Notes:
|
1. The site has been designed for a minimum screen resolution
of 800x600 pixels.
|
2. The Navigation Bar contains some drop down menus which require
Javascript. If you do not have Javascript enabled these drop down
menus will not work. In this case please use the site map links
for navigation.
|
3. Photoshop 6 is used for all image processing. If you wish to
contribute photos please send them to me with a minimum resolution
of 72dpi, and preferably with a width of 700 pixels.
|
4. Fireworks 4 is used to optimise and slice images, and also
to produce the navigation bar buttons.
|
5. Dreamweaver 4 is used to construct the site, insert text, test
and generally manage it.
|
6. Principal testing of the site is being done in Internet Explorer
5.5.
|
7. Sound on The Aegre pages uses midi files which have been set
up with Windows Media Player.
|
8. The Discussion Board uses phpBB, an open source application
that is freely available from http://www.phpbb.com/ It is hosted
on the same server as the rest of the site.
|
9. The whole site is hosted by 123ehost.com (http://123ehost.com)
somewhere in the US.
|
10. I developed the first version of this site entirely in HTML
in June 2001 as an assignment in the Master of Arts (Virtual Communication)
Course run at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT).
Version 2, (the current version) was developed during December 2001
and January 2002 as an exercise to improve my familiarity with the
software applications and to trial a number of principles and ideas
regarding web design, usability, traffic development etc. I've enjoyed
combining my interest in sailing with my study.
|
11. This site has been developed and continues to grow thanks
to the input and encouragement of many people, particularly in the
early days Graeme White at RMIT, fellow students Susan Cowan and
Nan Allen, my very patient and long suffering crew Nev Roberts and
John Freeman, my wife Tomoko and daughters Erica and Mariko who
are sick of me going on about it, and finally to you, the visitor,
who makes it all worthwhile.
