Standards Compliance
This web site validates as XHTML 1.1
as standardised by W3C. It uses Cascading
Style Sheets, which validate as CSS, for its
formatting.
This web site voluntarily aims to comply with U.S. Federal
Government guidelines for accessibility of web sites as specified by
Section 508 of
the Rehabilitation Act.
My educational background is part American, part Australian. This
web site was created over a long period of time, which may become
apparent on this web site as apparent inconsistencies in spelling
preferences or idioms used.
This web site was created using Kate and Vim,
and the primary test browser was Mozilla
Firefox on systems running the Debian distribution
of Gnu/Linux with KDE on an SXGA+ TFT monitor with a resolution of
117 DPI and a UXGA CRT monitor with a resolution of
100 DPI. However, every effort has been made to provide a web
site that is fully usable regardless of the reader's platform. The site
has also been tested with Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 under Wine
(installed using the very handy installation script by Sérgio
Lopes).

Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.5
License
The Work (as defined
below) is provided under the terms of this Creative Commons Public
License (“CCPL” or “License”). The Work is
protected by copyright and/or other applicable law. Any use of the Work
other than as authorized under this License or copyright law is
prohibited.
By exercising any
rights to the Work provided here, You accept and agree to be bound by
the terms of this License. The Licensor grants You the rights contained
here in consideration of Your acceptance of such terms and conditions.
1. Definitions
- “Collective Work” means a work,
such as a periodical issue, anthology or encyclopedia, in which the
Work in its entirety in unmodified form, along with a number of
other contributions, constituting separate and independent works in
themselves, are assembled into a collective whole. A work that
constitutes a Collective Work will not be considered a Derivative
Work (as defined below) for the purposes of this License.
- “Derivative Work” means a work
based upon the Work or upon the Work and other pre-existing works,
such as a translation, musical arrangement, dramatization,
fictionalization, motion picture version, sound recording, art
reproduction, abridgment, condensation, or any other form in which
the Work may be recast, transformed, or adapted, except that a work
that constitutes a Collective Work will not be considered a
Derivative Work for the purpose of this License. For the avoidance
of doubt, where the Work is a musical composition or sound
recording, the synchronization of the Work in timed-relation with a
moving image ("synching") will be considered a Derivative Work for
the purpose of this License.
- “Licensor” means the individual or
entity that offers the Work under the terms of this License.
- “Original Author” means the
individual or entity who created the Work.
- “Work” means the copyrightable work
of authorship offered under the terms of this License.
- “You” means an individual or entity
exercising rights under this License who has not previously violated
the terms of this License with respect to the Work, or who has
received express permission from the Licensor to exercise rights
under this License despite a previous violation.
- “License Elements” means the
following high-level license attributes as selected by Licensor and
indicated in the title of this License: Attribution, Noncommercial,
ShareAlike.
2. Fair Use Rights. Nothing in this license is
intended to reduce, limit, or restrict any rights arising from fair use,
first sale or other limitations on the exclusive rights of the copyright
owner under copyright law or other applicable laws.
3. License Grant. Subject to the terms and
conditions of this License, Licensor hereby grants You a worldwide,
royalty-free, non-exclusive, perpetual (for the duration of the
applicable copyright) license to exercise the rights in the Work as
stated below:
- to reproduce the Work, to incorporate the Work into one or more
Collective Works, and to reproduce the Work as incorporated in the
Collective Works;
- to create and reproduce Derivative Works;
- to distribute copies or phonorecords of, display publicly,
perform publicly, and perform publicly by means of a digital audio
transmission the Work including as incorporated in Collective
Works;
- to distribute copies or phonorecords of, display publicly,
perform publicly, and perform publicly by means of a digital audio
transmission Derivative Works;
The above rights may be exercised in all media and formats whether
now known or hereafter devised. The above rights include the right to
make such modifications as are technically necessary to exercise the
rights in other media and formats. All rights not expressly granted by
Licensor are hereby reserved, including but not limited to the rights
set forth in Sections 4(e) and 4(f).
