README

I'm Jim Brown, a retired chemical engineer who did most of his work in the environmental field. Playing with personal computers has been a hobby since 1977. I use this site to record interesting tidbits from the web. I may occasionally express opinions on different topics, but this is not a blog and is not updated frequently. Glad to have you here. If you see something you want to comment on, you can let me know at by sending a note to the e-mail address at the bottom of this page.

If you came here looking for the bulletin boards that I maintain for my classes at the McGrath SeniorNet Learning Center in Aiken, SC, you can find them at http://bb.jcby.com.

If you came here looking for information on Clemson sports, go to Game Notes and read what I think. I'll tell you here that I don't keep those as up to date as I used to.

Introduction

This is the Home page of the legacy part of my web site. I maintain this legacy site for those that want information about how I produced this site when I used txt2tags and WriteMonkey. Some of the TOC links above take you back to my current site; these are marked by "(main site)" in the TOC entry.

What's New

12/19/11. Made this page and many of its links refer to itself as a legacy site maintained for historical reference to using txt2tags and WriteMonkey to produce the site.

12/5/11. Added pages about text editors that implement Markdown natively.

5/5/2011. Moved the "opinion" articles from the home page to a new page named IMO.

4/15/2011. Began an experiment using WriteMonkey to write content for this site. WriteMonkey is a minimalist text editor that accepts Markdown markup and directly exports it to HTML format while applying a style sheet. See pages 10 and 11 in the TOC above.

1/10/2011. Completed a major update to the site. Some of my pages used to be maintained using wiki or blog software. Spam made me re-think that and I have now eliminated all executable code from my web server. All the pages are now static HTML. I've also moved to using the lightweight markup syntax and HTML generation features of txt2tags to write and publish content for the site. Several of the pages in the TOC describe what I decided to do and how I did it.
