Hello, and welcome to my area of
The TAZ Zone!

At the moment this is a static page, however once i pull my finger out, i might be
able to make it more dynamic… don’t know
how yet, but thats the idea.

Anyway please read on and find out all about me.

Enjoy!

I am mainly responsible for the TAZ Forum
and if any changes are made over there,
then it is a good bet that I probably made them. So far the additions and changes
that have been made have been primarily administrative, and the first proper change
that members noticed came when I added the links a member quotes section. Currently
I am working on a new Index page which can
be viewed here and eventually I plan
to have a number of different index’s where the user can choose which one they like in there profile.

Well, I was born in 1981 and grew up in Kent
in England. I have always had a
fascination with computers which can probably be blamed on my father. He always had a work laptop and if I remember correctly the first
game that I played on it was Elite. Ah I used to love that game, anyway as time moved on the next game that I can really properly remember was Doom. The best part about Doom IMHO
was its multiplayer ability and when my
cousins would come round they would bring there desktop with them so that we could hook them up with a serial cable.

Anyway as far as how I actually learnt about computers goes, it is mainly self taught.
Initially I used to learn by borrowing my fathers laptop, breaking it in some way (not
deliberately) and then panicking and eventually fixing what I had done before he realised. But
as I grew up started to actually understand
what different bits did. My knowledge really ballooned the day that our faithful P90 packed up. We couldn’t get it to work so my dad took it to the tech guys where he worked, they pronounced it officially dead, however they had a spare P100 sitting on the shelf and he took it off there hands for about £50 I believe.

Well that was great, however the best was still to come, a couple of months later he managed
to purchase another spare P100 from them, and also this time an 8 port hub.
Well, I was in heaven, suddenly rather than having to use serial cables I had a network.
From there the rest is history (although a rather large portion of that history is taken up with
Red Alert, Warcraft 2 and Starcraft).

I eventually did a Computer Science course at University where I primarily learnt PHP and
that is what has got me here today.
…final words…

if anyone has any comments then please post them in the forum, or if you don’t want to go public with them, then I can always be
reached by PM or by e-mail:

So that is me, hope you enjoy your time here
and I’ll see you around
