The documents linked here are all ones which should be on my regular
hobby website at:
www.CircuitousRoot.com.
I'm currently more or less out of space there, though, so I'm parking
them here, on a friend's server, temporarily.
I'm working on getting essentially unlimited server space, and when I
do these will all move to the regular site - so don't link to them here
as they'll move.
Everything here is, to the best of my knowledge, in the public domain
in the U.S.
