I built this web in an
attempt to provide a place to store a synopsis of my experiences, to try
to promote appreciation for the aquatic environment and to experiment with
different web development and publishing tools.
My web, thus far, was
designed, built and is maintained almost entirely with hand-coded
HTML, SSI (Server Side Includes) and custom CGI (Common Gateway
Interface) programs written in PERL, C and C++. For some of the
dynamic HTML, I coded Java applets. I swiped (borrowed)
a couple of things from Microsoft FrontPage 2003, such as the page counter
on my Intro page and the Java applet for the hover buttons at the top of
each page because I didn't feel like re-inventing the wheel and the page
counters are quite nice (however meaningless).
Some of the other tools I
used or plan to use in this web's continued maintenance are:
