Welcome to Joz3d.net

Category: WebsiteJoz @ 1:32 am

Joz3d.net, the second revision of my homepage, is done. As anybody who knows me knows, I’m pretty much over the web, but the homepage was still out there representing Joz, and I hate removing content from the web causing Not Found pages, so I figured I might as well update it, and add some new stuff I’ve saved up that I could share with the world as well. This new design is very modular so any future updates/additions can be very easily plugged in.

Also I would like to say that I was pretty unhappy about having a domain just for my homepage, as I’m from the mid-90s times when that notion was ridiculous. My previous host, however, shut me down due to billing confusion and loss of contact (my fault), and said I could not have my old style account back since they discontinued that service a long time ago and were just being nice keeping me on it. If I wanted to have a site with them I’d have to sign up for the new 3x as expensive service they offer with a required domain name. So I researched other hosting options and almost everybody gives you a domain name. I couldn’t find a non-free provider that had a respectably short domain that would offer a not TOO difficult to remember URL. So I unhappily gave into current times and decided to just get the damn domain. Which pissed me off because I remember when joz.com was available in 1996! And now I basically had to get a domain and I couldn’t have joz.com, it was just a little frustrating. But anyway looking at it now I think I like joz3d.net better than joz.com in the end. Whatever.
