Perspectives on oook.info
(from 28viii25)

oook.info began in 2004, and by my retirement in September 2005 was the web home for my W&L work. The site has grown during the last 20 years, and now contains almost 30,000 files which occupy 13.64GB. There are 294 Folders, many of them Archival (in the sense of their content being unchanged for many years).

A catalog by year last modified gives a window into the succession of interests over the last 20+ years. This version leaves out most of the 1995-2005 W&L materials:

Links are mostly to index.html files where they exist; / Folders don't have useful html files at present, and a few of the folders are of no use and may be Expunged real soon now.
