What's a Zwitterion?

Hopefully, you should be able to find the dictionary.com definition or the Wikipedia definition. Zwitterion was my brothers' suggestion when I asked him for an interesting word - I had to look it up.

Caching

One aspect of this site I've spent considerable effort on is the cachability of this site. I recommend you read Mark Nottingham's caching tutorial.

Search Engines

As far as I am aware, this site has never been submitted to any search engines. It does have useful keywords in the head section. I am happy that a "I'm Feeling Lucky" search on Google using "Mark Suter" takes you to this site.

I often describe this site as being close to technically perfect but lacking in content. I use checkbot and linbot to produce reports on this site as well as the analog statistics.

If by chance you are somehow responsible for a large website in Australia, read The National Office for the Information Economy's Accessibility page.

There are many good sites on website useability, for example, usability.gov. I try to follow most recommendations, for example, the W3's Quality Tips for Webmasters.
