Hi! You have just arrived at the website of ElScorcho! My philosophy (influenced by/borrowed from a friend) is to benefit others where possible, so I've removed much of the pointless stuff and included more useful stuff. If you have any comments or questions, please feel free to email me at jasonltang@gmail.com. If you have any criticisms or complaints, please see a psychiatrist before emailing ;)
