About since1968.com · 194 words posted 06/30/2004 09:17 AM
since1968.com has been published by Marc A. Garrett (me) since 1998 and features interviews with Lawrence Lessig, Steve Krug, Jeffrey Zeldman, and Joshua Davis, as well as book reviews, cultural critiques, and original code snippets. The web site’s name refers to the vintage of the publisher, not the site.
since1968.com is currently published with TextPattern and hosted by TextDrive on Apache/FreeBSD.
Other software and techniques used on the site:
- Dan Cederholm’s faux columns trick creates the illusion of columns spanning the entire length of the page.
- Shaun Inman’s ShortStat gives me a snapshot of who visits the site. I’ve tweaked it to remove my IP address from the stats.
- SimpleViewer, from Airtight Interactive provides the Flash image galleries, such as this one of Hanoi and this one of emerging cicadas.
- From time to time, but not at this particular moment, I relieve the tedium by using a background pattern from squidfingers.
The nature pictures that appear as the site banners were taken by me with a Panasonic DMC-FZ10. You can view more of my pictures here.
Yes, I know the site doesn’t look so hot in Internet Explorer 5.5. Browser upgrades are free.
