This site is pretty old. I created it back around 2001 when using standard, valid XHTML 1.0 Strict markup and
valid CSS2 style sheets was the latest thing. (I'll get around to re-creating it in HTML5/CSS3 one of these days.) Scripting was written in PHP. The header and
navigation are off in separate included files and the navigation uses PHP to
determine where it is in the site, based on the URL path. All coding was done by hand using
either BBEdit on a Mac or
the "joe" editor on the server.
All graphics were created with Photoshop. The photos of Buddhist and
Chinese figures throughout this site are from my own collection and were
taken with the original Canon EOS Digital Rebel.
The random quote on the home page is chosen using the old BSD "fortune" command.
This site runs on Debian Linux in a KVM virtual machine on the Proxmox Virtualization Environment.
