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