Pi's Home Page
Welcome to my new website! I have not yet finished moving the content from my old website, Pi Rules.com, over to this site. I am planning on keeping my old website running for a while since many of its hits are from bookmarks. Some links will probably be broken, but I'll hopefully get the main pages done soon.
Unlike my old website, I built this one from scratch so I could learn more about designing websites. As a result, I am very interested in knowing what you think about it. If you have any comments, please go to this page to contact me.

This section contains some common errors and how to fix them including:

Extensions
I have written a few extensions, one of which (gContactSync) was originally created for my Google Summer of Code project.- gContactSync - Synchronizes your Google Contacts with Address Books in Mozilla Thunderbird 2 and 3.

Programs
I enjoy programming in my spare time, so I will post my programs as I write and update them. My programs so far include:
- Password Generator - Creates a secure password for websites
- Password Bin - Beta - Generates secure, random passwords and safely stores your login information in an encrypted file.
- Base Converter - Beta - Converts numbers from one base (radix) to another up to base 36.
