Client Software

I generally build new entries using Ecto, a nice piece of blog-posting software by Adriaan Tijsseling.

Hosting

This site is hosted by Silver Bullet Hosting, which is by far the finest multinational corporation run by an anarcho-syndicalist I have ever encountered. Apart from providing web space for me and some other people, Silver Bullet also hosts the Silver Bullet Comics webzine and community.

Web Standards

Web standards matter. This site should be valid XHTML, styled in valid CSS, and syndicated in valid RSS.

Unfortunately, not all browsers support standards. That is to say, pretty much all browsers support standards, except for Microsoft Internet Explorer, which doesn’t. If you have the option, I urge you with full urgency to switch to a standards-compliant browser. Fortunately, you can download one for free. If you’re using Windows, Mozilla Firefox is very nice. If you’re on a Mac, you’re probably already using Safari, but if not you can download it here.

To get around some of Internet Explorer’s manifold failings, I’m using the very nice IE7 package by Dean Edwards.

Server Software

This site runs on the WordPress content management system, with a custom theme.
