You will have noticed that the links roundup has gone AWOL for the past three days. I don’t know why — I think it’s a problem with Delicious but I can’t be sure. Anyway, I am now having to manually include all the links that have gone missing, so here they are.

Don’t forget, if you want to see all the interesting links as I post them, they are up at the Delicious vee8 page.
