Jason Lynch <jason@calindora.com> (Aexoden)

Hey there! The new version of this web site is almost ready for prime time. I just have a couple of months left of work to do. Almost everything has been transferred over, except for the No64 step routes and the more esoteric step routes. The step routes also aren't twin seed safe, yet. But if you want to play around with it anyway, head on over to ff4-beta.aexoden.com!
