Rsync.net site redesign (rsync.net)

It's really confusing to use even if you just want to look for some basic information, it also comes with the, apparently now obligatory, overwritten scroll behaviour that is a pain to use.


This site would be perfect as a plain text website with pertinent information easily available.

It is easy to design simple, textual content that is still aesthetically pleasing; print has been doing it for more than a century.

I dislike this new web design framework junk (especially vertical overlay scrolling) as much as I disliked the Flash abuse of the late 90's early 2000's in the design community (Praystation, True is True, K10K, etc.).

I really want to channel a little Adolf Loos here and say "all ornamentation is bad and useless."

That said, their service is really cool. Prices are pretty good, and I love that I'm not beholden to a web UI for it.

I might just use them for backups for our district.
