I sneak past vz's TOS about no servers by using port 85 cuz they block port 
80, but if I generate too much traffic on 85 they can shut me off.  Some of 
my more recent playtime messes can be seen at 
<http://gene.homelinux.net:85/gene/emc> though.

A blog I hadn't considered, but I'll look into suitable sw for that, we have 
several in various stages of usability I believe.

RAH was one heck of an author in his salad days.

"To Sail Beyond the Sunset" was his swan song though.  The knew his end was 
coming and it was close enough he'd lost the imaginary fire he'd had for 70 
years before that.
