Introduction

I maintain pages on a few different subjects:

• My blog Du är vad du läser (in Swedish).
• Pointers to information about science fiction fandom in Scandinavia.
• A page about the science fiction writer Ian McDonald.
• A page about the science fiction writer Peter F. Hamilton.
• A bibliography of science fiction and fantasy short stories in Swedish (incomplete).
• You are what you read - a statistical analysis of my own reading.
• Book reviews written since 1990 (all in Swedish).
• Some information on book binding (in Swedish).
• A searchable index to Locus reviews.
• A collection of links to bibliography sites relevant for science fiction and fantasy.
• My collection of horrendously mistranslated comic strips (only fun if you know Swedish).
• Adventureland, my database about interactive fiction.
• My LEGO page.
• A page for my own hacks.
• Some of my writings (fiction, travelogues, reviews & criticism).
• A collection of my photos.
• Some travel writing I have done (all in Swedish).
• My CV.

I like science fiction and fantasy a lot. I am chairman of Linköpings Science Fiction-Förening (The Linköping Science Fiction Society) and the science fiction convention ConFuse.

Search engines

Science Fiction and Fantasy

Here are some international science fiction and fantasy links that I use a lot. I have a lot more links to sf/fantasy sites in scandinavia.

• Locus Index
  My own searchable index to reviews in Locus magazine.
• The Lurker's Guide to Babylon 5
  All the information you need about Babylon 5, and then some.
• Internet Speculative Fiction Database
  A searchable database, primarily about sf/fantasy books, magazines, and awards.
• The Encyclopedia of Arda
  A very good hypertext encyclopedia about Tolkien's Middle-Earth.
• Chris Drumm Books
  My favorite antiquarian bookseller.
• Andromeda Bookshop
  Another antiquarian bookseller, this one on the east side of the Atlantic.

Languages

This section has some links that have to do with language and translating.

• Collective Nouns
  A guide to English collective nouns. I propose the addition of "a chaos of web pages".
• Svenska sidan
  Lots of links of use for Swedish translators.
• Skolverkets svensk-engelska lexikon
  A Swedish-English dictionary from the Swedish school board.
• Latin-English Dictionary
• SpellWeb
  When you don't have a dictionary, you may use the web do find the most common spelling of a word, as opposed (?) to the correct one.
• Ook (Orangutan Language Institute)

Computer stuff

Here are various computer links that I use now and then. I run Linux whenever I can, so most of the links deal with that.

• Linux Documentation Project
  Most of the information one needs about Linux can be found here.
• Some useful programs:
  • LifeLines, a free genealogical program.
  • Perl GEDCOM tools
  • Utility to reset NT passwords
  • dosemu
    A DOS emulator for Linux (and probably other unixes on intel). It even runs FreeDOS.
  • Wine
    A Windows emulator for any Intel machine that isn't already running Windows.
  • Samba
    An implementation of the SMB protocol in Windows for almost any platform.
• Åttabitarsligan
  Information on why it's evil to strip the eighth bit when programming.
• The International Obfuscated C Code Contest
  Examples of how not to program.
• The GNUish VMS project
  If you, for some reason, can't avoid working with VMS boxes, the stuff on this page will make life easier for you. If you're perverted enough to actually like VMS, you might want to have a look at the Free VMS page.
