Ross Wm. Rader's Home Page

Welcome to my home on the web. This site represents the culmination of six years of procrastination. When I first hit the Internet in '94, I thought `Hey, gotta get a home page!'...which I sort of did, but I could never really keep up the maintenance on it. In '96, I realized that I better get a domain name for my website in case I ever switched ISPs - I registered the name, but I never switched ISPs :). Now, the day before the last year of this millennium, I've finally decided that I should probably get some content under my domain - squatters guilt I guess.

I currently work for TUCOWS.com as the director of the TUCOWS Names. TUCOWS Names encompasses all of TUCOWS domain name and DNS related products and services including Domain Direct and OpenSRS, the largest wholesaler of domain names on the Internet.

OpenSRS is successful due to the efforts of the individual ISPs, coders, hosting companies and many other people that contribute their time and energy to the project. In an effort to give a little bit more, I have taken it upon myself to act as the coordinator for the bits of unofficial code and functionality that float around. Until now, there has been no central repository that I'm aware of. More info here...

RANTS...
02/16/2k - Is it just me or is the web getting worse? I mean, how much more microtype and Arial can we put up with as a race? Don't designers know what they are doing to our eyesite? Don't they realize how cliched Arial/Verdana/Helvetica really is? Not too mention tables, tables, tables everywhere. Sort of like the one that this comment is in...;)
Till next time.
