The `Powered-By' Page

These systems were all used in the creation and display of this page.

Some logos and terms are the registered trademarks of their respective copyright holders, with whom I have no affiliation except as a satisfied user.

My preferred editors. I use both all the time.

My desktop environment (including the icon editor and some of the icons).

The OS running on the webserver in my dining room, and under which all this was developed.

The Hardware and OS which are serving this page on Elvis.

The HTTP software which gets this thing on the net.

The HyperText Preprocessor which puts together both the navigation menu on the left (in browser mode) and the location path at the top (in printer-friendly mode), along with the footer below.

This checks cross-references in web pages, which can be difficult on a site like the Kiefer Biographies.

Notice, incidentally, that the pages were all edited and tested on machines running FreeBSD, some with Intel CPUs and some with AMD CPUs. Right now, you are looking at them as they are served by a machine with four Sparc CPUs, running Solaris. They'd work equally well under Linux or IRIX. (The old Elvis was an SGI, and ran IRIX, and everything worked as it is now: porting was trivial, because nothing had to be done.) If you want portability, so you're not locked into one vendor or supplier, you want open-source tools. If you want scalability, so you can switch from a relatively small computer to big powerful servers, you want open-source tools.
