About the Tech
On the backend, the site itself consists of only a few pages, just two of which are used for display. Data is loaded via a home grown content management tool, allowing for updates and modifications without touching any code. Site content is managed in a SQL Server 2005 database. Backups are created after each significant content or technology update.
All graphics were built using a combination of MS Paint and GIMP. Pictures are taken with a top of the line Kodak DX 3600 digital camera, then resized using ImageMagik’s mogrify tool. Eventually the manual picture resizing will be eliminated using .NET tools to dynamically scale the pictures.
