Look what the horse dragged in...

Welcome to wanderinghorse.net, the central online home of Stephan Beal.

FYI: as of 2024-01-02 http (but not https) access to this server, including all sister sites, has been disabled in an attempt to reduce bandwidth wastage from bots (which more than tripled between June and December of 2023).

As of late April 2026 this site, including all related subdomains, is configured to shut down completely when swarmed en masse by bots, so intermittent outages are to be expected. Crawling it is fine, but hitting it with 20+ bots at a time is not. The site will recover once it recognizes that the swarm has given up and moved on.

Steve's Laws...

Steve's Law of the Internet: If you're bored and have internet access, you're not using the internet properly.

Steve's Law of Studies: For every study there is an equal and opposite study.

Steve's Law of Cooking: A watched pot never boils, but an unwatched pot invariably boils over.

Steve's Law of Innocuous Posts: No matter how well-intentioned or innocuous any given internet posting may be, someone will take offense to it and let the poster know so.

Steve's Law of Internet Recipes: ask the internet for any given recipe and you'll be provided with variants containing and not containing dog meat.

Steve's Law of Shipment: the most reliable way to ensure that a shipment will arrive on a given date is to make an unrelated appointment for the desired date which will require one to be away from home.
