The impossible often has a kind of integrity to it which the merely improbable lacks.

about electric-monk.net
So, what is electric-monk.net?
electric-monk.net is a small, privately-owned collection of sites, hosted out of the third bedroom of the husband/wife pair of Matt (your friendly sysadmin) and Lise (your sometimes grumpy webmistress). We run a few fansites, offer website hosting and email services for people we like, make costumes, and fight crime--sometimes all at once.
What's on electric-monk.net?
All of the action happens on the subsites, which are accessible from the main page. You will find a number of fansites hosted on e-m.net, because we are all fans at heart. In the days of yore, there was content on the main site itself (some of the more amusing content still is available here), but now it mostly serves as an index and placeholder.
Did this used to be slashmistress.net?
It did. And due to a snafu that would take me far too long to relate--coupled with a desire for a domain name change--it is no longer. Please reset your bookmarks accordingly.
What does the name mean?
It's a reference to the Douglas Adams book Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency.
Will you host me?
Unlikely.
I want to know more, more about the geeky inner workings of e-m.net. Muah hah hah!
sm.net is run by my husband, Matt, and me. Mostly him; I know enough Unix to avoid removing the entire file system recursively, and I can write a mean PHP script (not really), but that's about it. The machine that runs e-m.net is the remnants of an old computer running Fedora Core 2. Our bandwidth is cable service (7.0 Mbps down/800 Kbps up) provided by RCN. This is all operating out of our third bedroom in our apartment in the Boston suburbs.
Who are the mad geniuses behind sm.net?
Me, otherwise known as Lise. And my monkey clones, of course. Turn ons: computers, anime, costuming, geek love. Turn offs: fangirls, Searle, cucumbers.
Also, my husband, Matt. Mmmmm, he's a lovely crossdresser. He's also taught me everything I know about computers.
We host bunches of people. Again, the entrance page will tell you more about them.
Please contact Lise (risuko AT electric DASH monk DOT net) if you have any further questions about electric-monk.net.
