“Other Sites of Interest” Test Page

Other Sites of Interest – If you are seeing this, you have stumbled upon it accidentally. It isn’t intended to be an “Easter Egg” or anything. It is just a private page. I have amalgamated all of the external links of the site here.

The problem with any external link is that I have no control over them. Over time they may become dead links or taken over by malicious actors of the internet. By amalagamating all of the links into a single page, I can periodically check them out to make sure that everything is kosher, and delete the ones that go bad.
