Naturally, mine is http://forums.cricketmx.com/index.php :P
Although I did have the default Mozilla page for a while because I couldn't be bothered changing it :lol:

What does everyone else here have as their homepage?

I put this together as a fast-loading page with links to pages that Mrs. Nesman and I use. It's a bit outdated but it still works.

I had been using finitesite.com (decent free host) but lately I've had a little trouble getting the page to come up. Nearly Free Speech is, well, nearly free and has some nice options. :)

Edit:
New, shorter address on my domain: Home page

my home page is: http://www.google.ca/
Sometimes when you cry... no one sees your tears.
Sometimes when you are worried... no one sees your pain.
Sometimes when you are happy... no one sees your smile.

I might have to change mine back to Google. At the moment, once I start up the computer, Firefox is very slow to load (~3 or 4 min) and I have this habit of repeatedly double clicking it even though I know it doesn't help :D

This means I end up with half a dozen browser windows, and all of my new posts are lost.

Long story short, this wasn't a problem when Google was my homepage :lol:

I recently updated my startpage. I've added favicons to the links for the pages.
http://nesman.afraid.org/layout28/fav.html

Some of the links are outdated, so I really need to update. Also, not every site uses a favicon, so I probably cause a lot of 404's to show in people's error logs. ;)

I've thought of moving a copy of the images to the server so they don't try to load forever when a random site is down, but that's not very much fun. I think I'll try to put the images together into a single file and use css to pick the right one for display.

Not incredibly useful, but I think it's a neat trick.

I don't, but a friend of mine has an iPod Touch that I've played with. Neat toy, but I'm pretty sure I'd drop one in the toilet while reading if I had one.

Oh okay :P

I was going to say that if you did, I'm sure you would have a lot of fun rearranging the different web links and app links on the home page of the phone.

Image ( <---- not mine )

The images are sort of like the favicons, but a bit larger. I wish on the panel at the bottom there was room for 5... I have had to sacrifice the Mail button to fit in Phone, SMS, Safari and iPod :(
