How did a Lighthouse get here? (Hint: other people did most of the work)First, the pictures. Lighthouse uses a series of memorable photographic images in a blatant attempt to lodge itself in your memory. The shot of Cape Hatteras Light above and most of the lighthouse photographs on this site came from a bloke called Bill Britten, the systems librarian at the University of Tennessee Libraries in his working hours, a brilliant photographer in his spare time, and a generous site administrator to boot. The photographs here have been cropped, reduced and otherwise altered. Visit Bill's Lighthouse Getaway and admire them in their full glory.Special thanks this month to Cliff at ocean.com.au, for spotting the dodgy links on the Homesite review page. Incentive comes from Melbourne's The Age newspaper, whose computer editor, Mike van Niekerk, commissioned the column on which this site is based. The moral support and practical advice comes from Brenda Walker, and Jenna and Claire disrupt life in the nicest possible way, all the way up to 2.30 a.m. Mira Networking has provided technical assistance, a cheap and quickly-accessed site, and never-fail Internet access.  The site itself is built with the world's best shareware HTML editor, HomeSite, from cartoonist and programmer extraordinaire Nick Bradbury.CorelDraw 6.0, Microsoft Image Composer, Map This!, HTML Validator and FTP Explorer are also helping make and upload the pages.

on a Web page appears to be yearning for the bad old days, before the
Web, when you had very little chance of reading a document written on
another computer, another word processor, or another network." - Tim Berners-Lee (inventor of the World Wide Web), July 1996
