About this website

A few things you might notice while surfing this website and a bit of my alleged philosophy:

  • It's mostly text, no weird and wonderful graphics to slow your computer down. The information available here is the important thing. If you want entertainment, there's plenty around elsewhere. Not only does it save me a lot of time and trouble programming all that glitsy junk, it's also a lot easier for people with vision problems to read stuff on this website.
  • Privacy - I don't subscribe to any kind of tracking services to harvest email addresses nor do I have any intentions of digging into my beer fund to pay someone to find out if you've visited my website from Booneystan or from just down the road. Should you want to email me, I got better things to do than collecting names and addresses and hoping to sell them.
  • Cookies - I love them, especially macaroons or oatmeal and raisin. When it comes to computers though, I think it's plain bad manners for anyone to assume it's OK for them to use my computer without my permission. I'm guessing you might feel the same way so this website does not generate cookies.
  • Pop-up, pop-under windows - naw, I don't like them either. If stuff keeps popping up or under while surfing this website you better check out your machine because this website is not causing them - Ad Aware is a fabulous piece of freeware that'll help you clean your computer.
  • Java - a neat programming language. But, you a here to visit my website - not to let me take control of your computer with my funny stuff. There are a few exceptions: the funky mouse-overs, page hit counters and a couple more. Nothing happens to your computer or mine when you do it. A few people told me they couldn't see them, or the letters weren't there so I added the regular text buttons so everyone can get to the places they want to go.
  • Flash - pretty neat stuff but since a lot of folks have turned off that feature on their browsers...
  • It has taken me many many hours to put all of the information on this website together. Considering most all of it is free, gratis, no charge - if there's anything in particular you like or dislike, I'd appreciate it if you would drop me a line to let me know.
  • Tinnitus really sucks - I truly hope this is not the reason for your visit. If it is, here's hoping you'll find some comfort.
  • Banjo - a passion in life for me. I've worked out a lot of arrangements in three finger and clawhammer styles at various levels of skill. If your level of skill improves because of things you learn here, or get inspired by - I'd be ever so delighted and grateful if you'd send me an autographed copy of your CD...
  • Emailing me - If you want to email me for whatever reason, I'm one of them old fashioned stick-in-the-mud wackos to whom good manners are important. A "Hi Bart" to start your message and telling me your own name at the end of it does wonders to your chances of getting a reply. You might want to skim over my other email pet peeves.

Thanks for dropping by and enjoy your visit,

Bart Veerman.
