Technical info

I code this entire site from scratch, save some libraries. View the S3P entry on the Computing page for further info.

Works integrated

Most libraries, scripts, &c. used on this site are duly credited in source; works for which I’m either technically incapable of crediting or which I have integrated into closed-source portions of this website are listed below.

Likewise, any CSS rules that dictate layout of the website are written using CSS3 modules that are at least at the Candidate Recommendation stage and are adopted by no less than 99% of desktop and mobile browsers.

Other public services hosted here: FTP, Sterlbooru, e-Mail, and a couple Telnet services (varlpenis and uprecords).
