Changes In The Wind
Aardvark may be taking a break for the next few days as I work on the
"all new singing and dancing, bells and whistles, features-galore"
version of the site.
It's been a long time since I gave the site a makeover and since then
both the demands of the market and the technology used to deliver the
content has changed.
I have some ideas I want to try out and I'll be including them in the
new site -- but it's not too late for you to contribute any ideas
you might have.
Send me any suggestions and if there's a concensus
or if I think they're good, and time allows, I'll include them.
I hope you'll give me a few days to make the changes and that you'll be
pleased with the results.

There used to be a link jere to the Domainz news -- but since they changed the
site it seems there is no longer any such page -- and they haven't told me
whether they still want the service previously provided by Aardvark. Go figure.