4. Restrictions. The license granted in
Section 3 above is expressly made subject to and limited by the
following restrictions:
- You may distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or
publicly digitally perform the Work only under the terms of this
License, and You must include a copy of, or the Uniform Resource
Identifier for, this License with every copy or phonorecord of the
Work You distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or publicly
digitally perform. You may not offer or impose any terms on the Work
that alter or restrict the terms of this License or the recipients'
exercise of the rights granted hereunder. You may not sublicense the
Work. You must keep intact all notices that refer to this License
and to the disclaimer of warranties. You may not distribute,
publicly display, publicly perform, or publicly digitally perform
the Work with any technological measures that control access or use
of the Work in a manner inconsistent with the terms of this License
Agreement. The above applies to the Work as incorporated in a
Collective Work, but this does not require the Collective Work apart
from the Work itself to be made subject to the terms of this
License. If You create a Collective Work, upon notice from any
Licensor You must, to the extent practicable, remove from the
Collective Work any credit as required by clause 4(d), as
requested. If You create a Derivative Work, upon notice from any
Licensor You must, to the extent practicable, remove from the
Derivative Work any credit as required by clause 4(d), as
requested.
- You may distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or
publicly digitally perform a Derivative Work only under the terms of
this License, a later version of this License with the same License
Elements as this License, or a Creative Commons iCommons license
that contains the same License Elements as this License (e.g.
Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.5 Japan). You must
include a copy of, or the Uniform Resource Identifier for, this
License or other license specified in the previous sentence with
every copy or phonorecord of each Derivative Work You distribute,
publicly display, publicly perform, or publicly digitally perform.
You may not offer or impose any terms on the Derivative Works that
alter or restrict the terms of this License or the recipients'
exercise of the rights granted hereunder, and You must keep intact
all notices that refer to this License and to the disclaimer of
warranties. You may not distribute, publicly display, publicly
perform, or publicly digitally perform the Derivative Work with any
technological measures that control access or use of the Work in a
manner inconsistent with the terms of this License Agreement. The
above applies to the Derivative Work as incorporated in a Collective
Work, but this does not require the Collective Work apart from the
Derivative Work itself to be made subject to the terms of this
License.
- You may not exercise any of the rights granted to You in
Section 3 above in any manner that is primarily intended for or
directed toward commercial advantage or private monetary
compensation. The exchange of the Work for other copyrighted works
by means of digital file-sharing or otherwise shall not be
considered to be intended for or directed toward commercial
advantage or private monetary compensation, provided there is no
payment of any monetary compensation in connection with the exchange
of copyrighted works.
- If you distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or
publicly digitally perform the Work or any Derivative Works or
Collective Works, You must keep intact all copyright notices for the
Work and provide, reasonable to the medium or means You are
utilizing: (i) the name of the Original Author (or pseudonym,
if applicable) if supplied, and/or (ii) if the Original Author
and/or Licensor designate another party or parties (e.g. a sponsor
institute, publishing entity, journal) for attribution in Licensor's
copyright notice, terms of service or by other reasonable means, the
name of such party or parties; the title of the Work if supplied; to
the extent reasonably practicable, the Uniform Resource Identifier,
if any, that Licensor specifies to be associated with the Work,
unless such URI does not refer to the copyright notice or licensing
information for the Work; and in the case of a Derivative Work, a
credit identifying the use of the Work in the Derivative Work (e.g.,
“French translation of the Work by Original Author,” or
“Screenplay based on original Work by Original Author”).
Such credit may be implemented in any reasonable manner; provided,
however, that in the case of a Derivative Work or Collective Work,
at a minimum such credit will appear where any other comparable
authorship credit appears and in a manner at least as prominent as
such other comparable authorship credit.
