G E K E . N E T is the design & web services outlet for
Jonathan Cook, who is also known by the handle/nick/pseudonym
phalen180 or phalen orion.
G E K E . N E T was created in April, 2002 in order to separate those services from other
web projects; previously designs created by Jonathan had been credited under the name oneinfin8tyzero collective,
which may have caused some confusion, since other members of the group were rarely involved.
Jonathan has been programming in Visual Basic since 1996, and creating and managing websites
using HTML and JavaScript/JScript since 1997, including several sites with hundreds of pages of content.
Since 1999, he has been combining his knowledge of Visual Basic with his knowledge of web design
to create ASP-based (Advanced Server Pages) web solutions. In addition, in the past year, an emphasis has been placed on
creating designs using CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) and standards compliant HTML and XHTML.
We believe it is important to design with web standards in mind; While we attempt to create designs which will "degrade" and remain usable in
4.x version browsers and on CSS/DOM incompatible browsers, it is our intention to only support 'styled' content on
standards-compliant browsers such as Internet Explorer 6 and Mozilla FireFox.
