More Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
This site is hosted by Kualo on servers based in the UK which run on electricity from renewable sources. My home, where I work, runs on energy from renewable sources supplied by Ecotricty. Almost all my work is done online and few things need to be printed, so my home office is more or less paperless. Generally I aim to use resources in the most efficent ways I can.
Omniglot was incorporated as a limited company in 2008. This sounds quite grand, but it is in fact a one-man opperation. There are currently no job vacancies and no courses are offered.
