About This Blog:

I have had a website for quite a few years, mainly on free hosts using free domains (like your cjb dot net’s and so on), some of which still exist as ghost sites (see the tumble weeds bouncing along)…

Over the years, I have slowly moved to running the site on its own terms, first buying the domain djpalmer.com for a cheap price, followed by 500MB of server space in 2008.

The blog is hosted at Jumba, an Australian-owned and operated hosting provider, and is powered by Wordpress. The domain name is registered with Ireckon Domains.
