We all have our own personal knowledge of sites, which we use from time to time because they make our (Internet) life so much easier

Many of those nice little gems have occasionally been mentioned on the forum this past year


To name but a few:

The Wayback Machine, When It Is Imperative For You To Know What The Front Page Of www.AllOfMP3.com Looked Like On December 17 2000: http://www.archive.org/index.php

Ipligence IP-address Look Up, When You Want To Know Exactly Where In The World MP3Sparks Is Hosted At Present Moment (Shown On A Map): http://www.ipligence.com/geolocation/?lang=en&search

Babelfish Translation, For Those Situations When It Is Vitally Important To Get An Instant Translation Of "Les Mots" By Jean-Paul Sartre: http://babelfish.altavista.com

Get Those Applications That Will Remove ANY DRM Protection: http://undrm.info/remove-DRM-protection

Finding And Regaining That One .dll-file, Which Is Suddenly Mysteriously Missing From Your Computer: http://www.dll-files.com


Sites like the above could prove extremely helpful (invaluable?) for many other forum members to gain knowledge of, so why not dedicate a whole thread to this?


Here are three more in rapid succession:

The File Extension Source: What Exactly Is A .vob-file?: http://filext.com

Birthday Calculator: Which Day Of The Week Were You Born And Which Other Major Events Took Place On That Exact Day Throughout Our Planet?: http://www.paulsadowski.org/BirthDay.asp


The last two I want to mention (for now aren't precisely gems, since a large percentage of you guys surely know (and use) these two sites already - but just in case:

When You Absolutely Need To Know How The Digestive System Of An Ankole Cow Works (In Detail): http://www.howstuffworks.com

If You For The Life Of It Can't Remember The Name Of The Actor Who Played 'Angel Eyes' In "The Good, The Bad And The Ugly," Then You Need To Go Here: http://uk.imdb.com

Solaris, brilliant idea having all these resources in the same place Perhaps, when you get a minute you could move your 5,000th post here

In these days of many of our favourite music sites showing all the characteristics of a tarts knickers i.e. being up and down this little site is quite useful; Down for everyone or just me? Just type in the name of a site (no need to type the www. bit) and it will tell you if the site is down for everyone of if it's just you've that's been singled out for persecution
