Oh, its an almost blank page.

How lovely.

OK, lets try a browser the supports Flash.

The majority of the text is too small to read (and I mean that in a "I
really can't read it" way as opposed to the usual "Its uncomfortable to
read so I won't" way)..

The animation is distracting.

The suggestion to upgrade from Flash 7 to Flash 7 is silly.

The link to Get Flash 8 takes me to a page where I can download Flash
7,0,63,0

Its pretty. Entirely unusable, but pretty.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll work to resolve the Flash-centric nature
and iron out the quirks. It's good to see honest and useful feedback. I
am putting this site together in my very limited spare time.

cheers,

Ah, a blank page. Oh, it's Flash. Ugh. How do I get to the content if I
do not have a flash plugin (besides linking to the former ugly, but
viewable, site)?

Loading the flash:
- How do I stop all the squirming movement? Oh, disallowed.
- After a minute I finally discovered there are actually links. Oh, more
Flash.

I guess I will create an HTML friendly version noting an intense bias
against Flash sites. I'll also drop the nonsensical homepage animation,
since it seems to be distracting to most.

I fully appreciate the comments.

cheers

Normally I can't stand that kind of stuff,
but I'm sufficiently amused by its likeable
goofiness to overlook my normally more finely
honed sensibilities.
You're just lucky that I broke the Debianesque
rules and installed the flash player on my Ubuntu system
a couple of days ago.
