This site is written in XHTML, with a large amount of CSS to decorate it. Many things are dynamically generated with the aid of php and XML. The code should, hopefully, validate, if you care about such things!
The web–server (Apache) logs standard information (IP Addresses, HTTP referrer, and User Agents) which are used to monitor bandwidth and to optimise and improve the site (e.g. by working out which pages are the most popular). The Pleasant Companion does not use cookies.
Before you leave, please sign the guestbook!
A Print Style–sheet is provided for printing, which automatically hides all decorations, navigation links and colour.
This site uses a large number of somewhat unusual Unicode characters to show various symbols, such as musical ones (e.g. ♯ and ♭), fingering chart images (e.g. ○ and ◎) and simple decorative arrows (e.g. ⇒ and ⇑). If these look like small white boxes rather than meaningful signs, then please look at the Technical Information for assistance.
The Pleasant Companion is written, designed and maintained by Jacob Head. If you would like to find out more about him, have a look at his personal website.
