    Finished converting the tools section over to regular HTML indices served via Apache, rather than glorified gopher menus served via GN. Gave the section a new name: The Hyperreal Tool Shed (this was very important) and made a tools@hyperreal.com alias for people to write to for support. There's still going to be some tweakage.
