Here are some friends with their respective homepages, some of them are soon to be moved or not quite up-to-date, so don't expect too much… (by the way, these links are in no particular order, so please my dear friends, do not feel offended!)

• Conor McBride's Homepage in Edinburgh where he no longer lives, he has moved to Durham
• Carsten's homepage in Edinburgh, although he is also no longer here, he has moved to Birmingham where there is only, as far as I know, this page…
• The very nice homepage of Bruce McAdam, one of the few actually Scottish people I happen to know because Edinburgh (and Edinburgh University in particular) is such a darn international place… :-)
• Martins galore: Martin Lange and Martin Wehr are a couple of very nice people who share the same first name, so I put them together in this list item… ;-) Both also have rather nice pictures of themselves on their homepages which I have to say, but mine is better, taken actually by the next guy:
• Andreas' homepage in Passau, his quite similar (but outdated) homepage in Edinburgh, have a look at it…
• Markus' homepage in Konstanz, it is rather basic, but he has been a good friend over a long time, so I thought he deserves to be on this list anyway.

Hmm, it seems that I don't have that many friends after all, but only such friends who have homepages. So maybe this is actually a good sign rather than a bad one… :-)

At first I was tempted to simply put all my bookmarks in here, but that's kind of dull, isn't it? So I decided to yet again put an unordered list of links here, together with some comments that you may or may not find useful…

• The best search engine of all, ladies and gentlemen, I give you Google; if you want to find something on the web, try this one first before spending hours of time waiting until Altavista et al. come up with links completely unrelated to what you were searching for…
• If you are, like myself, a child of the 80s and grew up with those "home computers" like the Commodore C64, then here is a Search Engine for C64 Games together with a link to Vice, a C64 emulator for many platforms… If Vice does not work for you, why don't you try out Google and search for a C64 emulator?
• Search Engines for Computer Science purposes can be found here: Hypatia which contains a lot, by which I mean a real lot of papers on theoretical computer science; CS Bibliographies Online where you can easily search for articles and automatically obtain BiBTeX output which you can then use in your own papers…
• Software archives, mostly for UNIX derivates: LEO in Germany, a list of TeX packages, XEmacs related things, resources on HTML, there is also a nice introduction & lookup document called SelfHTML can be found at http://www.teamone.de/selfhtml/selfhtml.htm which was kindly pointed out to me by one of the Martin's, namely the "long" one…
• Dictionaries: There is one at LEO for English to German and vice versa, a Computing Dictionary for more technical terms, or a a general one.
• Information on what's going on the world around you in the form of online editions of several newspapers can be found here: Spiegel, Süddeutsche Zeitung, The Scotsman, or The Times.
• Travel Information, like DB Fahrplanauskunft, USIT FareFinder for finding cheap student flights, if you have an ISIC card.
• Misc. inquiries, like currency conversion, Royal Mail, BT Phonebook, German city maps, and of course there is Yahoo.
