(Who the heck else would want it??)
Online since really early 2000.
Me at work. Not my circus. Not my monkeys. I just get free tickets and even
paid to watch the show.

It used to be when I thought about a personal web site for little old me the only things that came to mind were all of those nasty invasion of privacy issues and stories like Fatal Attraction. But when I realized that anyone could type my name into a couple of search engines on the Internet and end up with enough information about me to knock down my front door with a cruise missile, that the NSA already knew how many clean pairs of underwear were in my closet, and that the likelihood of Glenn Close chasing after me was rather slim, I figured what the heck, ya gotta go sometime. And besides, who better to spread rumors around about me than me?
The most mudane drivel on the Internets for over 24 years! The domain www.greschke.com was registered on January 10th, 2000. Gee. It seems like just a hundred years ago.

This web site has been around for a while. It's gotten a bit out of date --
both the parts you can see and the parts you can't. When the site was maintained
with Microsoft FrontPage everything was easy and life was good. The HTML code
was crap (I know that now), but life was good. Now I'm converting it over to the
"modern" way of doing things by figuring out HTML/CSS without knowing
a margin-left from an SSI #include, and by using a lot of manual labor (I
mean First-World Manual Labor for you ditch diggers out there). That's me
above. Things will be missing and/or look bad and/or just be a bit of a mess
for a while. Once I get everything completely messed up I'll concentrate on
getting things caught up. I should finish before I'm dead.
Since I was going to be fiddling with every page in the site I decided to
change the look a bit. So in revolt of the "flat", ugly, mess Apple,
Inc. has made of iOS8 and Yosemite (starting with iOS7, which I call pOS7
-- piece of stuff you find in a toilet, 7) I've replaced the old borders around
the pictures with drop shadows. If you are appalled by the new look and feel
of iOS7/8/Yosemite then you'll understand. Plus I had to learn the CSS for
doing drop shadows anyway. This amazing 'special effect' may not show up in
older versions of Internet Explorer. Get a Mac.
2021-09-01: Pretty much finished with the old stuff. Still a few sections
to work on. Now I have to get some things caught up.
Just go to Google and search for "Greschke":

What the...!? You guys quit surfin' the Net and get back to work!
Because no one in their right mind would pay to advertise here this is an
(adfreeblog.org)
Like all good sites this one is perpetually under construction.
(Too bad it's not snow. Too bad it's not snow...I like snow.)
I park this domain at Hover.com, which used to be Domain Direct. Nice folks.
They're Canadian, so of course they're nice.
However, it used to be cheaper and you got more when it was Domain Direct,
so I'm beginning to move things to GoDaddy.com which is a big, faceless corporation,
but they seem to be pretty nice so far. Their bots always thank me when I
give them money.
As of December 2019 the site itself (i.e. the HTML pages)
is hosted by A2 Hosting, instead of one of the servers where I work.
This website is maintained using a Python program I wrote, Emacs, the reload
button on a Safari web browser, Transmit (an FTP client from panic.com),
an Apache webserver on my laptop for testing, and sweat.
