Automation Links

I argued with myself long and hard before putting up this list. After all, if you visit each of these sites every month, you’re not going to need to read the newsletter. On the other hand, if it takes you as long as it does me to check them all out, you’re not going to have time to do much else.

I’m sure it’s not the most comprehensive list available anywhere – it’s just the most comprehensive I’ve come across. If you know of any URLs which you think should be included, or find that any of these have been superseded (I’ve tested them all, honest!), please let me know by emailing me at linkupdates@iainsider.co.uk
