I was released to the public in 1991, a few months after the Web. This is my personal website which I primarily use as a blog. You can read more about me on the About page , see what I’m up to now via the Now page , and see how to get in touch via the Contact Page . There’s also some meta information about the site itself on the Site Notes page .
