Nihongoresources is an excellent collection of....well, I think the name gives it away. Amongst other things the author (Michiel Kamermans, AI researcher and poet) has created a 285 page grammar guide downloadable as a PDF, a Kansai-ben dictionary, a giongo/mimesis dictionary and an extensive coverage of the Joyo kanji. I enjoyed the description of verb conjugations because of the way Michiel explained the relationship with classical Japanese, making it much easier to see how the language works - so much better than just saying "this is a Group 1 verb and this is Group 2". Great stuff. Hours, nay, days of learning joy. Highly recommended for all levels. Go, read, learn, enjoy.
Expect that you got the name wrong, Nikolaj didn't make the site, I did (Michiel Kamermans), Nikolaj merely linked to it on his homepage =)

and I should have caught that typoed "except".

Also, as a last comment, the poems linked to are mine, rather than Nikolaj's - while laudum to the website is always a nice thing, it might have been a good idea to verify the information before posting on it ^^;

Dear Michiel
I am really sorry that I got the name wrong - my apologies. I have corrected the error.
If I may explain - When I went to the Links page I found the following link plus your comment:
http://www.nikolaj.doorways.dk/mikepoison - This is, technically, my homepage. It's currently hosting my drawings including the webmanga I gave up on =)
I attributed this homepage to you because you yourself said that it was. And yes, I should have checked the Contact page and for this I apologise, but I thought I was on pretty firm ground with the description of the link.
I am really sorry that there was this mix-up and I can understand how you feel but to avoid this happening again might I suggest you change the description of Nikolaj's link to "This is the homepage of a friend/colleague of mine. You can find some of my poems hosted here
cheers, and thanks for Nihongoresources.com

an understandable mistake: my homepage used to be http://nikolaj.doorways.dk/mikepoison as a subdirectory in Nikolaj's web directory... though why that dir is still alive I cannot quite fathom... nice to see some of my old poems again though, I didn't realise they were still online.
What puzzles me is how you got to the "main" page, that's been gone for a long time I thought... O.o
