Webiste Design

This website was an exercise for me to play with valid html and css. I also did not want to use any frames or tables for the whole site. But then I was searching around, and there are people who actually design website themes and post them as open source website development. I found one that really looked like what I wanted and tried it out. So I can't take any credit for having designed this site and mastered css in the process. This theme is called Blue Haze which was developed by haran and I encourage you to check it out.

As far as content, I used text and links from my old college page. I use Quanta Plus as my editor and I highly recommend it. Its a KDE app that I run on Linux or my MacOS X machine. I use CVS for version control.

Timeline

June 11, 2005

Pretty much rewrote the whole website from scratch, using the theme talked about above. Moved all of the picture galleries into a new format. Now I use a program called JAlbum to generate the photo albums.

June 7, 2003

Moved everything over to the a webserver. It is a dedicated linux box with a few friends using it. Eric Pollmann is the admin. You can check it out at www.302easyst.net.

November 2000

Registered hamptopia.net and set up the website. The site was actually hosted on a friends system called trieb.net, and DNS forwarding sent people to his machine.
