Webpage Design
This is my 3rd attempt at writing a webpage. My first official webpage was made in 1997 it
contained heaps of unrelated animated GIFs and images and was really useless. A second attempt
was for a university assignment which still had heaps of non-standard html and used java scripting
and dhtml extensively. Maintaining the site was quiet difficult mainly because I hadn't really
thought its design through properly. Also the website didn't render well on all the browsers I
would have wanted, it just worked well under IE and netscape(still had some rendering issues).
From these two early experiences and from problems I faced in software development, the lessons
learnt regarding usage and conformance to internationally accepted and ratified standards has
been paramount in the development of this site.
This website was designed around the Sliqua
template by Phlash. Many thanks to Phlash for his simple yet useful design.
This site has been to the best of my knowledge successfully rendered using the latest Mozilla,
Opera, Netscape and Internet Explorer web-browsers.
What Is The Common Public License?
As you may have noticed, going through this site that various pieces
of work have been placed under the Common Public License. Many of you
will be aware of the conditions and circumstances of the license but
for those of you who are not familiar with it and can't be bothered to
read the legalise jargon the following is a quick and in my opinion
valid interpration. But please keep in mind IANAL.
The CPL allows one to use the works governed by it in any scenario
without the need for royalties or other kinds of payments. This
includes but is not limited to commercial, academic and open or free
environments. The CPL also allows the use of such works in said
mentioned environments without the need to attribute the original
author, though it would be appreciated if some form of credit were
made. The CPL allows for full freedoms of use of the works governed by
it without the risk of being exposed to the viral nature of free
licesning schemes such the General Public License, hence meaning using
CPL work does not require one to release into the open under a similar
licensing scheme all other works that interact with or derive from the
CPL governed works.
Furthermore the conditions of the CPL affords the author of the
original CPL work full indeminifiation from any kind of damages or
claims that may arise from use of the CPL governed works. The CPL does
not allow for the licensing scheme of the CPL governed works to be
altered if no alterations have been made from the original work.
