Link address change for my stuff

I got a note today that someone could not get to my pages. Investigating 
lead to finding out they have implemented a new rule in the internet. 
The first part of the address, the part that gets to the right server, 
cannot contain a underscore. Appears it violates the protocol of some 
software that's no longer used! They suggest going to a hyphen, just 
like when I started making webpages and the recommendation was 
underscore instead of hyphen. All because they were too dumb to allow 
spaces.

Anyway frog_recordist violates the new rule and eventually all 
nameservers will throw back a automatic error on looking at it.

To get that name, I had to set up a email address with my ISP. They 
would then assign webspace to the name. It's a awkward system they 
caught me with 3 months ago when they broke our space up into 10 meg 
chunks. So, I went through all that and uploaded all 7.5 megs of stuff 
again under a new name frogrecordist   let's see them make that illegal.

If you have bookmarked any of my pages or individual stuff with 
frog_recordist in the link, remove the underscore to make the new name 
and it should work. My future links will go there. Here's the new links 
to the recent stuff I mentioned:

If anything fails, let me know. I left up the old part for now, but will 
eventually remove it. My main frogsite was not hit, but I updated the 
links in the info page there to go to the new mic addresses.

Now I think it's time to write a nice note to the standards folks, do it 
legal, no spaces. Seehowtheyliketryingtoreadandfigureoutjustwhatwesaid.
