Web host help

I'm thinking of leaving my current webhost (a thought that occurs several times a year as I encounter roadblocks in their service). I'm looking at DownTown Host right now, but I'm open to suggestion.

For about $100/year, I expect to have POP/SMTP support, as well as Perl/PHP and other CGI abilities. For some reason, Virtualave has gotten dumber and dumber over the past year or two that I've used them. Their email auto-responders no longer work, they claim POP and PHP but don't actually offer it, and so on.

New friend, old friend

An old friend has finally arrived at Livejournal, mcbarnes1970. Not the most creative of usernames, but at least he's consistent.

What is with that dog picture, though?

Site update

Finally trashed the cascading menu-tree metaphor for the site, replacing it with a frame-free DHTML-based menu system. Love that DHTML.

Anyway, hope it is easy to follow, I thought it worked pretty well. I even tested it in several browsers. It works in Opera, Netscape 6, IE, and Mozilla. Coolio.
