(Are "links" almost meaningless?) |
Well... I am not sure that a site dealing with searching techniques should actually give any link at all (apart, pheraps, the useful searchtools' tools and maybe dmoz and google compilations) since you should be able to find anything you may wish WITHOUT having any link at all. Besides: links are almost meaningless on our web-quicksand since they require constant & boring repairwork. I present this page nevertheless, though, in order to point my readers to some (IMO) useful resources. Note also that many essays and pages scattered inside my site have many ad hoc links that you will NOT find here...
~ Of course all my links are commented ~
Silly disclaimer about my own links
Some particular stupid and web-ignorant countries have decided that by setting a link on his pages, any author is responsible for the content of the linked page. Yep, it's absurd, I know, but that's what happen when you let lawyers out of the zoo.
The author can only protect himself if he is distancing himself from these contents. I happen to link to other pages in the internet. For all these links, I would like to point out that I don’t have any influence regarding design and contents of the linked pages. I keep the outmost distance from all contents of all pages linked from my sites. I am taking explicite distance from all contents of all linked pages on my sites and I don't call the contents of the linked pages my own. I strongly emphasise that I do not have any influence on the design and contents of the linked pages.
This disclaimer belongs to all links that appear on my sites.
Besides, not every link is really a link :-)
(Should a searching site have 'links' to other searching sites?) |
Try [this search] (note that you'r @ page three, ehehe: hic alta, hic salta), or try [this one] or go to [fast] or go to [google], or go to [teoma] (and with teoma, refine, refine and refine), or try out [Wisenut]
or use the [main engines], [regional engines], [local engines], [usenet searches]or [combing resources]
in order to search "searching sites" effectively.
Clever seekers, of course, will use [Our Searching scrolls]
Remember that some links 'related to searching' do not always come to mind, for instance those on usenet: google.public.support.general and alt.internet.search-engines, where you can practicize in abundantiam the lore of combing, trolling, luring and stalking.
You'll find our most important "searching-related" links among the Other messageboards section.

Our Magical pouches:
A sceptre (of variations)
Of a similar nature is that "Sceptre of variations" script (funny thing is that sceptre can be spelled also scepter - click on the title :). It is intended to substitute 'OR-impaired' search engies, but is also useful for generating filenames and feeding them to a mass-downloader.

Privacy? What privacy? If you are using Microsoft explorer, which you should not, you can check your own "supercookie" right now.
Proxomitron can filter cookies, popups, advertisements, onload events and dynamic refreshes. You can adjust headers, change your user agent, and block referral information. Proxomitron is not really designed to filter anything specific, it just provide a means to filter both inbound and outbound browser data. Moreover its "Status/Log window" can be used for a variety of reasons :-)
Proxomitron is available from http://www.proxomitron.org/ and is Freeware. (Last version: Naoko 4.4: July 2002, you can download it also in my tools section.).

[+svd]
Being a Bulgarian in Australia is probably as much unlikely as being a great programmer of old and a clever philosoph of to-day!
It is interesting to check this link BOTH with Opera + proxomitron and with MSIE-explorer :-)
[+Mammon]
More knowledge and sound information that you could have ever dreamed of! There are not many like him on the whole web. If you never visited Mammon, you'r in for a refreshing (and enlightening) surprise.
(Added in 2004:) He grew older, alas! (something you should always avoid, if possible) and seems now to be somehow grudging his younger times!
[sonofsamiam]
Very active on the bot, anti-advertisement, javascript obscuring and -leat but not last- anti-banner/popups fronts!

[Matt Pietrek]
A guru, a hero. A clever programmer. He did more for the "windows opensourcing" scene that you would suspect.

[+Greythorne] ~ http://gthorne.reteam.org/ ~ [+Greythorne]
Mighty link for softwareversers... an 'older one' and a friend of +ORC. A site where you could find much more than you can see :-) +Greythorne is my web-twin: we reversed together under +ORC's guidance between 1995 and 1999 (when I gave up protections' reversing and closed my old site).
He seems to be sorta retired nowadays :-(
[+Malattia]
Mighty link for softwareversers and steganocrackers... an italian master cracker and a very capable bookwriter, famous in the scene for his intersting links, very useful for his perl scripts and cgis. +Malattia is a great soul (a patient and capable helper of the younger ones and a good friend of mine).
He uses to work with Devine Right's and littlejohn (who wrote "uncc", a ce decompiler).
[CrackZ]
A great and good spreader of softwareversing knowledge. No commercial banners, of course.
