About this website

Most of this website is marked up according to W3C standard HTML 4.01. For laying out pages, I use Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). This means that in order to view the pages as they were intented, you must use a fairly recent browser. Opera 8, MSIE 7, Firefox 1.5 and Safari 1.2 (and later) all works reasonably well. Older browsers (e.g. Netscape 4) will munge the formatting. I've tried to make sure that the pages at least are readable with old browsers, but YMMV.

Some older portions of the site still use depreciated (transitional) HTML, but they shall be converted into HTML 4.01 Strict as soon as I can find the time to do it.

About the tools

The tools used to maintain this website include the Gnu emacs text editor, John Bradley's xv and Adobe Photoshop CS graphics editors, Larry Wall's Perl for server side CGI-scripts, PHP for active server pages and for interfacing to MySQL, DocBook and Saxon for creating structured documents, and large amounts of hot China Black tea.

No bits were harmed while making this site.
