I am sure you were all mortified with my recent site outage!! I know I was. I would like to thank Greg Fox for pointing it out and [Evan][34] for helping me fix it.

I don't know the complete reason yet (need to do a little more research) but I do know that my firewall was denying all non-SSH connections. Why? I have two guesses. One, when I removed (not uninstall...remove!!) my firewall configuration tool sunShield, it left me in a bad state. Or two, when I disabled Apache 1.3, my port...

I have set up a picture gallery...the link is on the right. I also added some more pictures from our trip to San Jose/San Fran...most of the new ones are on page 2. We will be added more pictures as we scan them in. I will also be integrating it better into my site.

I also added back the pages that Christine created for our Africa trip. Unbelievably, the site is not done yet, but I am sure that Christine will get right on that!!

I have started to make changes to this site, so if it looks wonky or doesn't work, please try again later. I will endeavour to have it work most of the time, but I suck at HTML, CSS, etc so I will break things.

Be gentle.

As I am looking for some good design ideas, I found some nice sites. I really like the music thing from Joe's site and the I like the design of Quillo's site. Ideas, ideas, ideas.

Things I am going to do for sure:

• grab some polling software so that I can get your opinions.
• change the background colour. White is too bright.
• move the blog things to the right-hand side
• simplify site
