In addition to the disclaimer page, I find it both necessary (legally) and correct (ethically) to list here the sources of the various and sundry images, themes, CSS and other such that ultimately combined to produce this page. In some cases, I consider myself under legal obligation to do so, and in some others, I just thought you might like to know what all is involved.

First, the machine this is all running on is a handmade machine of my own, running under my desk at home, and it has been online for about 12 years, in different incarnations.

It is running Slackware linux as its core OS. Current release is a fairly heavily patched 2.4.31 kernel. The web server is, of course Apache, which has over and over again proven itself to be the web server of choice for applications both public and private. Current version is 2.2.3. In order to facilitate all the scripting and automation, I’ve added in mod_perl, mod_ssl and of course php.

The blog software is lovingly provided by the folks at Wordpress. On the backend, there is also the masterful MySQL database server.

Once you’re inside the blog itself and viewing the content, the main theme is called, appropriately enough “insomnia”, by Headsetoptions, and be found here. The masthead image is my own creation, composited from a number of different publicly available images.

The badges on the left hand column (sometimes called brilliant images, or antipixel banners) were either made by hand, or using the wonderful brilliant Maker tool. Images referring to specific vendors or companies were retrieved from their website public relations pages, their public logos or other relatively legitimate means. Any butchery of those logos is my own fault, not theirs. Any copyrights or trademarks thereto are decidedly owned by those companies, and not by me.
