About the Website

Hope you like it and will find it to be of service. Please let us know about any suggestions for improvement, changes, other features, etc. This is likely a work in progress, with the goal of it being better and more useful.

Open Source Development Tools

  • MODx CMF (Content Management Framework: Flexible API and event model that allows overriding how the core behaves without hacking core code). Ultra flexible, fluid and powerful, and seemingly much more natural/logical, therefore simpler.
  • MyBB forum platform. Easy, powerful, fast, extensible, fully featured, multilingual.
  • MooTools javascript framework, Scriptaculous Web2 javascript libraries, Prototype javascript framework.
  • PHP,  XHMTL,  Ajax.
  • Greybox smart window: Very cool Lightbox-like display-on-page floating window, carouselable or single/serial, but can also display live remote webpages on-page in the Greybox (as well as a bunch of other cool stuff)!!! It's very cool. Fairly snappy, too.

Open Source Webserver Environments

  • Production server: X86-64 Linux, Apache webserver, MySQL, PHP.
  • Test/development server: MAMP (Mac-Apache-MySQL-PHP) on an old, dented, unkillable 12" Macintosh G4 Powerbook.
