About the site:
I've written this whole site by hand coding rather than a WYSIWYG type program like Frontpage or one of the Macromedia suite in an attempt to learn HTML, XHTML, cascading style sheets, PHP, perl/CGI, and even to become more proficient with my text editor of choice - Vim.
You will notice I have a lot of links to Wikipedia for definitions and so on. That's because I am lazy, and I figure that site will provide a far better explanation of something than I will be able to.
While writing these pages I've checked their appearance using Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Opera graphical web browsers and also Elinks text web browser. If you're using some other web browser, let me know if you see any problems. My apologies for not checking the pages' appearance in more browsers, but according to browser statistics Internet Explorer and Firefox are by far the most popular (both of them cover about 90% of the market).
