About this site
In 1997 hodgy.net was started
purely as a tool to give me quick access
to the sites I used most often. As it developed I started to
add areas of interest
to both myself and the visiting public at large. They now
covered varied subjects such as
 hobbies,
homework, Music, languages, web building, music, music
sharing, autos etc.
The large computer technical support
and driver section is especially
useful as manufacturers are always bringing out new drivers to fix existing
computer problems.
This area gives you several specialist sites for just that purpose.
The Sixth Scale Dragon Model area has been very popular with several
visitors leaving messages from all around the world. Hodgy.net has grown way
beyond my first ideas having now over 2000 links to sites of great interest to all,
not just myself. |

 For
starters: why not visit my
new page "Top Sites" that lists some
of the more useful and interesting sites I have visited. This is of course my
personal choice and will change as I see new sites to include.
I am always looking for new sites that will add to my enjoyment of the web and in
turn yours. I will constantly add new places to visit as I find them,
and add any you recommend via the feedback page.

I am continually working on a specialist
section all about the history of computers.
As you must have a computer to be reading
this page it may well be of interest just how it all began and who the key players
have been. I think you may well be surprised!

 There has been a slight change to the opening of the site. As the new
version of Internet Explorer will have built in "Pop-Up stopping" I have
disabled the Pop-Up site list on my site.
If you want the information on the new sites
as they are added then follow this link>>. The main sitemap is still
here>>. There is also a full listing of all the links on the site here>> |

Sites that specialise in technical support, drivers and trouble shooting. Many
of the large manufacturers technical sites are here plus sites where you can find
drivers to fix faults on hardware. There is also a section on its own for
Microsoft technical support. The tech support area is the most useful part of
my site for computer and Internet users.
|
This area covers various hobbies such as cars and motor bikes , music and music downloading,
games, World War II and Model making. The entertainment section covers acting sites like the
Equity page and sites where you can learn various entertaining skills.
|
These sites are of a generally interesting nature. They should provide good
stops on your internet browsing with areas such as Radio stations, TV
stations, mobile phones melodies, medical sites, local area and maps,
acting, entertainment etc.
|
This is my only specialist area. I have been a modeller since my childhood making
mainly second world war models. Over the years they have been built using balsa
wood, plastic kits, resin kits and own made using all three mediums. Last year
I discovered Dragon sixth scale models. Have a look and see what I mean.
|
Here you will find sites of a more educational nature with information on History,
Languages, Encyclopaedias, Homework and many more. The history section is quite
well covered as is the on-line encyclopaedia section. If you need answers then
you will probably find them here.
|
Various sites covering all aspects of web design. HTML editors, counters. Sites offering
free software and tutorials. There are scripts to download, tutorials and an especially
large section on Macromedia software.
|
Here are all the links to all the software I use. There are many sites that have excellent
software available. Some free too! I have divided it into A and B software.
The A section I use and need the sites for upgrading, and the B section covers other
software that I have used or seen recommended. The main download sites are also covered here.
|
 All
the main on-line weather sites are here so the is no excuse now to go out and
get soaked. This is a great set of sites as you will no longer have to wait until
the end of the news to see what the day's weather will bring.
|
Some general links not covered elsewhere such as newspapers, sports and reference
sites. This will be an easy site for me to add links so please keep coming
back to this one.
|
There are literally hundreds of Internet providers (ISP's) however if they are here they're o.k. The Net4nowt site has a full rating section for ISP's
so you can make your mind up before you join. The large companies are here plus some of the small ones so if you have a
recommendation then let me know>>
|
 Newsgroups are still an excellent way to get information from the web.
Rather than use the groups supplied by your ISP. here are some of the better independent
newsgroup providers. If you have not seen newsgroups then you don't know what
you have missed.
