News

Time once again for the biennial site update. Hosting moved from CCSI; now courtesy of our friends at g-cipher.net. Radical update of the Projects page, and a gradual migration to HTML 4.01 Transitional.

I've come to realize that I have a dense, conversational prose style which may not be appropriate for the more purely technical articles on the site. Too bad! I write for my own entertainment.

Cleaned up and updated just about everything; changed the Projects page to reflect the state of various current projects. After lengthy consideration, added an image in GIF format. I had intended to restrict all line-art images on the site to PNG format; however, this image was intended to convey technical information and I didn't want to limit its potential audience.

Updated the Projects page. Updated the News page. Validated all updated pages against HTML 3.2 spec. Note that the BVWAB button on the front page is a LIE: this site is all kinds of messed up in Netscape Navigator 3.04 Gold, because that browser doesn't support PNG.

Redesigned most of the site for bold, new look. I realised that monochromatic shades, i.e., those with identical RGB values, have the highest contrast attainable on a color monitor, with its physically separated color pixels. The sites I've found most legible and easy on the eyes are invariably those which stick with the browser's default font, on a plain white or neutral grey background. Here's an exemplar, though it be disfigured by some absolutely hideous graphics; I hope I've done a little better in that department. I have no explanation for all the white and goldenrod along with the grey, that just sorta came out of nowhere.

First update in a very long time; converted some of the graphics to PNG.

Objections to the maintainer.
