I hereby volunteer to help the author set up a word press blog. Interesting stuff, but worst web page ever.

There was no email address on that web site, so maybe someone could forward my offer please.

It's not that hard to read. Plain is good - though it does look rather awkward on my widescreen.

Copy and paste the text into Word or OpenOffice if it's that bad :)

I didn't have a problem with the layout, since I tend to use lynx. I thought it was a shame, though, that the author isn't a better writer. The content is fascinating, but it took some effort to follow along. (I guess I'm too accustomed to PG and JS :)

good content, horrible presentation. (a fellow academic!)

Simply numbering the list (or bulleting it) would have been an enormous step forward, regardless of whether you use w3m or IE8. Even by conference-poster standards, this is pretty grim.
