Construction
All of these pages are made from scratch in HTML in conjunction with CSS, using Notepad++. No WYSIWYG programs like Frontpage or Dreamweaver were involved.
CSS Media Queries are used to style the pages differently (and more appropriately) depending on the type of viewing device (larger monitors, tablets, and mobile phones).
On the back-end, I use custom-made PHP scripts to automate and simplify maintainence, and the GLU version of MySQL as a database system.
Almost all images on these pages are in the wonderful PNG image format, except for images that are better suited in JPG (mostly for the Books page).
Conformance
- All my web pages conform to W3C's HTML 5.2 specification. You can use the link at the bottom of each page to run the respective page through the W3C MarkUp Validation Service.
- The external CSS files I use fully conform to the specifications. See the CSS Validator.
CSS signature
My site makes use of so-called CSS signatures. On the <body> start-tag of every page is id="hermiene-net". You can use this in combination with contextual selectors to restyle my entire site as you please. If that didn't make sense to you, it doesn't apply to you; I only expect highly interested people to take advantage of this.
Say you don't like the font I use. Change it!
#hermiene-net {
font-family: "comic sans ms";
}
Does the footer annoy you? Remove it!
#hermiene-net #footer {
display: none;
}
Favicon
The favicon, a black circle with three smaller cirles embedded within (two white with another black embedded within the largest of the white ones), is the insignia of the Sjet kiith, a fictional political unit in the Homeworld computer game series. (An 816 x 816 PNG version is found here. If, like me, you believe that SVG is the future, here's an SVG version, courtesy of Alexander K. Schrøder.) I chose their insignia as the favicon for my site because I adore their history of science and pascifism. In addition, I have a crush on their greatest neuroscientist, Karan Sjet, who has the cutest voice ever.
Best viewed with
This site is theoretically best viewed with any user agent, on any operating system, running any thinkable resolution. This is because this site is designed using HTML for describing structure, and CSS for describing presentation. The way it should be done.
That said, there are some browsers I do recommend, and those are Google Chrome, Opera, and Mozilla Firefox. Unlike Internet Explorer, these browsers render pages in a much more standard-compliant way.
Purpose
The purpose of this web site is to spread all (or mostly all) of the information that I find interesting to other people who might find it interesting as well.
Random quotes
At the top of every page is a randomly generated quote. There are currently 356 quotes. They are as follows:
