Greetings everyone!

My name is Simon, I'm 37 & I live on a smallish Island off the south coast of England called the Isle of Wight.

Although it is pretty rural, I've managed to live here most of my 20 years as a software engineer, videogame developer, writer and now web developer through the magic of the interweb and it's precusors.

In my day I have coded in Z80, 6502, 680x0 assembly languages for Amiga / ST videogames, C / C++ (along with DirectX and OpenGL) for real-time 3D visualisation applications and early work on networked virtual worlds.

I currently work in web development, using technologies such as Ruby on Rails, PHP & Javascript. Naturally I use all modern web standards such as semantic xHTML, CSS and extra-shiny colour gradients.

Hi Simon, welcome to DaniWeb.

Welcome, questions in the game development area seem like they would be right up your alley.

Hi and welcome to DaniWeb. Assembly gaming, eh? I wrote a Space Invaders game in ASM once.

Hurrah! not only british but a thirty something too.

Welcome aboard :)

Thanks Dani, nice to be here.

Assembly is of course the pinnacle of fine geeking. These script kiddies today don't know they're born. ;)
