Lotsa Links
This page now protein-enriched, lemon-charged and flouride-boosted for faster download. (But as always, you are dependent on the phone lines between wherever you are and Timbuktu.)
Blah blah blah a statement from the author...
Okay, I capitulate. This page is just links. Not just any links mind you, but hand-selected links which meet my strict criteria (which you'll work out as you browse through).
Okay, I know this chapter is a cruel & bitter disappointment after the two previous chapters of wit and wisdom. I'll try, I really will, to add pithy and amusing comments, but really it's a case of so many links, so little time. The WWW is really a testament to the fact that there are a lot of wonderful wackos out there.
Having your own web page is just vanity publishing, but not a tree is felled for the paper, not a squid squeezed for the ink. The middleman is cut out and you can say what you like. And I like pointers to interesting places. Here goes:

This guy works (or worked) for Netscape. At first he seems pretentious (his job is described as "hacker") but there's some very good stuff here.So many links! So little time!
(but I'm about to dump some of these links for no better reason than I'm a bit bored with them. If you like 'em, bookmark 'em yourself.)
But hang on, let's take a break from the links for a moment . . .
Stories
A few years ago I used to write short stories. Like an awful lot of people, I thought I had the Great Australian Novel lurking somewhere inside me, but it needed time to brew and ferment. The mistake I made was not starting earlier.
I submitted various stories to various magazines with no success. That combined with my changing circumstances saw my spark sputter out.
But then, years later, I came across some of these stories, and that combined with access to an OCR scanner, persuades me to say: what's the use of vanity publishing if you don't do some vanity! So here's some vanity: it's a story called The Don Freeling Effect.
And another, Methodists & Catholics.
And Running away,
Still more later.
Happiness
Are you happy? Unless you're not happy you might not have thought much about it. And if you're not happy then you might not be in the best frame of mind to do much about it. Still, have a look at this transcript of an interview with an Oxford University psychologist.
Stone the crows, it's CHAPTER FOUR!!!
