white site
This site is devoted to the media works of Jeff Green.
 
It is optimized for Netscape 3.0. and IE 4.0
 
You may view the site on black or white. Wherever you see a dot like this:  black site   in the upper right corner of a page you can click it to switch to the opposite background. If a page is part of a framed area you can click on this icon: no frame  to view the page without the frame, and this icon: frame  to return to the frame environment.
 
The radio dramas may be listened to in their entirety through something called HTTP streaming, which is pretty well the same as normal RealAudio except you can't skip ahead to any point in the file you want.  You will still need a RealAudio plug-in on your browser, and clicking on the file will direct you to the download page if you don't have it installed.
The Cowboy Who? pages have RealVideo files for which you will also need the RealPlayer.
 
Zgreen #3 (interactive poetry) and the Audio page have Shockwave Flash files, for which you will also need a plug-in, and which will also automatically direct you to a download page.
 
Graphically many pages have animated GIFs, which cannot be handled by all browsers, and those with slower connections may find the load time excessive. Many of the pages also utilize Javascript for rollovers.
 
JAVASCRIPT NOTE: Move your cursor over the black space above the text on the preceding entry page. If no other images become visible (or just to look at cause it's kinda cool) then try the Java-free homepage.
 
Even for browsers that can handle Javascript the scripted elements may cause the download to freeze. At these times you can usually click on the image to reload the page.
 
The novel pages ("Spaxter") load, in your browser's default font, with background images which increase reading difficulty but also texturize the experience to enhance the narrative. It is designed for the kind of short reading sessions common to web usage. If serious reading is desired it is recommended you capture the text and bring it up in your favourite word processor, or read the novel without backgrounds on the White Site.
