About
Just a few simple things to say about this site, and about myself.
I firmly believe in function over form. Text is functional. I
know full well that not everyone sees the world the same way I do, but
if I had my way, I wouldn't even bother setting colors or headings. If
you ask me, plain text is all anyone really needs.
At the same time, I'm well aware that I need to present any information
on my web site in a professional manner, especially if I want anyone to
actually read the things I might put online. I had help with that here
from someone with
much
better design sense than I'd ever have on my own. I really do
like this layout.
I'm not terribly fond of graphics on web pages (unless they are
pictures of partially-clothed women). I spend over a decade on a
9600bps dialup connection to the internet, and I sympathize with
everyone who still lives in the dialup world. Graphics shall be kept to
a minimum, and will be thumbnailed if they're over 100kb when viewed at
full size.
