Colophon

Ditonic Comma.net is a project of Michael Lachman, who is sole author, designer and fiddler. The graphics were made using Inkscape, coding was done by hand in Espresso 1.1 with occasional help from Textwrangler, and audio converted using Switch.

HTML5 Boilerplate's html and css templates gave me a leg up in the initial coding and taught me more about IE-specific hacks than I ever wanted to know. Mark Panaghiston's open source, HTML5-native JPlayer powers the audio and video, and photo galleries are based on CSS templates designed by Stu Nichols. The sliding navigation cluster appears courtesy of William Duffy's JScroll plugin. Thanks to all these fine people; without them the site design would still be a figment of my overactive imagination.

The site is hosted by Nearly Free Speech.net, which offers no-nonsense, pay-for-what-you-use service (but with less hyphens). Media hosting is handled through OpenDrive and Google.

I'm sad to say that the site does not validate as HTML5 or CSS3, so no fancy validation badges for me; several of the Internet Explorer hacks suggested by HTML5 Boilerplate block validation. I decided this site version that supporting Internet Explorer was more important, as much as I hate IE.
