you may use information from this site when doing your assignments. all i'm asking is that you don't directly plagiarize my papers or copy and paste all of my code when making your website and claim it as your own. if quoting papers, put down where you got it from. if copying and pasting code, give a link to my site (or directly to the page you got it from). open source is awesome, just pass the word along about where you got it from. savvy?

the story

why, exactly, did i make this site?

well, there's the obvious: i'm in salazar's computer science class over here at st. mike's, and we had to make websites for a grade. there's also the fact that i have no life, and spend a lot of time on the net.

i mainly took this class because i wanted to learn more html. near new year's '02, i made a website at geocities, using wysiwyg. it was good for what i wanted at the time, but after a couple of months i got tired of wysiwyg editing and wanted to try and learn some html. i got hooked on blogging, and got my own blog in february '02. that's when i started messing with html, changing my blog's template.

the next few months i spent a lot of time yelling at my computer and my geocities site, and learned the basics in html with my blog.

now it's over a year later, i have 2 other sites, 2 blogs, and a decent understanding of html. i built this site by manipulating a blog template i got at blogskins, working all in html. all the content in this site i got by in-class notes, handouts, and research for my papers on the net.

check the site out, especially if you're in salazar's compsci class (this is almost everything you need to know for papers, notes, etc.). and if you're not, well then you might just learn something you didn't know about computers while surfing around here.
