Introduction
This is a snapshot of the bulk of the primary bookmark file I use with
Firefox. I strive to keep it up to date but regrettably, this is
about as possible as keeping up to date with all the free magazines
that come my way. With so many Web sites coming and going and
changing it is inevitable that some, if not many of the URLs here will
result in "404 missing" errors. I am resigned to this for individuals
on mom-and-pop ISPs. However, there really is no excuse when large
companies change their Web site organization and don't provide an easy
way to locate the replacement page for those that have disappeared.
Some do but many don't seem to care if you find them or not. What kind
of good business practice is that? Suppose your favorite store moved
in the middle of the night and didn't provide a forwarding address? Even the
U.S. Postal Service will forward your mail for several months. Out of
courtesy, Web sites should do this with Web site addresses as well.
Many do, but certainly not the majority! Perhaps I should add a "404 Hall
of Shame"!
But the best way for you to help is when you find dead links, use the
Feedback Form on the main ToC page to tell me about it! Then, I'll
either remove them or locate the replacement Web site(s). Simply whining
about how your valuable time has been wasted due to dead links is not
being constructive. :)
The file currently used here is a copy of the raw Firefox bookmarks.html
with embedded icons stripped out. It is simply inserted into the sambook.htm
wrapper. So, the actual HTML is a bit uglier than desired and there is no
table of contents but it's not much larger than necessary. Eventually I'll
have a script that beautifies it but for now, this is a much easier to keep
up to date as links come and go than what I used to do. Don't ask. :)
The bookmarks, below, are divided into major categories and sometimes further
sub-divided but not too deeply. I apologize for the organization (or relative
lack thereof). Maybe someday I will reformat this stuff using fancy HTML
tables and add meaningful descriptions of each entry. Then again, maybe pigs
will fly. :-) This version is pretty clean but I don't guarantee that for
the subsequent ones - I 'processed' it mostly by hand (well, OK, I did use
a computer!) with some help from GNU EMACS. What is really needed is a SED or
PERL script (or something) to do that automatically. I promise get to
that first thing after the pigs start flying. :)
