Thanks for the kind words, Joe.
Yes, there is a website, and normally I include the URL...except I
somehow missed it yesterday.
http://www.utc.edu/Faculty/Jason-Griffey/websites.html
That has all the old sites I've selected. I haven't put up TinyURL yet,
but that is an incredibly useful site.
More info on the future incarnation...soon. :-)

Thanks, Jason, for sending these out periodically. Where do you find
the time to locate them all? :)

Do you actually have a site with all the archived links on it from
previous months? I searched from the campus main page and the library
search page and couldn't find it. If you have a master
"Useful/Interesting Websites" page, maybe you could post the links for
those who haven't been saving the monthly e-mails.
> And with that: the websites!
I'll throw in one of my own (I was going to look up your page to see if
you had posted it previously :)
TinyURL
http://tinyurl.com/
Very useful for those who need to send a link to a page that's deeply
embedded in a site (many directories deep or with a long embedded query
string, etc.) such that their e-mail programs mangle the link ... or in
case people actually need to type the URL into their browser. instead
of something like ...
http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?ovi=1&mqma
p.x=300&mqmap.y=75&mapdata=%252bKZmeiIh6N%252bI
gpXRP3bylMaN0O4z8OOUkZWYe7NRH6ldDN96YFTIUmSH3Q6

252bT9Su5KoQ9YpNSj%252bmo0h0aEK%252bofj3f6vCP
... it creates a nice short link such as http://tinyurl.com/gp9k9 that
points to the same page in a lot fewer characters. Cool, eh?
