Me:

I've had an almost uncontrollable curiocity for practically everything electronic since I could hold a screw driver, even now it's still pretty common to find me voiding the warrenty on nearly anything from TVs to PDAs, though they usually end up working better afterward.

Questions I frequently get asked:

• How'd you come up with the name 'rummik'?

  It's taken from a game I used to play a lot called 'rummikub', though it's pronounced differently; rummikub is pronounced rum-ee-cube, rummik is pronounced rum-mik.

• What do you do?

  I mainly do freelance programming for Web Sites (JS, PHP, CSS, (x)HTML), though I've been known to occasionally write some small Shell Scripts, I also dabble a bit in Application and Game Development (Perl, PHP, JS). Other technologies I have experience working with include: MooTools, setting up LAMP Servers (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP), Server Administration, and (sometimes) Site Design.

• How long have you been a programmer?

  Around 9 years. (Amazing for someone in my age group.)

• Could you write something for me?

  Chances are, yes. However, don't expect it to be immediate. Writing and debugging code takes time, not to mention I don't work for anyone in specific, so I may already be working on a project (in which case, there may be a waiting period before I'm available for work). The best way to find out is to contact me, with a description of what you want, and I'll let you know if/when I'll be available to do it.

Frequently (Un)Asked Questions:

// a list of questions that I've been asked when talking about the site

• What's with the T/Arrows?

  The design for the site was originally going to be used in a game, the name (removed) is why they're in the shape of a T. Anyway, I decided I liked the design a little too much, and it worked better as a site for myself rather than one for one of my games, so it seems to have worked out rather well.

• So it's Flash?

  Actually, it's mostly XHTML and CSS, with a bit of JavaScript thrown in for transitional effects. (MooTools helped a lot when it came to those) Though, both JavaScript and ActionScript are ECMAScript based, so it's not like I couldn't have...

• Why not use Flash?

  There's quite a lot of reasons not to, the biggest being there aren't enough supported platforms (for instance, there's no plugin for PowerPC Linux). So by not using Flash I'm making it so more people can easily view the site, and also making it easier for people to learn from what I've written.
