overclocking, building computers, studying, remembering useless junk, collecting old boxes of hardware, a bit of c++, a bit of java, a bit of c#, a bit of ASP, quite a lot of php, html and css; repairing computers, wishing I had more money, open source web software (phpBB, joomla, wordpress et al), vBulletin.....

Really can't be bothered to list everything.

I am an expert in everything as much as my ability allows.

Hmmm, need to tidy up your website. I doesn't even validate

Edit: Especially if you are going to put the xhtml valid logo on it

Edit2: oh and can I ask what the html { is all about in your stylesheet?

none of the above. I specialise more in the hardware, water coooling of pc's inparticularly.

general OS stuff and routers etc, if theres a setting that needs changing, chances are ive googled it ^^

more seriously, i dont particularly have a speciality, atm im at a point in my life where i can just find most stuff out as i go. if someone posts a question and i dont knowe the answer i usually google it anyway

Building and repairing PC's.
Designing simple websites for people.
Windows Server 2003
Active Directory
Citrix

Sorted and thanks for pointing it out.


Not sure what you are on about here. There is 1 occurrence of but no occurrence of

Please clarify.

Hmmm, it may just be the web developer toolbar plugin for firefox that I have. Can't check in firebug at the moment as I'm on my laptop.

No problem as its the first entry in the CSS anything is possible.

It validates fine so I'm guessing a plugin bug. There are others as it screws with the DOM when certain combinations of CSS are present.

Edit: and I checked it in firebug and navigated to the stylesheet and it all looked fine too.

Edit 2: It's good to see that you conform to web standards both in CSS and XHTML(and accessibility, I might add). The company that I work for works hard towards this too, but our pages have dynamically generated content within and our customers don't have a clue about validating code, and our current CMS doesn't try to fix what they put in either (it has been made not to baulk at some things and reject others).

General MS stuff and project management. PRINCE2 and all that...

Its always an uphill battle I'm afraid. Spend most of my time trying to get sites to be accessible in the real world, if not to any specific tick box standard. There are very very few CMS's that actually produce accessible pages. Especially when you start talking complex tables etc. In fact since the demise of Ixos ( they build a load of one of my projects code in to make it work ) the only CMS I know of that is accessible back and front end is Defacto http://www.defacto-cms.com/. The guys at Nomensa are sheer geniuses in my opinion.

I have to declare a bias on that though I was the product manager for its development.
I'd really like to see these forums become accessible I know it is possible with PHPBB as the accessify forum is.http://www.accessifyforum.com/

The company I work with, produces websites for educational establishments and there are quiet a few rules regarding accessibility for such sites, and whilst we meet a lot of those targets, we obviously can't really do triple A accessibility with a CMS; because you're relying on the customer to meet that level rather than it being something you can feasibly do on a technical level.

I think I would have a bias too if that were the case. But then you still have to look around to see who does what better. New ideas and ways of doing things etc. This is certainly the model we are following, although with a lot of bespoke work to make editing as simple to do as using MS Word. But I'm not a programmer and so not involved in the development side of things.

Anything possible in PHP should be even more possible in django

Well if you ware into django have a read of this

Was all of that self taught or are you on a course?
