Conceptual Aspects
Home page
The objective of my home page is to illustrate who I am and what I
am doing. I also want the people whom I love to appear at my home page
since I miss them very much. I want it to be as simple as possible. Besides
I want to link it to some important sites where I can find resources for
my work.
Work page
The objective of my work page is simply to show what I have done in
TECFA.
Technical aspects
I used Emacs to create all the pages, since it is required to use HTML language to do the work, although I found that it is much easier to use Netscape Composer. For some of the pages I used Netscape Composer and then I opened them in Emacs to modify. But unfortunately they appear not as smart as in Netscape Composer. At the moment they will remain ugly for a while and I will improve them later on.
Processes taken
From the very beginning I have been working on my home page with Emacs.
It is really hard to try to memorize all the HTML commands. At first I
found it is hopeless to realize what I desired for my home page. But fortunately
I obtained a Chinese version of HTML manual which helped me a lot
in my work. But it is very simple. There are only the basic commands in
it. I had to change my mind whenever I can not have it appear on the page
because of the technical problems. For example I want to welcome people
to come to my home page with some animation, but I failed to do it. And
then I changed it to blinks which appear not so good but it is better to
greet people "seriously". Another problem I met is that if I saved the
file in disk O and later on when in Emas I opened file in O, the file didn't
appear. So I had to save it on the local computer and after a day's work
to save it again on O.
For the work page, at first I used Netscape Composer at mentioned above
and then I learned the requirements. So I had to transform it by using
Emacs.
The most complicated problem now is transference between the disks.
As above mentioned, I saved all my files both in disk O and in the local
PC. Now as required I have to send all the related files in "export/comm.....".
There are quite a few changes in the names, thus the resources of the pages
have to be modified otherwise the related things will not appear.
For MOO, it is the biggest the problem. I am completely lost there.
I don't know what I can do there. It seems to me that it is simply a place
to talk. I think it is because I have not learned the commands or the basic
ideas of it. I will try to find the manuals of it and I hope I will learn.
