This website is my own personal domain where I can write and publish anything
that that pleases me. I don't intend to offend anyone, but if you are
offended by anything here, GOOD. My webserver is an Intel Celeron 300A
running Debian Linux, connected to the internet with a DSL from SBC/Yahoo. I
get 1500 kbps down and 128kbps up. The site is intentionally light on graphics
partly because of the slower upload speed, but also because I believe that
graphics are a menace and distraction on the Internet. I am one of those
people who will take a thousand words over a picture any day.
These pages are generated automatically with a set of scripts I wrote in
Python. The scripts are available on this
website; just click the "Code" link on the left. The virtue of these scripts
is that they can generate multiple websites to multiple servers that do
not require any CGI or database functionality. There are some CGI scripts
on this site that perform queries against a PostgreSQL database.
Python is a excellent programming language that features a clean syntax
that keeps programs easy to read. Unlike
Perl it's easy to read. Unlike TCL, it's
useful for large complicated programs. Try it, you'll like it.
