About this Website

This website is an outlet for Cat's Eye Technologies' open-source projects.

Location

The website has moved to its present domain, catseye.tc, just last year. (More information about this move can be found on our news page.) Historically, the website has been located at many URLs before catseye.tc. It has been hosted at catseye.mine.nu:8080, www.catseye.mb.ca, www.cats-eye.com, and, way back in the mists of time, www.pangea.ca/cet/.

Feel free to link to this site using URLs that begin with http://catseye.tc/. The www prefix is not required.

Content

The website hosts downloadable, browsable projects (mostly software projects, but also some electronic designs and other miscellany,) informative articles, and Chris Pressey's personal content.

Structure

Our aim is that this website both conforms to W3C standards and provides a reasonable user experience. Given the sheer variation that exists between browsers, this is not always easy. Our webpages strive to conform to the W3C Recommendation XHTML 1.0 Strict. We use CSS for layout of these pages; we no longer use tables, or anything resembling tables (like display: table-cell), for layout.

We do use Javascript on the pages on this site, but judiciously. For more information, you can read about our approach to Javascript.

Most of the webpages on this site are generated from underlying XML documents using XSLT stylesheets, even the pages which do not have any significant data structure to them. This is not just for buzzword conformance -- it helps to catch any XHTML errors early, as well as providing formatting and layout that is consistent across the site while being easy to change.
