the mog network 4.0- about...

About this website

This website was first thought of 12/29/1999. I wanted to make a collective site for all my websites, whatever I would build in the future. I also needed a personal site. Although the sites within the collective are rather pitiful, it's still growing, and it could encompass a better variety of sites in the future!

The first layout used frames, and a lot of effort wasn't really put into it.

Thanks to David, Justin, Kark, Endy, Alice, Kat, Larisa, and the people at SMBII for helping me with the 2nd layout (Index page up for testing 6-4-00, public debut 6-11-00).

The third layout first conceived 1-4-01, finished and uploaded 1-5-01, then changed again 1-14-01.

The Mog Network version 4 was thought of for a long while, then suddenly I got an idea Thanksgiving 2001 (11-22-01), started working on it, and finished 11-25-01.

So anyways, that's how this site came about.

Programs I Used

Here are the programs I used to create this site:

  America Online 5.0- It's my ISP, and I use to test out some of the HTML pages.

  Adobe Photodeluxe 1.1- I've grown quite accustomed to using it... it pales in comparison to Photoshop, but it's what I'm used to, so...

  Adobe Photoshop 5.0- I finally have a legit copy! I don't have too good of a grasp of Photoshop, but I'm working on it...

  Anarchie 3.7- THE best Mac FTP client... (I would update it but I'd have to pay extra for the upgrade.)

  BBEdit 6.1- THE best Mac HTML/text editor! I'm growing accustomed to using it; it has many useful features.

  Epson Utilities- The bundled software that came with my new scanner really sucks; my old one was a lot better. Not to mention having a USB connection instead of SCSI... why did they stop making SCSI for low-end scanners?! It was so much more convenient, so much faster!

  GraphicConverter 4.2- It's a great graphics program for converting to webpage images, but not editing them.

  Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.1- For testing out the HTML pages.

  Simpletext- I use this program as a quickie-editor if I need to edit something really quickly, or if I'm too lazy to open an HTML file using BBEdit.

Finally, I run everything on a Power Mac Beige G3 Minitower at 233 mhz on 288 MB of RAM, a 4.0 GB hard drive, running Mac OS System 9.2.1. I scan everything using an Epson Perfection 1250 USB scanner, which is quite... slow.
