The first author of this site was Brandon Goff of Babylon Communications, for 2000 it was rewritten by our own Mary Loving. Much of their work has been recycled into this years site (thanks!) Rich Brown is the 2001 webmaster and system admin.
This site should work with whatever browser you are using. See the any browser campaign for
assorted tirades on why this is important.
W3C's CSS validator and
CAST's Bobby are used
occasionally to see if the pages comply with net standards. Not that they
always pass, but at least I'm aware of where the failings are ;-)
This site is edited using the hyper advanced editors 'vi' and 'pico'. Many of the new graphics here are products of the GNU Image Manipulation Program -- highly recommended. The server is Apache running under Linux on a very old no-name Pentium PC.
Spare CPU time -- over 1.5 years so far -- is donated to the Search for
Extraterrestrial Intelligence project. Here's
how we're doing now.
