Technology
The front end of this site is built using valid HTML 4.01 Strict. It also contains a whole bunch of mostly valid CSS 2.1, and small amounts of unobtrusive JavaScript.
The backend is powered by Apache, Python, Django and MySQL, and the whole beast sits on a virtual box provided by Slicehost.
