List o' Links (Recent additions)

A curated list of old-school, non-commercial, hand-made websites in the 90s vernacular. Survivors of the Web As It Once Was, and sites that preserve the spirit of it.

See the full List o' Links here. Now with tags and descriptions!

Here are the five most recent links:

Sniggle.net: The Culture Jammer's Encyclopedia
A unique and fascinating compendium formerly entitled "Trolls, Hoaxes, Culture Jamming, Poetic Terrorism, Media Hacks, Frauds, Impostors, Spoofs, Counterfeits, Fakes, Pranks, Scams, Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds", which should give you a pretty good idea of what you can expect to find here. Brought to you by David Gross.

The Unmutual: The Prisoner news website
Looking for information? Specifically, about the 1960s spy-fi TV show, "The Prisoner?" The Unmutual has you covered, with essays, articles, news, fan fiction, interviews, photos & art, and more! Just remember: questions are a burden to others. Answers are a prison for oneself.

MCbx Old Computer Collection
"Here you will find information about old computers, their parts and peripherals. The main objective of this site is to provide information not only about technical specifications of old computers, but also instructions to make an old computer running again as well as how to use the old computers (retrocomputing) and its basic software."

The ten most recent additions are available in a handy RSS format.

A few links have been removed since I started this project, see the List o' Broken Links for details.

Other People's Bookmark Lists, Etc.

• Low Tech Webring Directory
  "This webring is for homepages of people who are interested in low tech, small game tools, and other forms of Web 1.0 inspired creativity"
• Curlie
  The successor to/continuation of dmoz (see next entry) Curlie aspires to be the largest human-edited directory of the Web. It is run by volunteer editors.
• dmoz.org archive
  An archive of the well-known community-sourced hierarchical web directory. Begun (as GnuHoo) in 1998, it ceased operation in 2017 after some years of fairly minimal maintenance. Although many (most?) of the links are broken, you can still find some interesting things here.
• Marginalia - Search the Internet
  "This is an independent DIY search engine that focuses on non-commercial content, and attempts to show you sites you perhaps weren't aware of in favor of the sort of sites you probably already knew existed."
• datagubbe.se
  A bookmark list maintained by Carl Svensson: "Most of the links are to pages interesting to people who, like me, are fascinated by vintage computing and also probably a bit grumpy."
• JumpJet.info
  A wondrous collection of information relating to Emergency Preparedness, Radio, Internet protocols, gopher, software, games and links to offbeat and interesting sites. In operation since 1992.
• 404PageFound
  So, pretty much the same idea as my "List o' Links" here but begun twelve years earlier and with a much nicer gallery style presentation. Interestingly, a number of the sites are the same as the ones I've stumbled across while looking for links to add to my list. I'll keep updating the "List o' Links" though as 404PageFound does not seem to be actively maintained anymore.
