Ok, so I've told you I live on the Isle of Wight, but where exactly is that? Its currently, and will be for quite a while, at the south of England across the water from Portsmouth. Its quite a peaceful island, with beautiful scenary which makes great inspiration and gives me a chance to get some amazing shots with my camera. Everywhere on the Island is only about 30 minutes from the beach.
To get to the Island you must first cross the solent (stretch of water between the mainland and Isle of Wight), there is a hovercraft which takes 10minutes, and WightLink and Red Funnel who operate various speedy passenger only crossing and bigger boats for vehicles. Every year we host the Isle of Wight Festival, a great music festival attracting over 50,000 people and some of the biggest bands - including Stereophonics, The Rolling Stones, The Who and Muse are just a few who have played at the festival.
My skill range is vast, the web programming languages I know: HTML (Technically a mark-up language), PHP, CSS, JavaScript, MySQL, I also work with Ajax and jQuery, which make dynamic content much easier to produce. To create websites I use Notepad2, a small light-weight text editor with colour coding, Photoshop CS4, simply the best image editor and creator, and Flash CS4, to produce content such as the part in the top-left corner of this site.
When it comes to desktop programming, I use Visual Basic for creating Windows based applications, Batch for creating Windows batch scripts for various things - for example network drives etc., I also know GML (GameMaker Language) an easy to use language built for a easy to use Game creator. I have also got a small bit of experience in C++ and Python, however I haven't completely explored these yet.
I am also interested in Photography, and can often be seen out and about taking pictures, I like to use a different approach to Photography, just one object in a picture, with no life, is quite boring, I like to create vibrant photos with loads of action going on. My
Flickr account can be found here! I also occasionally film various stuff, which I edit in Premier Pro CS4 and After Effects CS4, I've created a short horror film and various parkour films, these can be seen
on my YouTube here! I've also done worked on a BBC project to create a short film!
