Software
Most of this site was created using Director 7 Shockwave Internet Studio

Connectivity for the multiuser movies is provided by the Shockwave Multiuser Server .

The html pages were created in Dreamweaver.
This cool new look was taken from a Dreamweaver template that I downloaded from Macromedia's Dreamweaver pages..
Most of the graphics were created in Fireworks.
  (I can't believe I work for a company that make so much cool software)
Hardware  
Back end server hardware provided by the nice folks at Intergraph.
   
Statement of purpose... and a little history.

This site is a personal effort to provide a place for the community of Shockwave Multiuser developers to come chat and share source code. The main place for exchanging questions and ideas is the the newsgroup. But this site provides a collection of resources with an element of real time. The site has been an evolving resource for multiuser developers, and I hope it will continue as a community gathering spot.

The site began in Spring 1999, I had been the Director engineering team and done some programming on the Shockwave Multiuser Server and Xtra. I also wrote the D7 multiuser behaviors. At the time, Macromedia's documentation was a little sparse, so I whipped up these pages to provide much needed resources.

Now that Jay Armstrong has written some wonderful documentation for Shockwave Multiuser Server 2, and Chris Campbell continues to publish tech notes that provide tips, tricks and even source code, I debated retiring the site. In fact, for a while, I actively tried to make it obsolete. As if you may have noticed, by my late night efforts in web design, I decided to keep it.

Special thanks to Dave Simmons, Mike Edmunds and Kevin Lynch for all their support.

addendum

I'm now maintaining this page, and trooping with the Shockwave Multiuser Server Team through D8+ development. I think that this is a wonderful community-based program that should stay alive and promote communication over this big (sometimes) impersonal Internet.

Special thanks to Dave Simmons, Sarah Allan, Chris Campbell, William Jones, and Allison Kelsey for all their support.
