You have reached one of the old pages on this site

I switched from Blogger to Movable Type on September 7, 2003. This page was made before that time. I'm keeping it here so that incoming links and bookmarks still work. No problem, really, just be aware that these old pages will not be updated.

All of the old content was moved into Movable Type, and is accessible from the home page. We now returned to your regularly-scheduled blog.

This just in. This week's Volunteer Tailgate Party is up.

It's been a year since Dave Winer quit smoking. Go give him some love. I stopped polluting my temple about five years ago using Zyban (generic name wellbutrin). It helps tremendously with the cravings.

Another milestone: the Unisys patent on LZW compression expires today. Among other things, LZW compression is used in GIF images like most of the pictures on this site.

Which Les Jones are you?

I'm the good-looking one.

In the early days of the web around 1994 someone did a WebCrawler search for "les or leslie or lesley or lester jones" and made a mailing list. There were hundreds of us.

I graduated Maryville (TN) High School and the University of Tennessee, Knoxville (with a degree in biology). I worked for U.S. Internet until about a year after the IPO, and now work as an e-commerce manager in Knoxville. I was the author and owner of the award-winning 56K.COM from 1997 to 2003.
