Travelogues
A Lovely World

The world as seen by Dominique Ganteille, available in French, English and Spanish.

Sharing Travel Experiences

Travel more with this travel lifestyle magazine.

Galen S. Frysinger

Travel photos of Galen S. Frysinger, of Sheboygan, Wisconsin. There's practically nowhere left for him to go, but really interesting to see tourist photos of many places from so long ago.


Travel Tools
Flight Stats

Get generally reliable information about any flight number you enter on the date you choose.

OANDA

Benchmark currency conversion site, very useful graphs of past trends too. Still not sure if it's Oanda, or O And A...

SkyScanner

A price comparison comparison site - this checks the likes of Expedia, Opodo and others to really help find you the best deals going.


Friends' Websites
Pinto's Site

A site made by Gav from school, it has been recommended by one of my friends as "the funniest thing he's ever seen", and even contains a tribute to this site...but beware.

Marcus Kendall - Strathclyde 2001

This lad came on exchange from Atlanta, Georgia to Strathclyde, Glasgow for a year and lived like the rest of us Scots. Read his accounts of life in Glasgow, an American's perspective on everyday Scottish University life. He also has a lot of photos of Scotland too!

Simon Harbord's Kite Aerial Photography

Kite Aerial Photography enthusiast Simon displays his work.

Final year project website

Investigate our world-beating novel designs and philosophy for our final year engineering project at Strathclyde Uni, Group K. This is another website of my creation, and uses lots of floating frames.

Rubislaw Parish Church

The second website of my creation, or at least joint creation. Rubislaw Church is our local church at home and the task was taken up by my Mum to make a church website, which I assisted with. Do you recognise the colour?

Bishopton Ventures

The site of the Bishy Boys in Glasgow, many pictures within.


Assorted Useful Sites
Wikipedia

Quite possibly the most useful website in the world, an encyclopedia written by the people for the people. Started when a boffin in a lab somewhere realised, that as much information as there is on the interweb, it's a complete mess and mostly nonsense. This site is the resolution and it makes fact-finding easy-peasy.

YouTube

The idea being that it's "You" on the "Tube" (cathode ray tube = TV) but to us Brits it still sounds like an insult. Ya Tube! Endless entertainment nonetheless.

The Internet Movie Database

Every time I look at this site it increases in my estimation, it is a fully comprehensive guide to just about anything that has been produced for watching on a screen, perhaps with the exception of laundry in a drier...but that's for next season! Extra features include a service for finding what famous people share your birthday.

Dictionary.com

Does exactly as it says on the tin. Also has good translation programs for major European languages, great for the Spanish homework!

FaceBook

The most "grown up" of the social networking sites, and certainly the one with the best functionality if you ask me.

Lyrics World

One of the better of many sites dedicated to song lyrics, here you can find out exactly what Snow was saying...

Net House Prices

A free resource for checking out how much your neighbour got for their house, or how much you were beaten by in that last bid on a flat...takes a few months to for info to come through but very useful nonetheless.

ASPC

The Aberdeen Solicitors' Property Centre, for anyone in the property market in the 'Deen, this is the one-stop shop for you.


Assorted Useless Sites
Bewitched

Web-based artyness and visual oddities.

WhooHoo Dialect Translators

Never mind translating into different languages; if you ever find yourself in one of the "stronger accented" regions of the UK, this tool will be a Godsend...

Daystrom Institute Technical Library

Trekkie techy heaven for uber-nerds and closet geeks alike, like me.

Eric Harshberger's Lego Site

This bloke builds with Lego for a living, and does a very impressive job of it too.

Early Maps of Scotland before 1850

I love old maps, but I don't often get to where I'm wanting to go when using them...

Kontraband

The internet is a gold mine for amusing nonsense, this site brings it together. Probably best you don't look at this one at work.


Computing
Priceless Computing

This computer shop in Glasgow is so ridiculously cheap it has to be seen to be believed. Specialising in seperate components, it is where I got my machine. Recommended by me!

UK Reg

UK Reg is the company that I lease this website domain from. They have unbeatable prices and you get a lot with your URL, including email forwarding, framed redirection and other handy tools.

Streamline

My current hosting company, when I joined it cost just £14 per year for 150MB webspace with unlimited bandwidth and FTP access. SnapHappyRoss, at 70MB in June 2006, fitted nicely in here with plenty of room for expansion.

HTMLite

This is one of the sites from which I have gleaned most of my knowledge and ability (what little there is) in writing HTML for this website. It has easy to follow tutorials and is very helpful.

Hypergurl

And this is the other site, it has a whole bunch of codes for various things which you are invited to copy freely, but as I prefer to learn and write it myself I follow the comprehensive tutorials instead.
