Owing to the mess the links page was becoming, I decided to separate the links according to genre, but then this is quite difficult... in the end, I ended up putting pages into categories according to "what I initially went to the page for"; so for example, if I went to a site looking for some program, and later visited the site 'for fun', I'd still put the page under the 'programs' category... (just confusing myself, I think...:P)
I marked the pages that are (I think) Japanese only with a (J).

A Donate-For-Free site. The way this works is that when a web user clicks on one of the buttons on the site, a sponsor enterprise will donate to a specified Non-Profit Organization. Although the donation amount is usually 1yen (approx. 1cent or 0.5pence), I believe that these small efforts can add up to make a significant difference. If you have the time, please "generate a donation" and make a difference. |
Freeware and other stuff related to website creation:
| (J) Located here is the TTTEditor--I use this text-based html editor very frequently to edit this page. |
| (J) Here's where I found LOGO!, a program I use to create banners, buttons, etc. ...well, from the title it's probably supposed to be used to create logos, but its pretty usable for many output forms. The site itself is quite fun as well. |
| (J)I use the Web Diary Maker found here for the daily page (J). |
| (J) Website containing the Daifuku chat that I use for my chat page. |
| (J) Mint Club; I've rented my BBS from this site. |
| (J) From here, I've rented and customized my Java "drop-game". |
 | Anfy--provides some good Java Applets; shareware which is very close to freeware... |
| Photo Site | This is the place from where I borrowed therainbow picture used in the front page. Great pics! I recommend the nature pics area. |
|
(J) Auto Logo--this is where I got some useful wallpapers, buttons, banners, etc. You can make something like this as well: 
|
| (J) Not only does this site have numerous JavaScripts, it also goes through them in such a way that if you want, you can learn how to work in JavaScript by studying the given examples. |
| (J) A general site that addresses a pretty wide range of topics on making a webpage, as usage of JavaScript, HTML syntax, and hints on what not to do on a page... |
| The Javascript Source--a good resource for free JavaScripts |
Freeware etc.:
| Winamp homepage--Winamp is a widely used freeware player (for sound et al). (I use v.2.91) |
| IrfanView is one of the few remaining freeware programs that can be used for all sorts of picture formats, including gif. |
| (J) Pleiades Company (originally Makioya)--Great site overall; lots of things that are fun to read, do... well, the contents are (mostly) Japanese only... but the freeware games are great! (This one is a (partially) English version for IE5.0+ : press the download button at the center of page that opens, put the .exe in some new folder, double-click the .exe file, then find install.exe in the same folder and double-click it. Then open start.htm and click the first button that appears. Start is option 1.) |

| (J) Found here is Ozawa-Ken, a freeware typing practicing program with great graphics; some text is Japanese, but the program's doable even if you don't know any Japanese. There're other good freeware things here as well. BTW, that banner was my high score (of which the world record is S+15 I think) |
| Found here is Trillian--a program that allows you to run multiple chat clients in one window and program. (Both free- and share-ware versions available) |
| (J) HSP is a freeware, script-based program creator, and it is quite easy to use for creating simple self-standing programs, etc. |
| Messer=MEmo Session Sound Recorder: this is a freeware sound recording program that also does scheduled recording, on-the-fly mp3 conversion (requires plugin), and more. Its development has been stopped, but the program should still work...don't forget to adjust volume level for your system to avoid clipping of recorded sounds. |
| Anvil Studio is a free MIDI (and some other types') editor that I use. |
 | (J?) A freeware Go playing program, gnuGo, and gGo, one of the visual user interface that supports it. |
|
SSHQ Subspace.net | Subspace--a great online game, action (and strategic), with small (ca.1cmx1cm) spaceships flying around and fighting. SubSpaceHQ and Subspace.net are two of the many Subspace-related sites. (the latter is still partly under construction.) |
| Another related site is the TrenchWars Site; Trench Wars is one of the largest zones in SS. |
| University of Virginia's E-Book Library | University of Virginia's E-Book Library--a great resource for 'free' e-books for the MS Reader |
Others:
| Roman's Home page; Check out this page for some nice mini-programs; here are links to the 3D graphics site,the Greeners Screensaver site, and the Ultimate PTE site. | ||
| (J) This is a page containing short stories and some talks of varying topics. I met the webmaster of this site in a certain chat room, and have had the pleasure to talk with the webmaster many times over MSN messenger since then. | ||
| (J) Website created by Nyannkorori, who was (excluding myself and people around me) one of the first people to write something in my BBS; the site's recently opened, but it has a higher counter value than here;; I look forward to its development. | ||
| Hmmm, after partitioning, I see that the sites that I brouse without a specific purpose are a minority; well, let me just say that I happen to find good pages upon looking for something else... |
If the webmaster(s) of any of the above sites say so, I will remove the relevant link as soon as possible if it may be causing some problems, so please contact me if there are any problems with any of the links above. Any new links (preferably reciprocal links) will be greatly welcomed; please use the auto-link service at the top, or mail me. Though I'd prefer to know who links to me, and would prefer links to point to the index page, I would say that this site can generally be linked to freely. (but please, no direct links to zip files.) A separate banners page is available for a range of banners for this site.
