About us

This is the only place in the whole server where the Oasis staff tells it like it is, so here it goes: We like Netscape Communication's Netscape Navigator better. Yes, there are others, but Mozilla stomps them.

How we make skew happen:

Staff:
Editor & Creative Director: Anabella Wewer She got a faster Mac this month.
Managing Editor: Scott Snyder Who is still trying to explain what a schedule is.
Production Manager: Craig Constantine We'll leave him alone this time around. He had to go to the store, after all...
Staff Writers: Jesse Garon, Tina Stanley, Brandon Kwiatek, John Hall (he's baaaaaaaaack!), Eric "What deadline?" Schmoyer

Hardware:
Designed using Apple Macintosh Quadra, Powerbook, and really fast Power Macintosh computers, a UMAX Vista scanner, a Fujitsu 3.5" MO Drive, a Wacom ArtZ tablet, a Syquest drive, a Braun coffee maker, and flying disks.

Server:
Digital Equipment Corporation's AXP 3000-300LX running NSCA's httpd 1.4.

Software:
Fractal Design Painter, Adobe Photoshop, Macromedia FreeHand, HSC's KPT Vector Effects, BBedit, GNU Emacs, Perl, PowerTalk, Claris e-m@iler, Anarchie, Transparency, Netscape Navigator 1.1N and some carefully dug up info on 2.0..

Fuel:
Boston Chicken (yeah we know they changed the name but refuse to believe it), chocolate, coffee, Chinese food (What do they call it in China?), potato chips and three packs of M&M's.

Sound Effects:
U2, Boingo :-(, Counting Crows, Live, Erasure, Midnight Oil, Men without Hats and other 80's favorites from Sweden..

Distractions:
Lumpus, Eastern Pennsylvania, the year 2000, newsgroups and search engines, and a very fast Indy. Oh, yes, and Marathon, now on a projector screen.
