These pages are terribly outdated and many of the links defunct. I'm in the process of recreating them, but no ETA when ShepWeb will be reborn.

New Items on ShepWeb

URLs are continually being added to ShepWeb. If they are new and unusual and of particular interest, they go in here. If they merely pad an existing category, sometimes they will pass up being mentioned here. Most recent ones are at the top, oldest on the bottom, and the week starts on Monday. I only keep 32k worth of filespace here, stuff off the bottom falls into the bit bucket.
