I put up my web presence in 1997. The site location has moved a few times since then (from one college to another, then to my Debian/OpenBSD box, to a friend's machine for a few months as I was in the process of moving, and finally to its current home on my Ubuntu box). The content and design has been overhauled a few times as well, but much of the original content remains.
I'm not a designer, but I'm darned opinionated about website design. I've tried to keep this site clean, simple, and navigable. This means legible fonts, wide margins, few images, organized navigation links, and a site which is viewable in text-only web browsers. I've written all the HTML using a smattering of text editors (pico, nano, joe, and vim). I've tried to use standards-compliant HTML and have tested the site appearance in a variety of web browsers. In addition to HTML, there's CSS2, PHP, and a bit of Perl for site maintenance. Images are largely PNGs and JPGs generated by GraphicConverter. If it looks like this site was designed 10 years ago, that's because it was.
