Help and About
Knowing that I'm a great fan of consistency, finally,
the urge to make something look different has
subsided, and
now, after about 3 years, the Help and About pages look
like the rest of the site... :)
About me
Hi, I'm Enoch as you may have gathered by now. In case
you're wondering if you've found the right person, I went
to Fort
Street High School until 2003, and I am currently
in third year at the
University of Sydney. If it also
helps, I look like this:

Help and troubleshooting hints
- If the website appears to be malfunctioning, or if
you do not think it looks quite right, check that your
computer meets some minimum specifications: a mouse,
a keyboard, running electricity, a modern browser, 16-bit
colour depth, 1024x768 resolution. Other than that, stop
being so picky. I'm the perfectionist around here :P
- If your computer does not meet the minimum specifications,
try out the site map, which
gives access to the major sections of the website from
the convenience of a single page.
- Printing: There is a known problem
with printing pages out using Mozilla Firefox (it tries
to place everything onto the one page, which causes the
text to run off the page). Either copy the text to a
word processor, or print using Internet Explorer.
- If the solid colours look blotchy, check that you have
your video card at the highest colour depth (32-bit preferred)
- If you are using Linux or some other half-baked operating
system, use Mozilla Firefox as that makes better font
substitution decisions than other browsers.
- If you are experiencing JavaScript errors, it is likely
that it's due to the Tripod adverts lurking in the background.
I've reduced the dependency on JavaScript in this version,
but there's nothing I can do about the ads.
From pen and paper to ruining your day
Blame:
- Macromedia Dreamweaver — the
best web editor on the market. Weaves your pages like
a dream. A pity it's going to be spoiled by big bad Adobe.
- Lycos Tripod
web hosting — an unbeatable 20MB free storage
with (albeit slow) FTP access, free photo album management
and Perl scripting.
- Adobe Photoshop — Anything
beats making gradient fills in Word and the PrtScn button;
the industry standard in photo manipulation.
Version history
Note on version numbers: The version number is incremented
when either there is a visible change in the template,
or when there is a significant change in the structure
of the information presented on this site. Content changes
or additions do not trigger a new version number.
Version 1.x (aka the e
n o c h . network) — Not a lot of content, hopeless
design and navigation that was centred around the home
page as inter-section links were not used. Hosted at http://enoch.freehosting.net/.
Version 2.0 (May
2003) — Now called "Intrepix", a complete break in
design compared with the old web site, much improved content
and division into sections, introduction of blogs, inter-section
links now used in the form of menus but still limited in
terms of hierarchical representation of content structure,
home page was a complete mess and hard to find relevant
material. Hosted at current site.
Version 2.1 (November
2003, launched January 2004) — Basic page
design was not changed much, but contained improved aesthetics
in header and footer, redesigned templates now utilise
subtemplates feature available in Macromedia Dreamweaver
MX, streamlined stylesheets to reduce size, extracted JavaScript
code to encourage reusability, dramatically expanded and
improved content structure, improved menu looks much better,
improved hierarchical reprsentation of site through use
of the side bar. Hosted at current site.
Version 3.0 (July 2005, codenamed "Sobriety") — rewritten
from the ground up to clear up the gunk that had been building
up for some time, especially in the stylesheets; slick
new template with a stronger emphasis on gradient fills;
replacement of "intrepix" menu by permanently
expanded sidebar; Wikipedia-style formatting and page structure;
change of Intrepix logo from "fiery clouds" to "towering
building"; a more restricted palette of colours; moved
blogs offsite to http://intrepix.blogspot.com/;
replacement of Photo Album with Tripod's automatic photo
hosting. Hosted at current site.
Version 3.01 (December
2005) — moved sidebar into template, with sub-menus
controlled via JavaScript; added image randomizer to home
page. Hosted at current site.
(Current version) Version 3.02 (February
2006) — refactored the first year uni notes into
one page because it will be impractical to continue listing
each course separately, renamed Terms and Conditions of
Use to Terms of Use and Privacy Policy to include a new
privacy policy. Hosted at current site.
