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 "There's no problem that 200 MB of RAM can't fix"
- Managing Editor: Scott Snyder He's given up on saying please and just was last seen writing with crayons on napkins.
- Production Manager: Craig Constantine, bends compilers to his will.
- Staff Writers: Jesse Garon,
Tina Stanley,
John Hall (Starting the Rob McCool fan club, NOT!),
Eric "I need a faster Mac" Schmoyer,
- Hardware:
- Designed using Apple Macintosh and Silicon Graphics Indy
computers, a UMAX Vista scanner, a new DAT that gives us warm fuzzy feelings, a Wacom ArtZ tablet, a Syquest drive or two, a Braun coffee maker, and flying disks. (The M.O. died, may it rest in peace.)
- Server:
- Digital Equipment Corporation's AXP 3000-300LX running NSCA's httpd 1.4.us (yes, this is our own version; we can't resist re-writing just about anything that comes our way.)
- Software:
- Fractal Design Painter, Adobe Photoshop, Macromedia FreeHand, BBedit, GNU Emacs, Perl, PowerTalk, Claris Em@iler, Fetch,
Netscape Navigator 1.1N and 2.0b3, Shove-It! (we're not sure why though), and HoverBar.
- Fuel:
- Pancakes, burgers, chili, and seafood Enchiladas, chocolate silk pie and coffee.
- Sound Effects:
- Sting, Yordano, the Jesus Christ Superstar soundtrack, Boingo, Satriani.
- Distractions:
- "Mr. Server, our Perkins waiter; Magic Scent Crayons; Indy presenters; Marathon 2: Durandal.
