About langille.org

Given that my surname is Langille, I created this domain for personal use. I've given out a few email addresses to family and others named Langille. If you are a Langille and would like a subdomain or an email address under langille.org (e.g. https://Mike.Langille.org/ or mike at langille.org), please let me know and I'll see what I can do.  Some names may be already taken, but try and see what you can get. But please note that all decisions are final.

Please send all queries to domain at langille.org

thanks

I also have a blog.
