Jorg's Pages - TEMPLATE

    I hope you like my pages as they are: Of course they aren't as funky as other ones, but I like them nevertheless. They were mainly based on the pages which I created while I was a student. Of course they were fully reviewed and re-designed.
    I created them using my basic knowledge of HTML and JavaScript with the only help of a text editor. I actually don't like people who say they are a webmaster and never wrote a single HTML-tag in their whole life: it's just like an being a writer and never having learned the alphabet!
    But okay, let's hit the technial side:

Arrow dot The Browsers
There is a lot fuss about pages that don't work with this or that browser. And unfortunately I have to admit that my page is one of those. Numerous visitors reported that my page does not display correctly with Microsoft Internet Explorer.
I only test my pages with Netscape Navigator (my version is currently 4.5, but I try to keep track). I have numerous reasons why I don't test my pages with a version of Microsoft Internet Explorer... The most important are:

As far as I'm imformed, Netscape complies more to the HTML standard than Microsoft does.
I still consider Netscape Navigator as the "de facto" browser.
Microsoft Internet Explorer is very system invasive, so I refuse to install it on my PC.

Arrow dot The Images
    Nearly all the images on my pages were created by me in a way or another: drawn, raytraced or scanned. I know it's common use to "borrow" pictures all over the web, but I'm an honest man, so I didn't. If you like any picture on my page and decide to use it... Feel free, and get it... but at least give me the credit I deserve by including me in your link page or acknowlegements. The link images on my link page were of course not created by me :-) they are meant to be used that way.
    The navigation buttons were inspired on the buttons on my cellular phone (GSM): I've actually put my cellular phone on our scanner, scanned it and destilled the buttons from the resulting image.
    Here's a list of the software I used while creating images for these pages:

Vivid Raytracer Version 2.0
Alchemy Mindworks Graphic Workshop Version 1.1y
Alchemy Mindworks GIF Construction Set Version 1.0Q - patch 6
ZSoft PhotoFinish Version 1.0
ULead iPhotoExpress Version 1.0
Microsoft Photo Editor (Ships with Office 97)

Arrow dot The Music
    Unlike the images I didn't create the midi files shown in the bottom frame. I'm an absolute zero in music, sorry! Previously my pages played a midi in background, but some visitors complained about that because they were doing something else with their soundcard. So I decided to offer a choice to the potential visitors... and that is why the bottom frame was added. The three shown songs were downloaded at the Midi File Central which was discontinued because of lack of interest.
    Those who knew my University pages will remember that they had a different song on each page. I removed these songs because now I have to share 5 Megabyte with 4 other people.... so I had to dump something and it were the midi-files. :-(
    I also considered using some tracked songs created by my friends, but neither XM, IT or S3M files are supported by standard Browsers. WAV files are too huge, and MP3 files are not supported either. (A real shame, because MP3 is cool!) I know that RealAudio is around, but I have no tools to convert to RA files, and I have no clue about their size.

Arrow dot Special Thanks to...

...my parents for all the support over the years I studied, and beyond. Thank you!
...my sister, just because she's there.
...my brother, because he can be a real pal when we drink a beer together.
...Bofferding, Maes-pils and Interbrew for the beer.
...Bacardi and Negrita for the rum.
...my cousin Tom, because he's a really good friend and the best drinking-pal you can imagine. (As a matter of fact he is way too alcohol-resistent)
...my friend Laurent (a.k.a. LSR) for so many things I should dedicate an apart page to him!
