About Me

I live in Hove with my girlfriend, collect records and gadgets, avoid watching TV & taking the news too seriously, make an effort to keep in touch with old friends and drive a car that runs on vegetable oil (yep, like the stuff from the supermarket- straight into the tank, forget about that biodiesel junk) though I wish I still had my '67 split-screen VW bus.

In the winter we try to get out to my mate's place in France for a week's snowboarding , and spend the rest of the time in one of Brighton's many good pubs , bars or clubs when we're not hanging out at home.
In the summer we try to get away camping as much as possible- exploring the UK and its hidden treasures is the main mission.

Music is one of my passions- I can't be away from it for too long or I get cranky. I've been collecting records since I was a nipper and DJ from time to time.
I spend a lot of time behind my camera. Check out some of my photos on flickr .

I've been making websites professionally for over 12 years now, first started while living out in Texas while the internet was first exploding in the States and most of the people in the UK I told about the web thought I'd been turned into a super geeknerd. Now I try to balance my work time between making standards compliant websites and helping people out with their computers.

There's more of my ramblings, things and stuff here.
