The Entire Grobius Shortling Web Page Directory

America Online -- Grobius [ members.aol.com/grobius ]

Listing the sites on this screen name is pretty academic now. Some ass reported me to AOL's Parental Controls for having a picture of a nude woman on one of my pages, so they arbitrarily deleted the whole directory. The older pages had no backups, so they are gone. What I could restore or reconstruct (although some of them are on other Grobius sites) are marked *.
  • Index -- Home Page (1998) [* new version written after the Deletion]
  • Index2 -- Frames Home Page (1997) * [components: Gsmmain, Gsnewtop -- there are also some pieces of an earlier frames page lying around: Gframe, GFmenu, Gsmbot1, Gsmbot2, Gsmbotf, Gsmtop, Gsframe, Gsmvbs, Gsmblank... Not sure if these are still functional as a unit]
  • Oldindex -- Original Home Page (1996) [* faked as Oldphony]

  • Grobmess -- Scrolling Seasonal Messages
  • Grobpark -- This Site as Arranged for the Prospect Park Area Webring (also on Fishenet)

Whew! That's the biggest one, except for the Academy Site, which has been moved to Geocities. And as of late 1999 to its own domain Imbecility.com. The Mystery pages also have a new domain: Mysterylist.

America Online -- Grobnet [ members.aol.com/grobnet ]

  • Index -- Index Page for This Screen Name -- not up to date!
  • Celtcas -- About Celtic Castles
  • Englcas -- English Castles Page
  • Grandma -- My Welsh Grandmother
  • Scotcas -- Scottish Castles Page
  • Sites -- Castles, Stone Circles, and Other Ancient Monuments Home Page (major web site)
  • Welshcas -- Welsh Castles Page
  • Wounds -- 'Wounds Without Cause': a Biblical analysis for cynics
Always intended to be the site for my castle pages, but the 2 meg was quickly used up by all the pictures included on those pages. Half of the site is now on TRIPOD.

America Online -- Boitha [ members.aol.com/boitha ]

  • Index -- Index Page for This Screen Name -- not up to date!
  • Aggie -- Festus McCoy's ghost story "Aggie McHale's Lover" [comes in frames that include Aggbind, Aggbind2, Aggcov, Aggedge, and Aggie1 thru 14]
  • Aglove -- Plain text version of "Aggie McHale's Lover"
  • Badpoems -- Bad poetry, bad web page
  • Bettylou -- The Story of the Round the World Balloon Adventure on Blenkinsop has been moved to Geocities, as has all the rest of the Blenkinsop stuff that was on Boitha -- this is a stub page
  • Celeb -- This was my Celebrity Nudes Page, but most of the pictures were removed when I was tight on space; maybe I'll put them back and add even more, but not on AOL
  • Nadia -- Nadia the Lily, a really bad one-act play
  • Sicko -- Sicko Productions, Limited; the fictions of Grobius compendium
  • Wildman -- The detective stories about William Blackstone Wildman, by yours truly. The site includes the following:
  • Dracula -- My Review of The Bloody Red Baron by Kim Newman (Dracula and Baron Richtofen)
  • Dwarf -- The Dwarf's Tragedy: fragment of a Jacobean play
  • Nonpc -- The Politically Incorrect Page
  • Qmary -- Ocean Liner Page
  • Railway -- Public Transporation Gripes and an Attempt to "Do" the Entire NYC Subway System
Started out as my dirty-picture site, but Steve Case of AOL doesn't like that. It became the overflow area for things that there was no longer any room to put on GROBIUS.

America Online -- WJUHC [ members.aol.com/wjuhc ]

  • Index -- Index Page for This Screen Name -- not up to date!
  • Drwho -- Doctor Who Page

  • Kingart -- King Arthur and the Dark Ages (major web site)
  • Publish -- Some Links to Publishers' Web Sites
  • Work -- About where I work (who cares?) [uhcepd.htm on the same site is almost identical because I had to replace the original one, which was defamatory of my COMPANY and I was quietly told it would not be a GOOD idea to leave it there]
This site was all going to be work-related until I caught on to the fact my bosses don't want me posting things about the Company on-line without prior vetting -- especially the office scandal stuff I was putting on it along with insider jokes.

TRIPOD -- Grobius [ members.tripod.com/~grobius ]

Oct. 2001: Got bumped from Tripod for violating Terms of Service (heaven knows what violation -- they wouldn't tell me -- probably somebody was offended by one of the news stories or the atheism). So forget all the stuff below. I restored the Castles portion under a new ID: http://grobius2.tripod.com/grobius. "Pagans" has been restablished at grobius.com, and the "News Stories" are on imbecility.com.

I hope you appreciate my efforts here to create this page, even if it is mainly for my own benefit. This is something undertaken under a compulsive whim, an all-nighter thing, but once finished will no longer be of interest and will no doubt go out of date in a year or so, to be replaced by the Grand Year 2000 Web Site I'm planning but haven't really thought about yet. (And now that it is already here, won't do.) But I will try to keep this list as much up to date as possible, for my own sake, if not for yours. GS
