Where a web page has disappeared or changed significantly, I replace 
the link with one to a copy in the Internet archive from around the 
time my web page was written. Perhaps someone has a utility which 
does that automatically.

I tend to worry about the links in the most important (and most read) 
web pages first.
Your readers also tend to tell you about broken links.

ps: Perhaps we should let the ANU COMP2410 web design students loose 
reviewing and redesigning your web site? They gave my lecture note 
web pages such a bad review I have given up and am now using Moodle:
