this site and all parts (except where obvious) is written by hand, in plaintext using GNU vim 7.x on Mac OS X and Debian Linux. while web "standards" are not even remotely standardized, I've been working on moving my pages to valid XHTML Transitional, in preperation for HTML5. there's still very minimal CSS and lots of good old-fashioned HTML. is my friend.
I view everything in Firefox. if you're using something else and it looks funny, I frankly dont care.
this site was hosted by Parcom, a professional webhost based in Seattle. they occasionally run a special plan that's dirt cheap and SUPER minimal. (no support!) although they served me well for ever a year, I've since outgrown them and have moved all my infrastructure onto my own colocated machine.
