Bad link in readme on this repo for @arfon's thesis (HTTP Status 404 - Not Found) #103

Closed MrCull closed 3 years ago

MrCull commented 3 years ago

In the readme for this repo there is a link to @arfon's thesis: https://www.arfon.org/thesis However this link is now dead (HTTP Status 404 - Not Found). I've had a look on afron's website but cannot see this document under another link.

Could you advise @arfon if this link can be found elsewhere? If not then possibly this link could be used instead(?): https://www.arfon.org/#-some-background

Extra info

I found this using a new tool that I recently recreated that uses the GitHub API: https://github.com/MrCull/GitHub-Repo-ReadMe-Dead-Link-Finder

This tool can be used to find bad links in repo's readme files.

See example url below that will re-check this repo: http://githubreadmechecker.com/Home/Search?SingleRepoUri=https%3a%2f%2fgithub.com%2fgithub%2fopen-source-survey

I'd love to hear some feedback on this tool, especially from someone at GitHub, so feel free to pass on any comments or suggestions etc...
