These are web sites independent of doctechnical.com which I have either built myself, or sites I founded and to which continue to make contributions.

Yes, I am available for independent contract work - email me through my contact email form for further information.

HTML: I prefer to write my HTML from scratch using the late, great Programmer's File Editor. (It's not really gone, but the creator of this easy-to-use, powerful and free alternative to the dreaded Notepad has ceased further development work. Thank Grid it's still available for download.) In situations where more rapid prototyping is needed, I use Macromedia Dreamweaver and then customize from there.

Graphics: I lean on Adobe Photoshop 5.5 and Paint Shop Pro 6, with the Eye Candy and Kai's Power Tools plugins for custom filtering & effects. Recently I started using SWiSH, a kind of poor man's Flash; I used it to create the banner animation on the doctechnical.com home page. I take pride in creating all my graphic images from scratch (unless you think they really suck, in which case I had absolutely nothing to do with them at all ... ;> )

Perl: I prefer the use of Perl for interactive web pages - mainly because perl scripts don't require the use of special plugins and they run from nearly every web server in existence. Yes, they can place a heavier load on servers, but with developments like mod_perl, Fast CGI and other accelerators, this is less of an issue than it used to be IMHO.
