My first ever webpage, started in January 1994, is still online. It’s of a genre that was very popular in the early web, a list of cool links. Before search engines this kind of “home page” was the only way we could find things on the net. Now we have linkblogs and community sites.

I stopped maintaining this list in early 1997. I’m surprised how many links are useful and relevant but are still slightly obscure. Alas, many of the URIs have changed.
