leyton.org

If you visit the front page of leyton.org you’ll see that there are a few sections, most of which are reasonably self-explanatory. Techie stuff, Diary postings, book reviews and so forth. It’s intended as an overview of what’s on the site.

The del.icio.us links perhaps require a bit more explaining. They’re simply “interesting links” I’ve encountered whilst browsing about. They’re updated behind the scenes, and I have some special bookmarks set-up here on my iMac to “publish” a link straight onto the website. It gets interesting in that it’s “social bookmarking”, which means you can find out how many other people are linking to the page, what they think of it, and the tags they use (see here for more). From that you can find other similar pages, or just something a bit different. As far as my links go, I’d advise a small amount of caution, as I don’t put any text with them and what I find amusing or interesting might not fit with what you feel is such.

Some recent ones include:

• Why do you stay up late?, an interesting rendition of a poem.
• Hannibal Lecter: Transhumanist icon. An interesting read analysing the character of Hannibal Lecter in the Thomas Harris books and movies. Interesting.
• The System Administrator song. If you wondered what I do for a living, well, it’s not quite this, but near enough. No, not sing. Stop sniggering at the back there!
• On the Moon Ep.1. Hello, I am the Toast King, and I rule over the moon.
• The Schmidt Sting Pain Index “Bald-faced hornet: Rich, hearty, slightly crunchy”.
• David Lynch reads the weather. It’s David Lynch. Reading the weather. You’d never have guessed if I hadn’t told you.
• Cute or what?.

I’m going to put together a few other ‘overview/highlights’ pages in the next few days - mainly as I’m settling in to a whole new work routine and finding it difficult to put together posts as often as I’d like, and this is a quick and easy way of posting something that I hope is of interest!

It also struck me that as there are now over four years of posts here (time flies!), it’d be fun to have a look back over some of them in the next few weeks (here’s my first, if you’re interested) and have a ponder over whether my opinions or interests have changed, or if the website I link to is still there…
