This being the first issue of skew, we figured we'd put all this stuff
on the top level. This is your only chance to read this and have it be only
one link away; subsequent issues will have it hidden somewhere:
skew is best viewed by a graphics capable World Wide Web browser.
For optimal enjoyment the staff recommends
Netscape Communication's Netscape
Navigator. We're not responsible for substandard browsers.
How we make skew happen:
- Staff:
- President and Publisher: Eric J Schmoyer (all around pain in
the ass)
- Editor & Creative Director: Anabella Wewer (she draws cute
little pictures)
- Production Manager: Craig Constantine (watch out for that fin
near pool tables)
- Copy Editor: John Hall (incapable of coherent thought before noon)
- Staff Writers: Scott Snyder (remember when he had an Apple IIe?),
Ted Vaida (I thought all snowboards were named Lance.)
- Creative Support: Peter Johnstone (up there in that "Metro" area )
- Hardware:
- Designed with Apple Macintosh Quadra and Power Macintosh computers,
with help from Microtek Scanmaker IIxe desktop scanner.
- Server:
- Digital Equipment Corporation's AXP 3000-300LX running NSCA's httpd.
Alpha stations are cool.
- Software:
- Fractal Design Painter, Adobe Photoshop, Altsys FreeHand, BBedit Lite,
GNU Emacs, Apple's PowerTalk, Qualcomm Eudora, Fetch- FTP for the
Macintosh, and of course, Netscape Navigator.
- Fuel:
- Chocolate, Fasig's Irish Creme coffee, Domino's bacon and hot pepper pizza,
chocolate, Coca-Cola, a few Whoppers, and some more chocolate.
- Sound Effects:
- Peter Gabriel, Counting Crows, Sting and John's own personal silence.
- Distractions:
- Andres, Asterax, X-Files, Nerf products in general, watching highway
accidents and traffic jams outside our office windows, the WZZO sound
booth upstairs, and of course our favorite UPS man.
