Name: Gary M. Gadsdon
Age:  25
Location: London, England
Quote: So this is the luck of the draw..
Position: Lead Customiser

A Bio? Hmm... Not much to say really, I'm your average Londoner who likes to watch the Simpsons and Futurama when I get the chance, maintain the best and only Maggie Simpson website, and a forum. I've been webdesigning for only 2 years since June 2004 when I took over the Maggie site from the previous owner. During that time I've learned HTML, a bit of PHP, a bit of Flash and alot of Paint Shop Pro and Fireworks.

Offline, I went to college (just left) and hopefully gonna get into Uni (depending on what they say, I havent heard from them yet) in a course with webdesign or something to do with Internet Studies. And who knows I might get in. :P

UPDATE: Uni has become a ******. :P But I'm picking up some new stuff. Like C#. :P

Roll on the questions!

Not at the moment, I did have a cat, but we had to give her away because my brother got allergic, a fish which swam backwards and a hamster.

Green

3. What kind of music do you like?
Mostly stuff from video games, Nobuo Uematsu specifically.

What's the only city in England that doesn't have a cathedral?  Ever been there?  Also, why isn't it pronounced the same way the river is pronounced?   :P
