Possible Relocation to Google Sites

I'm very happy that I have finally published my first chapter of Section II. I hope that it is well recieved and stimulating. Of coarse there still is plenty more to be written.

As I said before, I want to try to finish section II. Section II will contain 3 more chapters ( 4 chapters total ) that will cover everything from scientific notation SI prefixes and the illion series. Given the amount of time that it took me to get this far, and assuming I am not unduly delayed, I might finnish Section II some time in April of 2009.

I intend to continue to support this site as much as I can, but there are considerable obstacles. One impending problem is that I am not entirely sure how permanent the very service I am using is. My website is part of the "Googlepages" service, which allows google users to create simple websites for free. A few months ago Google announced that it was going to discontinue "googlepages" sometime later this year in favor of another service "Googlesites". 2008 however is just about to close, and since that time google has not said much about it's plans. Their plans are rather ambiguous to me right now.

How might this effect this site ? If google did shutdown googlepages, my website would likely vanish. I would then be forced to reconstruct it elsewhere, which would take considerable time and effort. If you know of a good free service or someplace to find free webspace and would like to let me know you can email me. My email address is listed at the bottom of my homepage.

Regardless of what happens I want to try to construct a very comprehensive site on large numbers. It doesn't matter to me so much where it is.
