    A bit about me.. Well I'm a 17 year old College student living in the United Kingdom doing a level 3 course on Game Development (All aspects). I'm an ex-Website designer for a few companies, and an ex-Graphics Designer for a few as well, I don't stray farther than Photoshop. Most of my time goes to studying new languages, both computer and verbal, the rest goes to social time and the dance mat. I'm currently learning PHP, C++ and kickboxing. Also trying to get to grips with Swedish, French and Portuguesse.

    I hope you have a wonderful new year ahead of you.

    PS: I like to keep myself busy.

    Thank you for the warm welcoming. Right now I'm going through each language at the same step, so I will end up at the same place when I complete it. I'm not ready for advanced coding just yet because I do not have enough knowledge of the languages.

    As for the template, I only do images but rarely coding for it. HTML tables are my worst enemy.

    Yes, it's at College. In the UK teenagers go to College much earlier than USA teenagers (Your highschool is basically Secondary school and College rolled into one, and your College is basically our University).

    Well, it's a bit slow at first and quite a few ignorant people that come in blind but other than that it's pretty good fun. We had a trip to GameOn at the Science Museum and we might be going up to see Rockstar Leeds later on this year. The only really bad thing about it is that the programming lesson (twice a week) has no computers to use, which is totally pointless so I have to learn at home most of the time.

    It should speed up very soon with a new course leader coming next week. I'll tell the GR community about the games I create and other graphical side areas (Programming can also be an art form).
