OK, all this stuff is copyright to me, you want to link to it then great, but don't go using it without getting permission from me, and I'm not keen on that idea to be honest, still you can ask. You can E-mail me by using this

. Some of this stuff has been around a while by the way, but it's all articles I've written over the last few years or material I've knocked up and finally got around to organising. Hopefully you'll find it useful. If you find it all lacking in structure, well, that's because it is. If you want structure, then you'll find it in the E-Book CD's on the Technobabble page.
