See http://jntk.freehostia.com/wordpress where I've transfered this blog over! It's a new subdomain - the entire site is a work in progress - but I hope to specifically have the blog more functional in the coming weeks.
Artist's Notes

My blog contains links and information relating to computers, new technology, and computer security.
