[*DISCLAIMER: stuff may be wrong. sowwy! mainly it's not, but if you get all poo-ey rockin up to a closed door, maybe double-check the link, or search for yourself. Perhaps take solace in the fact philth'll be aimlessly wandering too! There's so much stuff on, all listed in disparate sources, so please forgive philth's errors. Feedback is always useful, too. Noone friggin DOES it, but it IS welcome. This is basically a personal list to aid my memory for shit that's on - otherwise philthy forgets (awww!). As far as i know about 6 other people use it & find it useful. If you dun't like it, dun't use it - but more constructively, let philth know what it could do better! Or else aint nuthin's gonna change til then...!]
