colophon

• Site designed on Apple Mac Pro using Adobe Photoshop to convert sketchs into pixel design. PNG files generated using Adobe Fireworks rendered in 8-bit with alpha channel enabled.

• Markup was hand coded using MacRabbit's Espresso and CSSEdit as text editor and CSS editor, respectively. Code and image files are under version control using Subversion on local development server.

• Site looks best in (in this order): Safari 4+, Chrome, FireFox 3+, Internet Explorer 8, Internet Explorer 7. Sorry, Internet Explorer 6 users, there is a good chance the site will look bad...it is time to move on.

• Primary content management system is driven by MODx. MODx is extended using third-party code including: FeedX for Twitter display, PHx for output modifiers, Ditto for content listing and WayFinder for menu generation.

• jQuery, lazyload and scrollTo are used for usability enhancing javascript effects.

• "Dustin Walker" is set in Baskerville SemiBold Italic. Site headings are set in Meta Web Pro using Typekit.

• Site hosted with WebFaction and resource files are stored on Amazon's Cloud Front.
