Warning: For geeks only. Nothing interesting here unless you like the nuts and bolts of computers.

A brief over view of the programs and equipment used for this site:

Camera: Kodak DC3200 digital camera. It's their cheapest, bottom of the line camera. Max resolution is 1152x86 4x24 bit. It makes great 3.5"x5" prints. With a 48 meg CompactFLASH card it holds about 140 of the high res pictures.

Image Editing Software: Adobe Photoshop for most editing, ACDSee for image viewing, management, some cropping. ACDSee does what it feel like with file names when you edit with it, including capitalizing extensions which screwed up my website when it was first uploaded.

HTML Editing: NoteTab. An excellent program with macros for inserting HTML text (nice for speeding up some parts but you still need to understand HTML), spell checker with the Pro edition ($19.95), opens many files at the same time (good for updating many pages at once). After I used Microsoft Word to check the spelling, I do NOT recommend Word as an HTML editor-- the files have a lot of garbage in them and are very difficult to debug later by hand. NoteTab can also work with some 3rd party software including a good HTML code checker (Tidy)

Additional software: Dan sent me a small dos program that fixes the capitalized file extension glitch.

Learning HTML: I used many online tutorials: the best I used are here:
