I'll attempt to forego the whole life-story part here and give you some background on myself.
 
Born and bred (or is that bred and born?) in Adelaide, South Australia, Australia growing up in the city's north with my parents. Attended a public school until I was 12, and then was moved to the adjacent private school. Did well enough to pass every subject, but wasn't a straight-A student. Instead, I spent my later years following my interest in web development, meeting people at school. Together we formed a friendship and made the original version of this site, the name coming from one of them. Unfortunately we fell out, and I was left with this domain, as abstract as the name sound I like it. In years 11 and 12 I elected to study a TAFE (Teritary and Further Education) course whose formal name was "Information Technology, Certificate III (Client Support)". This covered interacting with the Microsoft Office suite and clients. It was around this point in my life that my parents separated, and my brother and I stayed with Dad, whilst mum moved out into a house that they were originally renting out to other people.

During my school days I developed a very-popular (10000+ userbase), but now defunct, PHP site for <a href='http://whatpulse.org'>WhatPulse</a>, along with an American whom I met on the WhatPulse forums called Adam Hubscher. The site provided signature images for people so they could put them in forums and compare e-penises. To be truthful, I did an original design and he rewrote it in quite possibly the most beautiful PHP that any human being has, can, and will ever produce.

From 2004 (Year 11 of my school days), I became involved in a LAN party South Australia called <a href='http://www.valhalla.net.au'>Valhalla</a>. Through this I was contacted by a local computer shop owner and got the job of writing them a job tracking system for the store. To this day and my knowledge, it is in still in use. Also through this computer shop owner I contacted
