You’ve stumbled over the About page! Probably an accident, but none the less. Welcome to my library of ramblings about the internet and selected parts of the non-internet. My my, this ol’ site has been ticking over for a good many years now, so I’m glad you could come in and have a look.
Although I am a Systems Analyst and .NET developer by trade, my “spare” time is dedicated to the front-end (not design, mind you… I still can’t colour in the lines and I’m using photoshop!) – JavaScript, jQuery, anything on the client-side. That’s my favourite side. Also, I like making electronic noises that sometimes resemble music.
Feel free to send me some mail at mrspeaker@gmail.com or say hi on twitter. Otherwise, get clicky on the site and see if you can find something that takes your fancy:
