PetterHaggholm.net

Welcome to the website of the one and only Petter Häggholm. (Yes, really, one and only! Google and see! It's all me.)

On this page you will find information about me, some of my artwork, and possibly, in the future, some of my writing and programs. Of course, no run-off-the-mill website is complete without a page of links to places I find interesting, and my website is indeed run off the mill, or at least off a mill. More interestingly, you may want to read my thoughts and essays on various (quite varied) subjects.

You can also find my résumé here.

This page is valid XHTML 1.0 Strict and should look good in any conformant browser. (The CSS validator may complain about :last-child. It is a valid selector, in CSS 3; the validator just uses CSS 2.1 by default.) If it looks wrong, it's probably your browser’s fault. (Or I screwed up…let me know; my email’s to your left.) I've tested it in Firefox and Opera. I’m told it looks OK in IE7, though there’s missing functionality. I’m guessing it’ll look alright in IE8…

The site was built using mod_python. This is not because I think it'll be better than using a packaged framework like Django, nor because I think it makes me more productive. (If this were a professional project, I probably would look into using Django.) The reason is simple: I like playing with computers, and building my own framework is one way for me to play—and, not incidentally, to learn.

I also use jQuery, because it’s kind of cool and because DOM manipulation in raw Javascript is just painful.
