Here is a short list of websites that I've found to be good resources for information about interests I have such as BBSing or ham radio. I hope you will be able to find these useful. These sites are listed in no particular order under their respective headings. If you click on a link from here and find that the website is down or the information isn't there that you're looking for, please contact me and let me know so I can remove the link from this page. Thanks!
BBS Links | Ham Radio Links | General Links
»BBSES.info: A unique BBS-oriented website that offers legal torrents of BBS-related files as well as a lot of information about BBSing in general. The website also hosts its own active IRC network.
»DtDNS: Their DDNS service is completely free and I have never had any problems with it. DtDNS comes very highly recommended from me!
»The Telnet BBS Guide: This BBS list is quite possibly the most up-to-date telnet BBS list in the world. My friend, Dave Perrussel, maintains this list and keeps it accurate. There are over 400 telnet BBSes listed with this. Dave also maintains the Dial-Up BBS List for those BBSes that offer POTS (dialup) connections; some BBSes (like mine) offer both telnet and POTS connections.
»The BBS Corner: This site, also run by Dave Perrussel, is the premier site for BBS sysops and users alike on the Internet. If you are a new user or an experienced sysop, this site has a ton of information about BBSing that you can use.
»Tiny's Software: Shawn Highfield, a long-time BBS sysop and a close friend of mine, has written several programs for BBSes that would prove very useful for a BBS sysop and he's got some fun doors he's produced also. Of course, all of his software is free (I have released some of Shawn's software through my Cheepware distribution channels before). Shawn also runs a BBS called Tiny's BBS; stop by and check it out.
»Filegate: This website has a large selection of files "hatched out" (released) via the various file distribution channels in Fidonet. The site (and the main distribution channel) is run by Janis Kracht, a fellow BBS sysop and the Zone 1 Coordinator in Fidonet.
»Fidonet.CA: An unofficial site about Fidonet, but this site is much better than the "official" (if there is such a thing) Fidonet website.
»Synchronet BBS List: This site is a unique BBS list as this list is maintained automatically nightly by computer. This list consists of active BBSes running Synchronet BBS software.

»ICOM America: My first HF radio was an ICOM IC-718. I was very happy with it and recommend ICOM to my fellow hams.
»Yaesu (Vertex Standard): I own several radios from Yaesu (FT-2800M, VX-150, FT-23R) and have found that Yaesu's equipment is top-notch and all of the radios have served me well over the years.
»The DX Zone: One of the top sites on the Web to find information about amateur radio. There's something for everyone on this site and it is updated daily (the site even posts on Facebook when it updates!). I highly recommend this site to any amateur or anyone who's interested in amateur radio.
»QRZ.COM: Again, one of the top sites on the Web for amateur radio operators. Not only does QRZ have the usual forums and "for sale" boards, but QRZ's callsign database is one of the best in the world and millions of hams worldwide use it to look up one another's callsigns during contacts (QSOs).

Cross-Point Designs: My mom's business website. She designs and sells needlepoint and cross-stitch patterns. I designed her website and I also do maintenance on it.
The Oatmeal: A very funny website run by one guy with a warped sense of humor. This comic will ring very true for cat owners like me.
Zhorn Software: The home of one of my favorite Windows programs of all time, "Stickies". All of the software is free and very useful. I've used "Bart", a file sync/backup program, also.
