As matters stand, I expect to be free for some serious MM/JSW activity in November and December. Like I said, I hope to make inroads into my backlog of playing gamma-released MM/JSW games, but beta-testing would take priority over that.
I have decided to rehost my website at Sqweebs: a free web-host that gives me 20,000 MB of storage-space - no more struggling with GeoCities' 15 MB limit! :-)
http://abroad.sqweebs.com/
I'm now in the process of transferring my website file by file to the new site, which is very time-consuming, because I want to improve every page on the site (to ensure that the HTML is valid, that it conforms to the Web-Content Accessibility-Guidelines as far as feasible, that the English is up to my current standards, and to fix all the broken links).
Right now, I'm in the middle of transferring the Computer Science section of my website, then I'm going to do Music, Spectrum and Tennis in that order, with the goal of completing the transfer before GeoCities closes on 26th October.
