And I guess it’s best I start with a big hello!

After plenty of time working on client projects, I’ve finally built myself a decent place of my own.

To introduce myself … I’m a great believer in Open Source and the principles behind it, and have been working full-time developing Web Applications for a number of years. I love coding to standards, and religiously follow various W3C specs and guidelines, taking it to heart when I notice others don’t.

Having worked in agencies big (Wunderman – the largest DM agency in the UK) and small (TBS – a grand total of four staff), along with a large agenda of freelance  and personal projects, I am always stumbling across things that amaze me every day – and shall be sharing most of them here.

I have to admit at this early stage – I am going to largely use this whole website as my own personal information store, but you are of course more than welcome to read, comment, and disagree as much as you feel fit! And although I can’t always release all my source-code, I solemnly promise to post and share as much as can, as often as I can.

In my spare time I’m a keen sailor, and water-sports enthusiast, so you very well may find the odd sporting article creeping into here, ignore or laugh at it as you feel fit!

I’m always looking for interesting ideas and projects to work on, so always feel free to get in touch!

YouTube won’t allow you to embed this video, but I thought I’d end this introduction with a link to the classic scene from The IT Crowd, about “The Internet”:

It was good to meet you!
