"Crap Boss" and Workplace Sites:

The Dilbert Zone
The Dilbert Zone

Err, I wonder if you've heard of this one. Indisputably the most popular "boss zone" on the web.

Netslaves
If you've worked in the Technology business, chances are you've been screwed. Here's your chance to fight back and tell the world what it's like to be a real-life "Dilbert". Or entertain yourself with the horror of others.

CoWorker Hints
Do you have a coworker with an unsociable habit or offensive problem? Then you need CoWorker Hints...

When Winners Work for Losers
An excellent crap boss site with loads of anecdotes and horror stories from employees. Your boss is probably featured here.

Surfing The Classifieds
An essential guide to double-speak in job classifieds. Highly amusing, and true-to-life too.

Annoyances.org
Not a boss site at all, but it makes this list look bigger. If you hate Microsoft, you'll find lots of things on this site to identify with.


Cool Sites That are Well Worth a Visit:

Zzzptm
Read Dean's great and varied musings on many subjects (including some management stuff). Be sure to check out the Great Cthulhu - HP Lovecraft++...

The Wired Press
Wired-up satire. Very funny site. Go check it out. G'won.

Moonrock Radio
UK-based community for on-line investors. Their message forum is refreshingly intelligent.

BGM Online
Big Girls Monthly - a parody on women's glossy magazines.
The monthly satirical magazine with attitude.

Keepers of Lists
Very funny site. All sorts of lists of various things.

The Humor Source
A good source of humor - does exactly what it says on the tin. Funny pictures, jokes, links etc.

BBSpot
Always good for a chuckle. Lots of spoof news stories, top-ten lists, polls and things.

Something Awful
Cliff Yablonksi hates you. Yes, you personally. Visit this site and get sucked in for ever...

The Register
UK-based tech news source. Lively, witty and up-to-date.

Nexus Magazine
Behind the news; health; Big Brother; UFOs; Unexplained; Future Science.
Lots of interesting articles about these subjects. Pay particular attention to the article about artificial sweeteners.

David Icke
Whatever you have heard, read, or personally believe about him, his articles deserve to be read. It's the easiest way to make up your own mind after all, instead of just hearing other peoples' conclusions...
Here's a useful introduction.

Libertarianism
"Everyone should be free to do as they choose, so long as they don't infringe upon the equal freedom of others."
Libertarianism is a nice idea; makes you realise how inherently corrupt our existing political system is (this is coming from the land that doesn't even have its own written Constitution).

Gyroscopic Inertial Thruster:JetLESS drive for circular wing (UFO), & related crafts
Every home should have one.

My Diary on Getting a Girlfriend
The personal diary of a self-confessed sad character, documenting his increasingly frustrated attempts to get himself a girlfriend. If you're feeling a bit down, go visit this site - it'll make you feel a lot better about yourself.

Virus Hoaxes
Read up on what is and is not possible with e-mail viruses. And STOP FORWARDING those goddamned "JOIN THE CREW" messages. It's a hoax, okaay??

Dino's Home Page
An extensive and well selected set of links to cool sites around the web: "alternative" music, software development, conspiracies, alien abduction, etc.


Software Development Sites:

Meryl.net
A good portfolio of articles about software development and things - well worth a read.

Javelin Software
A Java-based web browser; JGenerator source code generator for Java database business objects; Swinglets component-based API for generating HTML, WML and XML pages (written years before "JavaFaces" was a twinkle in the JavaSoft "expert committee's" eye...)

Programmers Guild
Organisation for professional programmers.

Lycos: HotWired: WebMonkey
A good resource for web page developers. However someone should tell them that they're trying too hard with their front page, and it looks like a serious pig's breakfast.
Lycos? And HotWired too? How many layers of ownership can a website have before it implodes??

TheServerSide
Useful resources & news updates for server-side Java developers.

JavaWorld
On-line magazine for the Java community. Some good articles, though their articles are sometimes just thinly veiled promotions for companies' or individuals' own products: "Use Jimmy's Proprietary Alternative to JSP!"
O'Reilly Network's site (OnJava) is another good site.

 

"Reciprocal Link" Blurb:

Do you have a website that you would like us to link to? Here's how to do it:

  1. Make sure your site is good. It must be a good site, with good things on it. Good things are things that are not bad things.
  2. Put up a link to Bad Managers: http://www.softwarereality.com
  3. Send us an email. Please make sure you include your site's URL, and the URL of the page that links to us.
  4. We'll do our best to let you know fairly quickly whether we're going to return the honour.
  5. That's it - and thanks!
