About Gruntled

Gruntled.com is my personal web site which I use to share information with the world at large. I currently distribute my (now old) RemoteRecord software and provide a collection of information on Dellorto carburetors for rotary engine applications.

Why Gruntled?

Here is a little history of how Gruntled came to be. I was having a (not so serious) conversation with a friend and the word disgruntled came up. Going on a tangent, I thought about the prefix dis and if the word gruntled existed. A quick search in the dictionary revealed, that yes indeed it was a word. We thought that was quite humerous. It was not long after this “discovery” that I needed a name for my personal web site. Gruntled became the obvious choice.
