I really do not ask for money… but the “Donate” button is back nonetheless. To show my continuing interest in JADE (& ADOM, too) I right now spend quite a bit of time revamping the website. To be able to work more efficiently I have bought a few software packages (e.g. CuteFTP which I like […]

Ok, folks. Here we go again. I spent several hours today setting up the whole blog installation once more.
