About
The creator of this website is an engineer with an interest in many technologies and during retirement is undertaking projects that require dipping into previously uncharted technology areas. This has necessitated the creation of robust documentation so that an effective record of research undertaken and solutions created is kept for future and contemporaneous reference.
One technology area researched has been the creation of websites and as with all investigation it is best to choose a specific and real project as a framework to give the investigation meaning. It was therefore decided to create this website as both a technology investigation and act as a technical file repository for other project activities.
All project documentation and technology files and links are situated on the documentation page.
This site is not a forum or blog but comments or queries can be emailed to the contact email address in the footer and may be answered either on the comments page or directly.
