All AirBeagle Communications web creativity needs are handled exclusively by «Macintosh»; specifically, at this time, a 2.4ghz Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro 15 running OS X, v10.6.1 Snow Leopard. Steve uses Adobe Photoshop, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Panic’s Transmit SFTP tool, and Apple Text Edit to handle the site.

This site’s graphic design is “Freshy2,” a template from «Jide». Colors and combinations on AirBeagle sites are often suggested via Adobe Lab’s very awesome color theming application, «Kuler». Where noted, some AirBeagle sites have royalty-free photographs from «stock.xchng VI», which we highly recommend.

The site’s visual look is produced by a «valid CSS» files.

The organizational/structural code of all AirBeagle sites is «valid XHTML» code. It should render perfectly in most up-to-date, decent browsers, with the exception of anything ever produced by Microsoft. Cranky sidebar: Internet Explorer is a bloated, crappy, nightmare tool of Satan and I refuse to torture myself by attempting to write hundreds of lines of code just to get it to display a simple box correctly, let alone anything else. Want to visit AirBeagle sites? Get «Firefox», for god’s sake.

All AirBeagle sites are hosted by shared accelerators provided by the fine folks at «Joyent», the premier, bleeding-edge webhost. AirBeagle was proud to be one of the second round of Venture Capital funders of the original Textdrive, founded by Dean Allen and which later merged with Joyent to do really amazing things. AirBeagle was hosted on the server One until November 2007; it is now on the very spiffy new Kemp server, a Sun Solaris shared accelerator.

We recently switched to «WordPress», which is now the content management system for all AirBeagle sites, of which there are currently about 28. The backend power behind Joyent and WordPress is provided by Apache, PHP, MySQL, and Joyent Accelerators, which are Sun Solaris servers located in San Diego, CA. Comments and critiques are welcome, but we track our visitors. Play nice, boys and girls.

You can subscribe to each site’s Atom syndication feed by clicking on the ‘Syndicate’ link in the header and then bookmarking the resulting page.

All AirBeagle sites (content and design) are © 1999-2009 | Steve Pollock, all rights reserved. The ‘air’ in AirBeagle was chosen because I love flying and airliners; the ‘beagle’ because I was owned at the time by a beagle (now I’m owned by three). The first AirBeagle site, airbeagle.com, first appeared on the web on 17-Mar-99; what was once a little hobby is now growing into something much, much bigger and now entering our second decade.

And now you know. We thank you for visiting and hope you enjoy your stay.
