Hmmm...I guess I forgot to mention my homepage.

Over here at PUC, something in the network is messed up and we can't see the other dorms on the network. So, a student wrote a little thingy that enables the students to see everyone that is one the network. That is my homepage. :)

Alright, who's the party pooper who POOF'd my homepage link? I won't set it back as I do not want to further the downfall of the culprit's dismal sense of humor. :P
