Please excuse the dust

June 6th, 2006

For several days the BrainOnFire.net site was inoperable, due to an error at my hosting company, NetFirms. I have switched to a new host, NearlyFreeSpeech.net, which has more features yet is less expensive. One of the features is the Apache module mod_rewrite, which allows me to have prettier URLs. (Luckily, the old-style URLs still work, so existing links to this site won't break.)

If you sent me email in the past week and didn't receive a reply, I may not have received it, so consider resending it.

Aaron Mahler has inspired me to start posting photographs to my blog.

I'll start with a made-for-desktop closeup of a clematis blossom. It was intended as a reference picture so that I could identify the flower later, but it came out far better than I had intended. The iridescence was completely unexpected. As with all content posted to this site, this is released under a cc-by-sa-2.5 license, so copy away.
