You forget CSS web design guru, Shovel :D

As for myself, I'm presently a student, but beyond that I'd rather not say. I recently did a search for somebody based only on their forum alias and the wealth of information which it yielded was quite scary. Names, contact details, interests etc. It's made me particularly paranoid about giving out personal information, hehe :)

Kind Regards

Spent approaching 10 years writing software to make hardware push bits around - variously video over SDI, video & data over satellite, terrestrial and WLAN links, everything over TCP/IP networks and most recently keeping the bits safe on RAID arrays.

You'd think by now the bits would know where they wanted to be...

I've spent the last 4 years working in local government as a support tech/developer.

Didn't do the uni thing, I have 10 GCSEs and 1 A level.

Not much else to tell really, got into the industry through hard work (always wanted to do it) and here I am :D

CDR is one sad motherfucker! Also if you people haven't learnt to take my ultra strong comments with jest by now I'm getting quite worried. :)

I'm at Brighton, and I doubt we'll have been in the same pub as I don't drink or go to pubs.
