Bits and pieces...
Design notes.

These pages were constructed using PhotoShop, ClarisHomePage and other stuff on a Mac in my spare time. Everyone should have a vice and writing evil pages is mine. I've tried to make them browser friendly, though I don't know why I bother really, because Browsers should be script friendly!

You'll notice that parts of the site are still in the ochre/black of the original site as I begin building it in white and blue.This site has been designed to be as monitor and Browser Friendly as possible. While more fancy effects could have been used I have considered the incompatibilities and equipment of my viewers. I am fortunate enough to have 2 good beta testers: my parents with their steam powered 386 PC and a Web Designer with the latest gear: MAC and IBM. Of course I also have you. If you find something that doesn't quite work due to an HTML error that doesn't take into account your system, browser or equipment, please tell me. I'm pretty proud of my scripting, so your assistance in making that pride justifiable would be appreciated.

To get the best results: Drag the window out to fit your whole screen. The pages are designed to be viewed on monitors set to 640x480 but they should work on monitors with a higher resolution. (Set your colour to thousands or 256 colours) I'm in the process of melting the ice on this site so very soon it will be liquid and size will become unimportant!

Thanks so much to:

Josh aka "Smartarse" for hot tips on image squishing and Illustrator, but when will you buy me a computer with the RAM to run it?!?
Kit for twirly gifs and innumerable Russian fonts, sites and contributions. You're a treasure.
Pinky: for another twirly gif! (You can never have too many twirly gifs!)
Steve at gizmo! for describing the difference between GIFs and JPGs, and for just being generally cool.
LaLa and Cilonda for their boundless enthusiasm and overall cuteness.
Mark and Betty for several hundred megabytes of Russian photos, or so it seemed!
Brad for lending me the computer this site was built on, because due to the collapse of the Russian economy I'm too poor to buy one. You and Jen are my pillars of strength.
Simo for being around for me to annoy. You are like a black hole: dark, menacing, silent and nothing escapes you! You were Russian in a previous life.
Sergé: my precious one.

Thanks to everyone who has supported and encouraged me by looking at the site and making the counter tick over just enough to make me keep at it! I'd also like to thank all the people who have been incredibly mean to me over the years. I've been underestimated, ignored, abused, used and kicked when I've been down by people who ought to know better, or at least they pretend they are better than me. I have survived and am the stronger for it. If I can do it, you can do it too.

Touch the future. It's there for us to shape...

...to thine own self be true...
