Onasander Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 I just got internet access in my place recently, before I was using my buddies wireless access till he moved out, then for the last few months I've been without cept a occasional jump on someone elses computer to check my email out. I spent all night downloading stuff off of emule, tried to track down the name of the chinese monestary which supposely has records over 5,000 years old (the one near the equally mysterious white pyrimid), and spent the rest of the night on meaningless searches. I need a atlas- a historical-military atlas of the net. The best sites to hit, like UNRV, and my mind isn't fertile enough to find many outstanding sites by googling, so I'll ask you instead, what's your favorite sites to hit on the net?

Sextus Roscius Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 UNRV, Nationstates, nothing much else that might be of intrest to you, unless you have an intrest in realistic WWII games and other neat stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onasander Posted January 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 I was the one who started the whole nationstates commotion on this site, but finally had to let my nation die with dignity and respect, knowing full well it wouldn't survive my future deployments.

Virgil61 Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 ...what's your favorite sites to hit on the net? If you're asking about favorite sites in general then I'd say Art & Letters Daily. One of the best things on the 'net if you ask me, a real feast for the mind.

Tobias Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 (edited) Here's a website i used to enjoy, but seems to have died down over Christmas, you might have to wait until it fires up again: http://www.handmaidenshandbook.com.au/ I get most of my sports news from here: http://sports.ninemsn.com.au/ This is one of the most fascinating sites summarizing Roman history that i've accessed: http://www.sci.gu.edu.au/~wiseman/Roman/19Maps.html Hope some of those are useful. What sort of connection have you got Onasander? Out here in the outback, just east south-east of nowhere, we're stuck with a dial-up connection. The Telstra company (our main provider for Australia of telephones, internet etc,) boss reckons that in a little while, we'll have wireless broadband country wide, but right now we don't even have normal broadband country wide, so i think he's a bit ambitious Edited January 22, 2006 by Tobias Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onasander Posted January 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 (edited) DSL, I started downloading movies off of eMule yesterday, and am just now getting them! I'm going to have to get dial up as well, we go to Iraq in Oct, but we're also going on 3 one month deployments all over, so I'll have to dial in local off the phoneline there when not trapped out in the field. (The handmaiden isn't working) P.S., Viggen, I went to that stumble search page, I'm just as impressed! You'ved found the cure to the common bore. I'll be sending some paid women your way here soon.

Tobias Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 (The handmaiden isn't working) Yeah i noticed, bit of a disappointment that, because it is quite good when it is up and running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princeps Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 The only site I spend any great amount of time on, apart from UNRV is- http://www.coolminiornot.com/forums/ (that's the forum section, the main site is a daily updated gallery of 64,000+ inages) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M. Porcius Cato Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 ...what's your favorite sites to hit on the net? If you're asking about favorite sites in general then I'd say Art & Letters Daily. One of the best things on the 'net if you ask me, a real feast for the mind. I totally agree--A&L Daily is the best thing on the net. That, UNRV, and the New York Times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primus Pilus Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 I absolutely love Bill Thayer's Lacus Curtius site and find it invaluable. His presentation of some of the ancients is far more user friendly than some others (though I do hope he does some more translations.. especially Tacitus) Greek and Latin translations And William Smith's Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities is just great to have around. Thank You Bill Thayer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onasander Posted January 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 Bill Thayer has been a great role model for me, the first roman military text I read was his copy of Frontinus, I also enjoyed reading his travel accounts. I WILL have a website like that someday, feel free to contact me then if we ever fall out of touch (because I him I started typing out Mao's Guerrilla Warfare, only to watch some damn communist website put it out before me. I was so sad.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
