Information About the Website
Manifesto: We intend this site to be more than simply pages of information about
the wedding, driving directions, what we want as gifts, etc. We have
created this site as a permanent and expandable home page of sorts, where
we can put pictures, thoughts, writings, interactive displays for years
to come. A sort of playground for the artistic/computer-oriented
part of our relationship.

* Ph.D.
That is to say, all of this is really just fooling around. I like to have
an idea of what I would like to accomplish, or communicate with the
entire site, then figure out a useful and aesthetically pleasing manner
of doing this and then implement it as efficiently as possible. Of
course the actual content comes a bit more slowly.
I have used
basic HTML coding, javascript and some CGI's written in PERL to implement
my initial idea of a wedding web site. The HTML and javascript was written
'by hand' using a shareware text editor called Alpha which has some built-in HTML
writing tools. The
CGI PERL scripts are not mine (although some have been modified
slightly) and are credited where they are used. I used javascript to
implement a number of different features of the site and some of it
is loosely based on other scripts- most of it is my own and all of it
took too much time to write.Graphics were created with Photoshop or
Canvas and most are my own, though some incorporate bits and pieces
of stock images. Everything you see has been done on a Macintosh,
and much of it has been done late at night with a lot of coffee.

Despite the slick logo,
I am not the CEO of my own multimedia, multinational corporation.
JEMWorks is a potential company that may (or may not) consist of me
doing some work on the side. Have any interest, drop me a line at
CEO, JEMWorks Corp..
