About our site

Hardware

These World-Wide Web pages are coming to you from a Sun Microsystems SparcServer 10/51 located in an air-conditioned room in Morgan Hall. Although the machine's given name is actually lydia.bradley.edu (in honor of Lydia Moss Bradley, who founded the school in 1897), it has also been known to answer to the name socrates. Lydia also houses Bradley's gopher server (BUINFO). Shell access to lydia is given to students for academic and administrative purposes only.

Software

We are running version 1.3 of NCSA's httpd server, usage statistics are now online. Several CGI scripts were made to provide interactive forms and to autobuild pages; these are signed with the author's initials wherever found.

The clickable image on the main page was created by Glenn Powers with Adobe Photoshop 3.0.

After trying out various HTML editors, we finally went with our longtime favorite: vi.

Although these pages will appear more-or-less correctly on any HTML/1.0 compliant browser, they are somewhat tailored to Netscape. We believe Netscape to be of superior quality and stability to competing products, and it offers several HTML extensions we found useful. If you are not using Netscape, you should experience no major problems other than bad formatting.
