A small collection of sites that can be very useful.
I hate the masses of links in side collumns of blogs, so I put my blogroll and other links here.
I will try to sort them in useful categories.
As its always... there is not so much in the beginning, but I hurry...

Of course I'm using del.icio.us, too. The links you can find on my del.icio.us site are more a "diary" of my internet research. The links below are in someway more important to me and I use them more often.
