These pages and the CGI scripts that accompany them were all conceived, designed, written and scripted entirely by me, Ricky Buchanan. For my design philosophy - such as it is - see the web page philosophy and for a bit of fun check the online postcards rant page too *grin*.
Totally Useless Statistics
- The HTML pages here total over 6mb of text, and even accounting for the extra overhead of the HTML markup that's between 5 and 6 novels worth of ASCII text (600,000-ish words, for the curious)! If I had've worked on writing best-sellers instead of these web pages I might be rich by now!
- In the last three years, all the pages I have together received approximately one million hits. Wow!
- There are currently 1075 HTML files in this site and the number is growing nearly by the day.
- There are 17 cgi scripts that help to run these pages. Some (two) are called for each and every page, some are called only once every 3.14159265 blue moons. But they're all useful and they're almost all well crafted code that I'm proud of!
- There were, at the moment when I counted, exactly 50 photos in the Photo Album, totalling 2.9mb in size.
- There are 43 pictures of my artwork in the artwork collection, totalling about 1mb in size. It was bigger before, yes, if anybody noticed ... but I resized the images to make them a bit more reasonable and viewable and quicker to load.
- There are 62 other graphics used, and the whole lot are totalling about 2.6mb.
