About the Author
Rogue1701 has been
kicking around the Internet for a few years now and likes it so
much he's decided to stay. He is the author of Home Brewed HTML and has been designing web sites for two years now.
Now for even more information about me...
I currently live in the city of Spokane which is located in eastern Washingtion State (the sunny side of the state). Spokane itself is a city of roughly 170,000 people and 400,00 total living in surrounding Spokane County. The weather in Spokane is about as varied as you can get. I've seen summers with a 100+ degree days, and I've seen winters that went -30 with three feet of snow on the ground! Anyway, Spokane is a great place to visit if you're travelling through the Pacific Northwest.
I attend Gonzaga University which is a private college in Spokane with a student body of about 4500. I'm working towards a degree in Management Information Systems (MIS) at the Gonzaga School of Business. Gonzaga is well known for it's schools of Law (our law graduates have the highest first time pass rate on the bar in Washington state), Education, Business, and Engineering.
When I'm not working at school or on web sites I enjoy reading and writing. The only sports I watch (or try to watch) are Hockey and Nascar Racing. I'm a bit of TV junkie as well. The best stuff on TV, period, is, anything Star Trek, The Simpsons, MST3K, King of the Hill (that's a lot like Spokane), Seinfeld (damn them for ending), Red Dwarf, Black Adder, Mr. Bean, Twin Peaks, and The X-Files (when I get a chance to watch it). I'm also a news junkie. I love keeping up on current events and politically speaking I'm a Republican (if you care about such things).
About Mr. Chekov
Mr. Chekov is a good
buddy of Rogue1701, and a fellow webmaster. He designed some of
the graphics on this site. This site would not have been possible
without all the great help he gave. Mr Chekov is a well known
author of custom rosters for the NHL 9X series from Electronic
Arts. Be sure to check out his site, the NHL Series Arena.
Browsing This Site
This site is best
viewed with either Netscape Communicator 4 or Internet Explorer 4. Every effort is made to make the site as viewable
as possible in older browsers, but the majority of Internet users
are now using these two browsers so it's a very good idea to
upgrade if you haven't. After all, they're both free so what's
the excuse not to!
In terms of viewing resolution, 800x600 at 16 million colors is the recomended resolution. However I have tested the site at 600x480 and it works fine.
HTML Editing
The majority of this
site was written with Frontpage Express 2.0 (a freeware WYSIWYG HTML editor). Yes
I've crossed over to the dark side by going with a WYSIWYG
editor, but the entire industry is headed in that direction so
it's time I did too. However that still doesn't let any aspiring
web designer off the hook! You still must learn how to write raw
HTML if you're going to be any good. Speaking of raw HTML, I did
some coding with HomeSite 2.5, a great text HTML editor.
Hosting
This site is
graciously hosted by the PlanetQuake
network. PlanetQuake is an organization of programers, web
designers, and artists who provide a home on the Internet for a
multitude of Quake sites. It's their hard work and dedication
that has helped make the Quake community what it is today. This
site couldn't have made it without all their help and support.
Thanks PlanetQuake!
Other Tools
For graphics, Photoshop and
Paint Shop Pro
were used to create original graphics and to take screenshots.
All files were uploaded with a great freeware FTP client called WSFTP.
