We live in a nearly 200 year old house. It's amazing how much you learn about fixing houses when you live in one this old. Like you have a friggin choice.


AQUARIA

Fishtanks

decorations  
plants  
hardware  
food  
water  
science  
fish  

I've been keeping aquaria since 1974 and had something to do with very early usenet aquaria newsgroups and mailing lists in the '80s. About the only thing I read any more is the crypts mailing list I run and the livebearers list on aquaria.net. I read aquabid a lot for my fish "fix". I did a couple of killi websites in the '90s. Point of trivia the killifish mailing list I (still) run was the first tropical fish mailing list on the internet and killi.net and aquaria.net were the first two tropical fish domain names ever registered. I think mark Barnett's fishlinkcentral was the third. It was easy to kep track of them back then there were none, then there were a very small number.

CLOCKS

jefferson  
bakshi  

I'm not big into clocks really, I prefer watches. But I came across thins Jefferson goldern hour and I'd never give it up. I bought it as junk, plugged it in and it's kept pretty decently accurate time ever since. Amazingly all parts are still available for these things (2007) although mine hasn't needed any so far.


ALT.ENERGY

Alternative energy

solar  
bio-diesel  
wind  
hydro  
storage  
control  
insulation  
heaters  
links  

We had about the cheapest electricy in North American here in Ontario, then the government privatized it and now we pay 3X as much despite using less every year; and then there's the price of oil... my casual interest in alternative energy sources has been piqued.


HERPS

snakes  
lizards  

Snakes are cool. No, really.


RECIPES

dead recipes

coffee  
pizza  
bread  
pancakes  

There's not much point in just putting recipes here, they're all over the internet. But there are recipes that are no longer online and for those that don't grok archive.org they've been brought back from the dead here.
