Pepino - Old Bookmarks

My bookmarks

Bookmarks last updated 23-Sep-02.

URL Manager Pro was the software I used to manage my bookmarks. It was the best bookmark software I've used to do this. One great feature was that it let you put comments with all your bookmarks. It also will export them to HTML for you. That is where this list comes from. I do have to clean up the HTML it exports quite a bit to place it here. The list is long so I miss some items. Some HTML Entities get messed up, but it should work good enough.

The software is also able to check your links to make sure they are still good. But for me, it used to crash if I tried to do the whole list. I can only select about a screenfull without crashing. That is time consuming. Also, over time, some of my links point to places that may have changed. But, all in all, I believe this list is about 90% good.

Currently I no longer use URL Manager Pro because of some usability issues. I've just been using Safari's built-in bookmark manager which is good enough plus it integrates nicely with LaunchBar which I use for so many things. The only downside is I cannot add comments to the links I keep as I could with URLM. Oh well. That will also mean this links page will probably not get updated anymore.

Here is my current Safari Bookmark list.
