News

July 24, 2010:

I discovered a video on YouTube, created by Therese Fleming, entitled "The top 10 reasons to write". A fair bit of the facts come from James' Interesting Facts (now found at All Fun and Games). Pretty interesting... check it out!

July 5, 2010:

I've re-done the main page to separate content that's kept up-to-date from content that's not, and updated the wallpaper sitewide. I've also posted my list of top 10 songs of 2009 (about time, since it's July 2010 already).

June 7, 2010:

As previously mentioned, I've re-directed the facts pages to My new facts website at http://www.allfunandgames.ca/facts/.

May 20, 2010:

I've created a new web site, All Fun and Games, at http://www.allfunandgames.ca. The facts pages are now located there, and I'll redirect the facts pages to this new site shortly.

Pages Kept Up-To-Date

All Fun and Games [www.allfunandgames.ca]

This is what the former James' Interesting Facts has become. Contains over one thousand interesting facts in 45 different categories, as well as dozens of games and puzzles such as Sudoku, crosswords, classic puzzles, and others.

Calvin and Hobbes Index

Given the topic of a cartoon, find pages in the books containing related cartoons! All of the collections are indexed.

The Railway Builders

The text of the book The Railway Builders by Oscar D. Skelton.

My favourite ten songs of the past several years.

Elsewhere on the Internet

Other places where I can be found.

E-mail:

You can e-mail me at ajy@sentex.net.

Web sites of mine:

All Fun And Games (listed in the "Pages Kept Up-To Date" section above)

The Mathematics Lair (listed in the "Pages No Longer Updated" section below).

Wikis:

I am a more-or-less former (although I may make occasional contributions from time to time) editor and administrator on the English Wikipedia, and an occasional editor at some of the other Wikipedias, Wikitravel, and Citizendium.

Social Networking:

While I'm not a huge fan of social networking, I am AllFunAndGames on Twitter (I use this account mostly to announce changes to my All Fun and Games site) and I have an account on LinkedIn and an account on Viadeo (the last of which I don't recommend).

Other:

I also contribute to some other sites pseudonymously; listing them here would defeat the purpose of using a pseudonym.

Pages No Longer Updated

The following pages are ones that I no longer update regularly. As a result, some of the material may be out-of-date (especially the web coding stuff). Regardless, I still welcome questions or comments about the material.

The Mathematics Lair [ajy.stormloader.com]
