Web development

Web development is creating applications on the web, oftentimes interfacing with a database. I also have a page for LampResources.
I code by hand, editing with Vim inside a terminal running Screen. I write HTML 4.01 Strict, consciously avoiding XHTML 1.0 Strict. (XHTML is XML, and I refuse to send XHTML without the proper XML content-type.) I write semantic markup and depend heavily on CSS 2. Coding is done in PHP 4, EZ SQL facilitates access to MySQL databases, and content is served with Apache 1.3. In many cases, revision management is handled by Subversion.
I use Mozilla Firefox, because InternetExplorerSucks.

[edit] Accessibility
Accessibility is important. Are you turning away viewers?
- Web inaccessibility 'creates net underclass'. The Register.
[edit] Pet Peeves
The following web-related things get on my nerves:
- Flash-based advertisements, especially when they suck up all my CPU cycles.
- Links that open a new window. Thanks, but I have enough going on as it is.
- PDFs that open in-browser. I want a PDF-enabled browser as much as I want a toaster-alarm clock.
