Web site notes:

(8/27/2006 - I managed to replace my index with a page for someone else of a house so some of my links that used to be here are not here right now, I have to find a back up copy on my disk when I get a chance and upload it later.)

8/28/2008 - Just finally updating the page, what is it about the end of August that makes me want to organize more.
