July 2004 marks the transition of our servers from one major national brand to another, lesser-known but more-compelling service provider.

Unfortunately, due to some undesirable behavior on the part of my content management system, I had to export and then re-import all of the data for this site. As a result, the archive pages have ended up being renumbered. They are still in sequential, chronological order... but deleted pages are now completely gone, and it is their absence that has caused the renumbering.

This site has been indexed by a number of search engines over the years, and I notice that we get many, many hits every day from people who find essays here by using those search engines. Because of the archive renumbering, many folks visiting this site looking for an essay on gingiva grafts or a movie review of The Lord of the Rings could instead find my treatise on fuzzy set theory or photos of our beautiful child.

If this has happened to you, please fear not. The essay you are seeking is nearby, just a few pages back.

At the top of each individual archive page, there are links to the previous entry, the home page (the link says "main"), and the following entry. Simply click on the previous entry a few times, and you should arrive at the entry that you came here to find.

I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. In the meantime, though, I hope you'll have fun looking around this site!
