16bit Display Required

16bit color depth (65536 colors) is the minimum requirement for viewing these www-pages as they were meant to be viewed. Of course 15bit is almost as good. 8bit (256 colors) on the other hand is not enough and looks terrible.

 

24bit Display Recommended

While 16bit is certainly enough to view practically any www-pages, 24bit is recommended for viewing any jpeg-images behind the links.

 

Warning: Foul Language

These www-pages as well as Incident can and will contain numerous errors in spelling and grammar and potentially offensive language. The author's native tongue is finnish; this explains some of the errors - some apparent errors in Personal Logs are intentional.

 

Incident Banner

If you would like - for any number of reasons - to promote Incident on your web-page, you may insert the following piece of HTML code at a suitable position.

<a href="http://jermi.dyndns.org/~jermi/Incident/"> <center> <img src="http://jermi.dyndns.org/~jermi/Incident/inci_b.gif" align="center" border="0"> </center> </a>

The result should look and act like this:

 

Monitor Tuning

I promised potentionally boring information, didn't I? Well, here you go:

How to tune your monitor for viewing Incident:

  1. Set contrast to maximum. Regardless of monitor type.
  2. Set brightness to the highest possible setting so that black still remains black.
  3. Adjust VGA mode 0x13 (320x200) picture height/width/position so that it fills the entire screen.

What not to do:

  1. Set vertical size to maximum for that italowestern look.
  2. Think that after executing the above tuning instructions the picture is still too dark and turn brightness way up. Take it from the author: it's supposed to be a bit gloomy.

 

Music

If Incident is too quiet for your taste, you can always listen to some music while viewing. You should choose for yourself, but the author feels that if music is to be listened while viewing Incident, it must be classical. Maybe a suitable part of:

  1. Beethoven: Symphonies 5, 7-9
  2. Goldsmith: Alien - Original Motion Picture Score
  3. Holst: The Planets
  4. Sibelius: Symphonies 3-6

As a footnote: music can ruin it as well. For me it is very hard to concentrate on anything else while Beethoven's ninth is playing.
