This website was an excerise for me to play with valid html and css. I also did not want to use any frames or tables for the whole site. But then I was searching around, and there are people who actually design website themes and post them as open source website development. I found one that really looked like what I wanted and tryed it out. So I can't take any credit for having designed this site and masterd css in the process. This theme is called Blue Haze which was developed by haran and I encourage you to check it out.
As far as content, I used text and links from my old college page. I use Quanta Plus as my editor and I highly recommend it. Its a KDE app that I run on Linux or my MacOS X machine. I use CVS for version control.
