Sheldon Brown's site This guy knows an awful lot about bikes, and shares it in a very good & readable format on his site. You can also source many parts from Sheldon's bike shop, in the US.
Byer Cycles, Bedfordshire UK. A good bike shop that carries a lot of parts, most listed online. Takes phone or mail order only, but great service this way, and very fast.
Utah Mountain Biking Even though I don't have a mountain bike, a lot of the 'fix-it' guides still apply.
Shimano reference sheets Found this useful for reading up on some of my older Shimano parts. Electronic copies of shimano part sheets.
Bicycling life Biking advocacy, road safety & behaviour guides, as well as a useful howto section.
The Third Hand another online bike parts shop in the US. Carries a wide stock.

or more specifically, books that I have found useful

UNIX power tools. This book has many varied hints & tricks, to show the reader. Also a good guide to several things UNIX users should already know.
UNIX hints and hacks. Not so much "a hints and hacks" book, but a book that shows the reader how to get the same result by very many different approaches and methods. Also AT&T/BSD aware.
The awk programming language. Expensive, but a good guide to a powerful tool.
C++ Primer. A good book on a complex and/or varied language.
Applied Operating System Concepts, or just about any book by Silberschatz. Insightful and interesting theory that is kept current.
Learning JAVA. A good all-round approach to Java™ programming, currently reflecting the current (at time of writing) JDK™1.3.
253. An interactive hypertext novel.

involving how to get away (usually from the UK), not where to go.

Bargain Flights, also covers US/Canada departure locations.
Expressflight.com suck, and I am justified in saying this. The *only* company I have ever had problems with purchasing anything on-line. Gave me a terrible to non-existant service, costing many phone calls to their poor excuse for an office. I'd never touch this company again. Email me if you really want to know why.
Cheapflights.co.uk, seem good on prices, I dont use them directly to book, but to find other travel agents offering good prices. Hasn't failed yet.
Skydeals.co.uk, good prices, very efficient.
Major Travel PLC, quite cheap, and very reliable when others fail. (I had to use this travel agent at the last minute, and they were very helpful.)
British Foreign Office, best to check here before you go.

Mapping an n-ary tree representation to a logical binary tree structure just a quick & preliminary note I've made.
TCP keepalive timer a good discussion of one of the disputed "features" of TCP.
Cable Modem Overview, a well written document concerning cable modems, and on a wider scale high bandwidth internet access, associated problems one may encounter, as well as discussion of popular internet protocols.
