Where Am I?
You've just reached leafnode.net. This domain is a personal server for Arnab Chowdry, a graduate student in the Biophysics program at UC Berkeley. Like all personal websites, it is filled with marginally useless information about myself, my friends, my hobbies and my interests. In fact, its more than just marginally useless, its completely useless.
Where is this hosted?
This page is hosted off of my personal computer at the lab. Because of this, you can expect that it won't always be up and running. I often restart my computer for various reasons, but otherwise it is on 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
There are no bandwidth restrictions, no space requirements and no rules that I care about. I only hope that Berkeley's security policy doesn't prohibit such personal websites.
I was looking for another site, where is it?
There are a couple of other sites that are hosted on the same computer as leafnode.net. This website is the default one, so if your web browser is old, or not a standard one and sent improper header information, you will see this page instead of the one you may have expected.
The only solution I can suggest is to update your browser or try going to the other site again. I recommend Firefox or Internet Explorer 6.
This site looks strange in my browser, fix it!
This site is compliant with all W3C requirements and recommendations for XHTML and CSS-based layout. While this does tie my hands as far as how nice the site can look (CSS has serious layout limitations, even if the experts tell you otherwise), it also means that this site is viewable from any standards-compliant web-browser.
Of course, as the history of the internet would have it, there is no such thing as a standards compliant web-browser (there never has been). If this site looks wrong, to you, then perhaps you should consider upgrading your browser to one of the two I identified above. While neither is perfect, they both do a fine job rendering this and many other sites on the internet.
