About

Everything here is intellectual property; don’t get hung up on the idea of copyright. Fair use is fair use, but steal my shit and I’ll see you in court.


Why do I have a web site? Well, it all started in one night in 2002 with the discovery that the .us registry had been opened to US citizens. I registered my name for future use but then figured I might as well put something out there.

DESIGN
This site was initially designed for SVGA settings (800×600 & > 256 colors), but VGA resolutions were taken into consideration in the layout. Coding is done using a combination of text editors and DreamWeaver and is tested for compatibliity with Internet Explorer 6.0, Safari 4.0, and Firefox 3.5. This site utilizes CSS stylesheets and Server Side Includes. Therefore, some pages may not update or display properly if saved, fetched, or viewed “off-line”.

UPDATES
Contact – In July and November 2010, I rewrote the Perl and JavaScripts that handle the contact form. There is a known issue with some versions of Mozilla FireFox where the DOM (document object model) is implemented differently than other browsers.
