Welcome to Link Central

A lot of my blog posts seem to be about links. I also have a habit of bookmarking pages on different computers and never finding them again, particularly as i am about to change login names at university for the second time. Plus, i just saw that someone else had a specific link blog, so i thought - why can't i do that? Then i did it. The links here are mainly for my own use, but no way am i going to complain if someone else stumbles across them and finds them useful.
