Open webmailSmall network services
A personal server for e-mail, open protocols, and experimenting with self-hosting.
This is Eric's website. A portal to the Information Superhighway with email, chat, links, music, mailing lists, and a few free-software services for friends and family.
Accounts are by invitation
If you know me and would like an account on one of these services, email eric@sns.gdn. This is a small personal server, not a commercial service, so I won't give you any guarantees about uptime or the like, but I like tinkering with computers, so it'll probably work most of the time, fingers crossed!

Why run things this way?
I prefer software and network protocols that give people more control over their own computing. The GNU Project describes free software in terms of the user's freedom to run, study, share, and change the program.
That does not mean every service here is public or available to everyone, just that the software is not proprietary.
