Hi. Welcome to
Web of Chivian. This site was regestered in, and has been operational since June 21, 1996. I have to admit it has taken me forever to get it the way I want it, and it's certainly guaranteed to change, but for now it is what it is.
The pages were created long ago on a Mac Performa
using
Adobe Pagemill 
and these days are maintained on a Dell Dimension 3000 using
Adobe GoLive 
, at least until I can get a new Mac. They're served by
1&1 Internet, for which I've become a Premier Affiliate so drop me a line if you're in need of site hosting or web development services.
The images have come from a variety of sources including stock photo libraries, our family photo album, assorted collections of Click-Art, my digital camera, and even a
comic book or two. Some of the images have been edited using
Adobe Photoshop 
, a program that is not for the faint of heart or persons short on patience. Although to be honest, Photoshop and I have gotten much better at dealing with, and understanding each other in the past few years and it's gotten to the point where I consider myself downright dangerous with it.
The
Java
Stuff was also done long ago in Visual Studio under NT 4.0, on my "JC's Brand" PC which recently replaced with the new Dimension 3000 mentioned above. Originally it was a P1 running at 200 MHz with 64 MB of memory (the first chassis running Windows NT Workstation), then it was a P2 running at 350 MHz with 128 MB of memory (the second chassis running Windows 2000), and then it morphed for the final time into a P3 running at 500 MHz with 256 MB of memory. When it finally got to the point where even that couldn't keep up with the set of graphics and web development software I use it became painfully clear that it was time to bite the bullet and spring for a new system. The new box is a hyperthreaded P4 running at 3GHz with 1 GB of memory and running Windows XP.
I welcome your
feedback by EMail as the old visitors log book is long gone. That's all for now.
