A new hosting service deserves a new look. Do you like it? This page was built in Google Page Creator, which is a free tool for making web pages. My last site was created in vi, the editor of champions, and updated slowly and laboriously over passive FTP to a mistrusting web server. Ironically, the web server that caused me so much grief over FTP finally got hacked (over Canada Day, no less!), so here I am turning over a new leaf on a shiny new page.

It's green. I like that.
