This Website
This site is powered by a number of technologies, mixed, blended, altered and in some cases
plain old hacked to create a website driven by dynamic content from site databases,
style sheets (CSS) and external content (RSS feeds read as XML). The brief descriptions below
dont really do justice to the full functionality available within some of the technologies and
are intended to give a flavour of the systems employed with associated links if you would
like further information.
Ubuntu™

desktops and servers. It contains all the applications you need - a web browser, presentation,
document and spreadsheet software, instant messaging and much more.

Flickr™
Flickr is a photo sharing website and web services suite, and an online community platform.
It was one of the earliest Web 2.0 applications. In addition to being a popular Web site for
users to share personal photographs, the service is widely used by bloggers as a photo
repository. Its popularity has been fueled by its innovative online community tools that
allow photos to be tagged and browsed by folksonomic means. It hosts more than two billion
images - not all of them mine!
RSS Feeds
RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a family of Web feed formats used to publish
frequently updated content including, but not limited to, blog entries, news headlines,
and podcasts. An RSS document (which is called a "feed" or "web feed" or
"channel") contains either a summary of content from an associated web site or the
full text. RSS makes it possible for people to keep up with their favorite web sites
in an automated manner that can be piped into special programs or filtered displays.
