formed by joining together five squares. The original puzzle was a 6x10 rectangle. Gerard Putter's solver is a good introduction to the subject, and comprises a Java program with which to solve any polyomino puzzle.
By now you may have noticed my more than passing interest in geometrical patterns and puzzles. To stretch your mind in several directions at once, visit this excellent website at UC Irvine hosted by David Eppstein, and follow a diverse range of computational and recreational geometry pointers.

SPUC was launched in 1967 to campaign against the Abortion Act. As the first "right to life" lobbying and educational organisation established anywhere in the world, the Society defends the human rights of the child in the womb. It also campaigns against other threats to the right to live: especially euthanasia and human embryo experimentation. It promotes the welfare of unborn children and expectant mothers, and it challenges the promotion of abortion as a means of population control - especially in China and the developing world.
One of several good websites devoted to analysing the fraudulent claims of the many forms of complementary or alternative medicine. This is a well-researched and well-maintained site containing lots of useful information and links. There are surprising parallels and similarities between deceptions in the health world and those in the religious world.
I registered my personal details on this UK based site, whose purpose is to enable old school/college friends to regain contact with one another.
