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 2.4.20 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 1.3.28. 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, there are several themes shown:

• DarkFire, which can be originally found on this site, authored by B A Khan. The masthead image is my own creation, composited from a number of different publicly available images.
• Quentin, which can be found at this location, was authored by Mike Purdy. I did some very minor tweaking to get my modifications to get my wp modifications to show up, as usual.
• and finally, Ice, which is a theme of my own creation. You can find more information about the theme (as well as download it), here. The principal image in the theme is a Mandolux image called Delia. Small modifications were made to the image to make it more web friendly. This image is used with the artist’s permission. Thanks Mando!
