This page is now hosted at http://www3.telus.net/public/millerlf/.

This page is perpetually under construction, just like every other web page on the net that isn't dead and obsolete. Of course this page could be dead and obsolete too and that status would simply include this paragraph.

This is really just another bookmark file for me.

Some of the material linked to from here may not be suitable for government officials and other easily offended and weak stomached entities.

My name may be familiar to some of you around Calgary who have owned modems for your PCs from the time before the Internet became a household term. I ran "Lloyd's Fido", a MS-DOS oriented Fidonet BBS, from 1986 to 1992. I shut the BBS down when I got interested in Linux and needed the phone line the BBS was using for larger things, like UUCP.
