| MacColin Links Outline |
My links pages are my bookmarks, over 4000 in an outline structure, of sites useful to get information more quickly than a search engine will do. When I find a useful site, I keep it. Small business, Internet, Public Resources, Web publishing,Earth Sciences, Living History, and Scotts sites are strongly represented, with almost no sports (but cross country skiing and hiking are here).
I frequently need to locate some information quickly, without searching through the dozens of sites from a search engine, so when I find a useful site, it gets catagorized and bookmarked. As a result, I know the site existed, and the type of information availble. Links within MacColin.com and Tournaig.net are not in this set.
I wrote a program which processes my bookmark file, producing one outline file with all the headers and links to the pages of related links, and pages of related links (2nd level headers down) which I try to keep to 64K or less for speed. Extra information kept by bookmarks are removed (created, last visit, icons, folder status).
The outline page has all headers to make it easier to find a subject, which may be where you would place it in the outline or not, so an Edit|Find can speed the search. Some items have comments (i.e. cookie greedy, ad laden, comprehensive). All links in the links pages, other than to the sites, are reletive, so the set (OTLN.HTM, REF??.HTM - 01-12) can be downloaded and used- far faster.
