For a few years now, I've registered the domain names tetsuko.com and satinsteele.com, intending one day to use those as the URLs for dedicated web sites for these two characters. Finally, last night, I bit the bullet and set up web hosting for the Tetsuko domain.

I'm trying out a new hosting service, NearlyFreeSpeech.NET, for this site. Their pricing structure - the lowest I've seen per unit of storage and bandwidth and based on actual usage - makes it economical for me to start a new site, and if I like their service and reliability, I may migrate the main site (DCM Studios Online) to the new host.

For right now, there's only a notice saying that the content at the current Tetsuko site will be moved to the new digs soon, and linking back to the current site and to my page here at deviantART. But it's a promising start, I think.

(What really sold me on NearlyFreeSpeech.NET, in addition to their pricing, is their commitment to the freedom of expression of their clients. Their FAQ lists the question "Do you allow adult content?" and their one-word answer: "Yes." The Terms of Service for practically every other webhosting service I've ever read have either banned it outright, or prevaricated so much on what was permissible that their attitude seemed to be "We'd really really rather you didn't, and we'll take down your site if we get any complaints." Even with my current host for DCM Studios Online, I worry a little every time I post something like this [link] - and I don't even draw a lot of really explicit stuff!)

So check out Tetsuko's very own website!



I'd like to express my deepest gratitude to everyone who gave their condolences on the loss of our cat Booger. Your messages of sympathy and empathy have been very helpful. And Pepper (the increasingly-less-"tiny terror") has kept the house from feeling empty, and gives us another cat to love on.

Please know that, even if I can't thank you personally, your watches, faves and comments are always very much appreciated!

"This is the dirty untold secret of The Matrix: Not that we'll be enslaved by machines who hook us up to a virtual reality to keep us pacified, but that we'll plug ourselves in voluntarily. If you don't think this will ever happen, you've obviously never played World of Warcraft (or known someone who has)." -John Scalzi
