Development Tools

One thing good about being a bum is that you have all the time to spend on your hobbies. I've wanted to try web designing but I just didn't have the time and the appropriate topic. This is my first attempt in creating and designing a site, so it's not that impressive. The contents of this site are static. This was put together using the following tools:

Macromedia Dreamweaver 4: for those who hate to memorize html tags and their attributes, but still have pop-up menus, image rollovers and flash buttons.

Macromedia Fireworks 4 & Adobe Photoshop: for graphic editing and optimization, and background images.

Macromedia Flash MX: for the animations.
