Python Community Server now easier to join

Up until now, it's been fairly difficult to join my Python Community Server. You had to install a copy of Radio, go to a config page, enter a new server URL, then register a new user.

Now, you can just download the installer (for Windows), run it, and sign up as usual. You'll end up with a nice shiny new account on pycs.net.

But wait, there's more! If you send me an e-mail, I'll give you a nicer URL, like www.pycs.net/foo rather than www.pycs.net/users/0000099. As Rogers Cadenhead mentions, PyCS is still the only public Radio host that lets you have non-numeric URLs.
