Jhnet is the showcase or, more accurately, dumping-ground for stuff made by Jonathan Heathcote. As such, the target audience is "whoever shows up".
The site was made purely using open-source tools. The site was designed using Inkscape. The HTML, CSS and other code was done by hand.
These days, most of the site's content is generated by a shell script which automatically converts my home directory into the pages you see here. That is why most pages here are static HTML (and also why a suspicious number of index.htm's are lying around).
In short: I had a domain and needed to populate it.
In general I am a believer in open and free content. Everything you see on the site (unless otherwise stated) you may take and use under a Creative Commons BY-NC-SA license or the GNU GPLv3.
I have written a tool called 's' which is a shell-script based utitlity for setting up linux user accounts. wget/curl my website and pipe the output into sh and you will see a fully interactive utility which can do all sorts of things like installing some of my dot files.
I'm a Computer Science student at the University of Manchester who is passionate about technology. I'm also not very good at writing about myself so this is all I'll say for now.
