The Tech Deck

Welcome!

Many of the links on this site are placeholders, but the sidebar on the left can be used to navigate to different pages, which will open on the right-hand side.

Frameset Structure

This page uses an older HTML structure called a frameset. It splits the browser window into sections using <frame> elements, with one section for the menu and another for the content. An index page ties them together. This setup was common in older websites as a way to preview pages without reloading the whole layout. You can also drag the menu on the size to resize it.

Limitations

If you want to open a page in a new tab, you’ll need to:

  • Right-click the link and select “Open in new tab”, or
  • Tap and hold the link on a mobile device and choose that option.

To help with that, each section also includes a direct HTML link, so you can reference or bookmark pages outside of the frame view if needed.

I might move to <iframe>s in the future, but for now, it works like this since the old version was a bit janky.

What tiling background does this use?

It's using the one called "24517" from Mac OS 7.5.3. Kinda looks like real tiles doesn't it? Some pages may use different backgrounds because why not?
