Colophon
Here are some notes about how this website is made.
Logo
The show's logo (shown right) is a version of the Hacker Emblem. As all good nerds will know the glider which Eric S. Raymond chose for the hacker emblem can be in any of four different states, so I picked an alternative state for the glider to be in for the show's logo. The state I picked looks a little bit like a "J", for "Jay Jay", don't you think? :)

Secret Links
Can you keep a secret? There are two handy pages I made for my own use. I don't advertise them because they use massive HTML tables so the pages aren't responsive (i.e. they don't look good on mobile devices). But if you're brave you can find them here:
I also have some notes about YouTube hacks over here: YouTube Hacks.
Shortcut Keys
There are some hotkeys you can use to speed your navigation. Just press the key for the page you want. I added this support for hotkeys because I use this website quite a lot while I'm working on the show. It's mostly just here for my use but it would be cool if someone else found it useful too! I'm not sure if it will work on all browsers, but it works on recent versions of Firefox and Chromium. The main hotkey you have to remember is '?' for this section of this page, then you can take it from there.
