My tardiness in updating this page has provoked outrage in my readership community of one, and so I feel the time for such is ripe. Of course, I have been updating Trivial Hacks all along, though I guess nobody noticed.
\n\nBut, tardiness or not, I do have an excuse. Hmm? Yes, I was getting to that. It's simply that I've been too busy setting up my company, Ursetto Consulting, Inc. That's right — Ursetto Consulting, Inc. Check it out, if you dare.
\n\nOtherwise, not much has changed. The Esperanto page is still crusty. There's no Spanish page at all. The links... don't get me started. I haven't even changed the musical intro in years, by Crikey. But who cares? You love me anyway. So stay tuned to this space for more exciting updates, such as the new Music section and the rather explicit Searches page.
\n\t\n\t\n\tThe fates have once again conspired to have me update my home page. Let's see... at this rate, the next update should arrive in January, 2002. Unlike the reconstructive surgery of '98, I don't have too much to add this time around; but the comment about this page being rather crumbly around the edges was itself getting stale. As I'm sure that comment will be in a year or so.

\nChange-wise, 24601.html now reflects the fact that I graduated, and this welcome page has obviously been rewritten. Or is it obvious? I'll have to check the weblogs to see if I got any hits in the last two years.
The Esperanto version of this page is rather outdated. This is because I haven't studied the language for a while, so I can't update it without introducing gibberish. On the flip side, this site might sport a brand new Spanish page soon. A boy can dream...
\n\t\n\t\n\n\tI'd been neglecting my page for quite a while and so it'd become rather crumbly around the edges, much like a lemon cookie. So I decided that, instead of writing a paper, I'd do some autumn cleaning. The result is not quite done but I've got all the previous \"content\" back on line, in a much more palatable format.

\nI've finally produced Esperanto versions of this page and the navigation bar; eventually I plan to esperantize the entire site. I used the Latin-3 (iso-8859-3) encoding, so you'll need the proper fonts to view it. In Netscape, I use the TrueType font Times SudEuro; you can also get a whole bunch of Latin-3 TrueType fonts in one package from ftp.stack.nl. There's more information about Esperanto on the web (and elsewhere) at www.esperanto-usa.org.

\nBy the way, the Esperanto version of this page isn't a straight translation; you'll have to learn the language to see what it says :) Don't worry, it only takes a few weeks to understand a reasonable amount, and less time if you're willing to use a dictionary constantly. In my case, my Esperanto totally cremates my Japanese, and I've studied Japanese for much longer. The proof of this is that there's no way I could write a non-trivial page in Japanese at this point. QED.
