Obscure websites are often storehouses of knowledge

I'm sure that most of you have more than once searched for obscure or little researched information on the internet and come up dry in spite of the power of google and other search engines. I've often run into this situation because there are some topics that are so specialized (or of lesser interest to people in general) that it's well nigh impossible to find authoritative sources of information on them.

Here's where I would like my readers to help out. If you find a lesser-known website on an uncommon subject (examples, but not limited to: rare literature, forgotten authors, great webcomics or less popular FOSS applications) please bring them to my notice. I'll definitely give them a look and post a link here on this blog if I find them worthy.

I've already been doing this, but I would appreciate help from my readers as well. :)

  1. I know plenty of obscure sites, but I doubt any are relevant to your blog :).

  2. If you have to deal with MySQL, this is always a good site to read: http://www.mysqlperformanceblog.com/

  3. Troy, no problem. Let me have the links anyway by e-mail if you want me to look at them.

    Ah, Drew. That "boxy-but-gold" theme was one I used a long time ago on this blog (when I was working with WordPress)

  5. Logesh you've not yet given me your mobile number. I've lost all my contact numbers because I no longer use my old mobile number.
