Welcome to the Arnopolis!

The main topic is Arno Porter - Arno Xenophon Porter, to be precise - now five years old, and his extended family and friends. Your narrator is usually his father, Bert Porter; occasionally Arno's mother, Bettina Porter.

Other topics appear once in a while. This page is the central location for discovering new neighborhoods and light rail routes in Arnopolis.

Apparently, there is a village called Arnopolis on the Peloponnesus in Greece.

Miscellaneous

My preferred browser these days is Google Chrome. It loads faster than Firefox, and that can make a significant difference on a netbook. In fact, I'm getting more and more into the Google ecosystem. Bettina and I both switched over to gmail, to give us flexibility if we decide someday to change internet providers, and to give us access to our mail from any internet-connected machine. I've started using Google docs instead of OpenOffice. At work, we use Guice. And 2011 might be the year to start working on Android instead of (or in addition to) Windows.
