PETE'S THOUSAND PEAKS WEBSITE TECHNICAL INFORMATION

For those interested, this website was created and run using Adobe PageMill 3.0 on a Rev. B, iMac (15" monitor), Apple computer, later with an eMac Combo computer (17" monitor) running Classic, Mac OS 9.2.2. Sitemeter provides the hit counter, and Dartmouth College offered the FTP clients I use, Fetch 3.0.3, Fetch 5.3.1, Fetch 5.5.3, and now, Fetch 5.6.

Using two Nikon Coolpix digital cameras, mainly a L5, and L10, sometimes as back-up, I utilize mostly 1 GB San Disk SD memory cards, with also a 512 MB and a 2 GB Kingston card, a 1 GB Transcend card, three 1 GB Crucial cards, then 1 GB and 2 GB PQI 60x high speed cards.* Formerly mainly using a Coolpix 880, a L4, and a 2000, most images captured before April, 2001, were digitized with a Minolta Scan Dual III film scanner from Kodachrome 64 transparencies, taken mostly using a Nikon FM or FM2 film camera. For many of my former, pre-April, 2001, archival images, I used a Umax 1220U flatbed scanner with a UTA-3A transparency adaptor, scanning Kodachrome 64 slides! Presently, too, I am utilizing the services of a professional scanning company.

I've used Adobe PhotoDeluxe 3.0 (running with Mac OS 8.6, then OS 9.2.2), and Adobe Photoshop Elements 3.0, running with Mac OS 10.4.11, to work on the original images. Panorama Maker 3.0.1.37 created some of the longitudinal images displayed on a few webpages. I'm now using iPhoto 8.1.2, and Adobe Photoshop Elements 8.0, running on Mac OS 10.6.3.

I'll be pleased to help interested, good-willed, persons to start work on their own websites. My Hostik website is hosted by Lanset Communications, as part of my 1 GB lite hosting webspace. Aside from the costs of the digital equipment, travel, and some photo-editing software, I spend only a modest annual fee to maintain my site. Therefore, it remains ad-free.

Some hardware recommendations are set forth here.

Also, here's a quick tip in doing a search solely of this website.

* My experience is that memory cards can fail. You are strongly advised to have back-up. Perhaps some data retrieval may be performed by the vendor, though.
