Welcome! In 1993 there were 130 Web sites. Mine was one of them. This blurb tells you a little about me.

I tune your online publications, blending what you do with what the Net does for you. I combine journalism with systems analysis to help you build a clear, navigable, information-rich site.

When we work together, I flatten your learning curve by providing the editorial and technical background essential to delivering a relevant message. Whether you run GNU-Linux/Unix, Microsoft, Mac, or a multi-platform toolchain, I am on your side. I don't talk like a press release and I don't shill for vendors and call it consulting. I shape your content to crisply convey your ideas.

Once you're ready to realize the full potential of your blog, site, publication, archive, or reference complex, contact me. I'll make all of your pages fit to serve.

FAQ About What's

policy 		Visit

  • Announcements (recent announcements): "Order returns at absolute zero." .
  • The word: Too many sites are unfocused pieces of slack content on public display. Think loading up on technology solves these problems? Think again. Misspellings, fractured syntax, fuzzy exposition, and incongruous artwork leave any project looking illiterate. Great Webs grow only when good editors work hard to make them make sense. Get The William Paul Fiefer FAQ to see why quality content is essential to quality communications.
  • Clips (more clips): How do "fast and cheap" contribute to higher quality? When you build software under Heavy Rotation. Are Web graphics effective? Only after you realize that images are everything. Once the machines are always online, let every device be a server! The Good Web™ outlines the publication of a scalable personal site.
  • What's new (and the What's new archive): When what you want is what you have, then what you have is all you need. An infrequently revised collection of shirttails, evergreens, and polemic.
  • Sour grapes: Naked as the eyes of a clown – the parable of the humble consultant. Strange and true: In 1975 I built the first paper PDA (`Hipster' is a stupid word); in 1977, I built the first mountain/cross bike using Sturmey-Archer gearing, a Campagnolo-Cinelli track group, Brooks leather, Nishiki chrome-moly, and cheap fat rims; in 1996, I broadcast the Net's first blogs and briefs. You've done the same, too. All these ideas are recycled concepts.
  • Security: Verify my digital signature if you have something by me ..... You might want to know why I'm on a list of known arms traffickers along with several persons from MIT, Bell Labs, and IBM. You'll be surprised to learn it makes good sense for you to be on this list, too. Note: As of September 16, 1999, this list is closed. U.S. restrictions on strong cryptography have been relaxed.
  • Vox: ICQ: 164660996; IMx: wfiefer; IRC (guess); EpicElectricFuck!™; CruelDirtyMouth™.
  • Menagerie: Credits for image and audio quotations reside at the page footer where the work appears. This page's announcements and featured dogear change often, more so when the breeze snaps. Slashed by new jumps? Then hip me the words, pictures, or sounds you want doped and chime the stick they blow. Otherwise, browse, dig, and ball.

Each moment, only once. Do not contact me asking which one is Brownie.
