My projects are generally inspired by classic designs, but with a twist. I like to build things like basses on guitar bodies, non-standard scale lengths, and occasionally originals, and experiment with materials, finishes, and electronics. One of my great interests is driving the cost out of luthiery by sourcing parts and materials from the hardware store. I prefer to build more guitars than simply more-expensive guitars.
Yesterday, two 'tech supports' lied to me about almost everything. The solution that I came up with worked for a few hours, but then a real sysadmin must have noticed it, because it stopped working today. Unfortunately, if you look at the list of hosting companies that EIG has gobbled up over the years, the only other game in town is GoDaddy, and I'm not going there. These are the new Robber-Barons.
