*A Bit of History*
In 1999, the year before I retired, I wanted to learn how to build
websites, so I bought a book and an old second hand computer that used the
Linux operatng system. After a lot of failures I managed to get
RoyWilson.net <http://roywilson.net/> up and running.... and it's
still up today! I asked the unit board if they would like a website, and
they said, "Sure, as long as it doesn't cost anything!" So, I own it
but
I limit the site to bridge topics and let the board put announcements here.
In 2016 I finally learned how to add a counter to keep tabs on how many
players visit this site... (I'm a bit slow, but I get there!) Friends, as
I write this, the total number is very close to 1,000,000 ! Very soon we
will go over that awsome number. (You can check the number at the
top-right side of the screen, or you will find it very close to the bottom
on the left side.)
Friends, I am now 90 years old... Unless someone replaces me, this website
will go away soon. I am quite willing to teach someone to be the
webmaster, but the qualifications are not easy... you will have to be a
bridge player, and either know HTML code or be willing to learn it, and
some knowledge of the Linux operating system - and it really helps to have
some writing ability. I will volunteer to teach you, and I think we can
get the Unit Board to buy you a new webserver - but we will have to install
Linux.
