----- permalink: about filters_pre: - erb - redcloth title: About type: page ----- This is a _minimalist_ web site: I do not care about fancy graphics or nitfy effects. I do care, however, about content and I want you to read what I write comfortably. As you can see, this site has no sidebars: it only has a header, a main column and a footer, exactly where you expect them to be. This site was designed to work with all the major modern browsers (hint: Internet Explorer 6 is _not_ a modern browser). It validates as XHTML 1.1 Strict and CSS 2.1. h3. Under the Hood This site is powered by: * -A customized version of the "Typo":http://www.typosphere.org blogging engine.- * -The "Ruby on Rails":http://www.rubyonrails.org web framework for the "Ruby":http://www.ruby-lang.org programming language.- * -The "MySQL":http://www.mysql.com database engine.- * -The "Apache":http://www.apache.org web server.- * Just "Nanoc":http://nanoc.stoneship.org/, <em>"[...] a site compiler written in Ruby for building awesome web sites."</em> h3.
