[sdiy] Latvian export control issues

[Quincas Moreira]

You can buy a domain on godaddy for cheap (20 bucks) and set up a wix site
quickly and easily for cheap as well (look at mine: www.quincasmoreira.com)
You can have an excellent website in an afternoon and for the price of a
behringer guitar pedal ;)
