I'm about to start my final year (hopefully final) of university studying BSc Computing at plymouth university. All things going good so far, on track for a 1:1, which will be a great thing to hide the A-Level grades
I switch between living in plymouth (@ Uni) and in Gilwern (@ Home), both are in the UK tho. Usually via a 4 hour train journey, would be 3 hours if connections where even remotely timed to work. Term times at September -> November, Jan -> March. For my final year
I have 2 blogs, Dev Log on www.nbdev.co.uk and my personal one which is now on www.techienick.com.
www.nbdev.co.uk is my development site, which I've had for near on 5 years now.
I've liked computers for god knows how long now, I think I got my first computer in 1994, which was a compaq. I was only 7 at this time, and I was already on it too much. In about 1996 I managed to pursuade my parents to let me have dail up internet access, and have been on the net daily since then. In 1999 I set up my first website for a friend, and things grew from there, moving from HTML, to PHP, to ASP and now finally ASP.net!
In 2003/4 I stopped making websites, to consentrate on my A-Levels, which went drastically wrong, but I still managed to get the grade for University.
Along with being a CS MVP, I'm also a Microsoft Beta tester, including Windows Live, Exchange Server 2007 SP1, and more.
I'm a loyal technet plus subscriber, not MSDN unfortunatly, too expensive. The subscription gets me cool stuff like, free vista, exchange, windows server, and more
I currently run, and manage a Server on my home network, this is now just Mail for the nbdev.co.uk domain. I co-share a VPS on a telligent employee's beast of server in the USA, with another CS MVP and telligent employee Rick.
