Technical info

I code this entire site from scratch, save some libraries. View the S3P entry on the Computing page for further info.

Works integrated

Most libraries, scripts, &c. used on this site are duly credited in source; works for which I’m either technically incapable of crediting or which I have integrated into closed-source portions of this website are listed below.