- For the avoidance of doubt, where the Work is a musical
composition:
- Performance Royalties Under Blanket
Licenses. Licensor reserves the exclusive right to
collect, whether individually or via a performance rights
society (e.g. ASCAP, BMI, SESAC), royalties for the public
performance or public digital performance (e.g. webcast) of the
Work if that performance is primarily intended for or directed
toward commercial advantage or private monetary
compensation.
- Mechanical Rights and Statutory Royalties.
Licensor reserves the exclusive right to collect, whether
individually or via a music rights agency or designated agent
(e.g. Harry Fox Agency), royalties for any phonorecord You
create from the Work (“cover version”) and
distribute, subject to the compulsory license created by
17 USC Section 115 of the US Copyright Act (or
the equivalent in other jurisdictions), if Your distribution of
such cover version is primarily intended for or directed toward
commercial advantage or private monetary compensation.
- Webcasting Rights and Statutory Royalties. For
the avoidance of doubt, where the Work is a sound recording,
Licensor reserves the exclusive right to collect, whether
individually or via a performance-rights society (e.g.
SoundExchange), royalties for the public digital performance (e.g.
webcast) of the Work, subject to the compulsory license created by
17 USC Section 114 of the US Copyright Act (or the
equivalent in other jurisdictions), if Your public digital
performance is primarily intended for or directed toward commercial
advantage or private monetary compensation.
5. Representations, Warranties and Disclaimer
Unless otherwise
mutually agreed to by the parties in writing, Licensor offers the work
as-is and makes no representations or warranties of any kind concerning
the work, express, implied, statutory or otherwise, including, without
limitation, warranties of title, merchantibility, fitness for a
particular purpose, noninfringement, or the absence of latent or other
defects, accuracy, or the presence of absence of errors, whether or not
discoverable. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied
warranties, so such exclusion may not apply to You.
6. Limitation on Liability. Except to the extent
required by applicable law, in no event will Licensor be liable to you
on any legal theory for any special, incidental, consequential, punitive
or exemplary damages arising out of this license or the use of the work,
even if Licensor has been advised of the possibility of such
damages.
7. Termination
- This License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate
automatically upon any breach by You of the terms of this License.
Individuals or entities who have received Derivative Works or
Collective Works from You under this License, however, will not have
their licenses terminated provided such individuals or entities
remain in full compliance with those licenses. Sections 1, 2,
5, 6, 7, and 8 will survive any termination of this License.
- Subject to the above terms and conditions, the license granted
here is perpetual (for the duration of the applicable copyright in
the Work). Notwithstanding the above, Licensor reserves the right to
release the Work under different license terms or to stop
distributing the Work at any time; provided, however that any such
election will not serve to withdraw this License (or any other
license that has been, or is required to be, granted under the terms
of this License), and this License will continue in full force and
effect unless terminated as stated above.
8. Miscellaneous
- Each time You distribute or publicly digitally perform the Work
or a Collective Work, the Licensor offers to the recipient a license
to the Work on the same terms and conditions as the license granted
to You under this License.
- Each time You distribute or publicly digitally perform a
Derivative Work, Licensor offers to the recipient a license to the
original Work on the same terms and conditions as the license
granted to You under this License.
- If any provision of this License is invalid or unenforceable
under applicable law, it shall not affect the validity or
enforceability of the remainder of the terms of this License, and
without further action by the parties to this agreement, such
provision shall be reformed to the minimum extent necessary to make
such provision valid and enforceable.
- No term or provision of this License shall be deemed waived and
no breach consented to unless such waiver or consent shall be in
writing and signed by the party to be charged with such waiver or
consent.
- This License constitutes the entire agreement between the
parties with respect to the Work licensed here. There are no
understandings, agreements or representations with respect to the
Work not specified here. Licensor shall not be bound by any
additional provisions that may appear in any communication from You.
This License may not be modified without the mutual written
agreement of the Licensor and You.
