Welcome to mainecoon.com, redux.

The previous version of this site is still available, but most of the information contained in it is literally five-plus years old. It may also behave a little odd, given that it's sharing some pages with this version of the site. Use at your own risk.

If you're looking for information on Maine Coon cats you've arrived at the wrong place. While we're facile with the breed we're not breeders; the domain name is a consequence of having a particularly bitchy Maine Coon take issue with being moved off the keyboard when were trying to come up with a name eons ago. If you're looking for general information on the breed you might try the Cat Fancier's Maine Coon FAQ or the CFA Maine Coon breed profile.

Are you a recepient of a "Possible voice from the past" email? If so (or if you just want to know how much information a not too terribly clever pile of code glued together over a weekend can fuse together about you from public sources on the Internet) you can learn more about this experiment here.

18 Oct 05 New site released. Hopefully maintenance will occur at least somewhat more often than it has in the past.

Navigation

This time around we're going for simple, meaning no frames and trying to limit navigation to forward, back, up and home. It this proves to be intractable we'll change it, but for the moment that's the plan. To that end, here are places you might consider visiting within the site:

Information on our public NTP servers can be found here. You'll want to check here if you believe that machines from our class C are running UDP port scans on you; invariably this is because you inherited the DHCP lease of someone who was clueless or someone on your network (possibly you) didn't understand what they were doing configuring their client.
Google seems to have indexed pages of our four oven Aga being assembled. We've been living with our Aga for a bit over four years now; our Aga page gives our impressions of it (the short form is "once you get the fu of it the thing rocks beyond words") as well as more infomation on what to expect when yours arrives and how to get used to cooking on it. Safety tip: dinner rolls left in the back of the roasting oven for three weeks will be converted to dinner-roll-shaped approximation of carbon aerogels.
These are our individual personal pages. This is where you want to go if you want to know about us (individually and collectively), including our professional interests, avocations and the obligatory photos.
The classiccmp archive of DEC schematics are here. There is something just wrong about a DG guy hosting DEC schematics, but that's the way it worked out.
If you're feeling voyeuristic, you can poke at the lab webcam. It may be pointed at Chris, at some collection of felines or out one of the windows. Sunrises can be quite nice.

Contact

At the moment we're chris at mainecoon.com and jenny at mainecoon.com. Sorry for the lack of direct email links, but even with a phalanx of spam filters it makes no sense to provide more fodder for the spambots.

Enjoy your stay. Polite comments and questions on material presented here are welcome.
