13 January 1998 -- RESURRECTION! I took a semester off from UNCG and was deleted from the university's server during my absence. I found it somewhat disconcerting to have my cyber-existence terminated. Fortunately, I had my files saved on floppies as well as on my hard drive, so restoring my web site was simply a matter of transferring my files back onto a server. (This also allowed me to continue working on my site pending access to a server.) Having owned computers for over eight years and having used them for over eleven, I know all too well the User's Mantra: "Save frequently. Back up always." Let that be a lesson to you, my children. I'm taking another semester off from UNCG, so I needed some place to put up my site. GeoCities is probably more "permanent," and I can't beat the price. It's not meanness; it's thrift!
