grand reopening

New location, same erratic service!

The old address (ogre.nu) should work as a redirect until that domain expires on March 28.

the domain of cheapness

When I registered my domain, about 1998, .nu was the cheapest registry. It’s now €30/year. Before renewal is due (March 28) I should move to a cheaper address. (Yeah, I said the same two years ago. This time around, I have more lead-time and more motivation.)

I’d prefer something shorter than antonsherwood.name; any suggestions? Naturally ogre.* is long gone.
