Lair of Darkness Foundations and Resources

Hail!!

So you want to know a little more about this site hey? Well it started life as just a run of the mill Links page, which took an afternoon to make, 2 days to upload becuase I did not have a clue on how to do this and had a 1 mb video title! Not bad for a 15 year old who had been online for just a month.

That was about 3 years ago now and my site has grown a lot since then. I have used up a fair bit of my 50 mb user space on my ISP, and also have a number of Xoom and Tripod accounts. Most of this is taken up by my increasing download section and my ever expanding fantasy art galleries. Over time I added such things like an armoury section, an area dedicated to my favourite Black Metal bands and a quotes page. All of these, as well as other sections are always expanding.

My Computer: I've had the same system for 3 years now, and from being the dogs bolloxs, it's not an ancient, crippled machine. Its a 200 mhz cyrix, 32 mb of ram, 4.3 Gb hdd, Voodoo 2000 and the usual trimmings like modem, cd rom etc.

Software: My primary html editors and Editpad and Frontpage express. Also use Frontpage 2000. For graphics I mainly use Crystal 3D Impact, as well as Thumbsplus, Photoshop LE and Paint Shop Pro. Some other stuff I use is Astra Site Manager and CSE html Validator.

Last Words: As my site has grown, so has the number of people visiting it. Between August and December 1999, over 20000 people visited my Art site! This a a huge number for a personal page, and it rises all the time. Over time, I have tried to organise my site so it resembles or gives the impression of a castle, home of the Legio Mortis. One method I have considered for the future is the use of VRML and moving my site into a virtual castle.
