I stand on the shoulders of others, and they haven’t yet complained about my shoemarks. To that end, I think it fitting to include some thank-yous, and hopefully increase their Google Page Ranking as well :-)
Fonts Used
This site uses the fonts Graublau Sans Web regular and bold by FDI fonts.info and Droid Sans by Ascender Corporation (downloadable from the Font Squirrel @font-face kit site). I’d like to thank these font foundries for making these fonts legal for me to embed in my site free-of-charge.
Software Used
This site uses WordPress blogging software. Image editing is done with The GIMP editing software, and HTML is created by hand with the assistance of the Aptana IDE. Fonts that are not in the .EOT format which Internet Explorer uses are converted using TTF2EOT and FontForge (using Cygwin if I happened to be using Windows).
All of this software is open source and free to download.
JavaScript Libraries
Unless otherwise stated, all JavaScripts used on this site were created by me, and are available under the MIT License. Although not required, I would be really happy if you send me any changes you make to my code so that I can learn from the additions made.
Last, but certainly not least.
Two other people deserve special thanks:
- Special thanks to my wife Valerie for giving me the time to write the articles, which do take up a considerable amount of effort. I promise I’ll try not to fix so many computers from now on.
- This blog would never have been created had it not been for Sandy Law (a.k.a.
naive), a long time coworker and friend. We would share with each other new web technology information, and she would always encourage me to share the information I had more publicly. I always said I would get to it eventually but I never did. When she passed away prematurely in 2009, I thought this would be a perfect project in which to keep her memory alive.
