Hey everyone! I am Mark Hamilton, I am coming here from Seek - Design, I do templates over there but I am going to cool off from working a lot there. I made one template, Tech Test there and made it in 5 colors. I do coding mainly, and I do graphics on the side. I complete my coding in ASP using: C#, VBSCRIPT, JavaScript, and XML. My most recent project was a members area / user verification. I was successful, and now I have the ability to create a members area for a web site at the simple customization of a MSAccess Database, and posting of a short bit of code. My most recent experiment was to build a AdRotator in XML. I did this by creating a XML file that was the backbone for the ad's, where the info on where the ads were, and then the alts for them (the text that appears when you mouse over) and then the links. In the actual HTML file, the bit of code I used was all constructed in C# allowing the server to do the running of the code, the code was developed for a fast page load, and a simple randomizing of the images. I can configure it for anyone who has windows hosting to display random affiliate links, change your splash page, sig or anything like that around. My most recent flash coding project was a co-op project that I did with a friend, and it was the multi track music player as seen on my site. My computer specs: CPU: AMD 64 3200+ MEMORY: 1 GB PC2700 DDR SDRAM HDD: 200 GB 7200 RPM Maxtor GRAPHICS: nVidia FX5700 256 MB 8x AGP INTERNET: Direct T1 LINE Summer so far... I completed a 900 mile bike trip from Portland, Oregon to San Fran, CA. I used my Bianchi Eros and my 4 bags provided by Cannondale. Conditioning for Football and Fall Baseball started. Programming started for Mark's World Version 10 (my site). Well, thats enough bout, me hows everyone?
I get out a lot, football practice each day, biking, and then weight lifting at Gym, and then I hang with my girl friend until like 9 or 10pm, and then after that I am up till like 4 AM since I never fall asleep early.
I'm 14, and I do about 200 squat (I don't have a max, never tried) I had to do 100+ for the training earlier this year, and then up to 200 now after the trip it was all to get more stamina in my legs for running, and biking. And FYI I am 130 pounds, 5'5". And there are pics from my pic trip online at: http://www.picturetrail.com/overland
Holy damn dude, you are my idol. Haha, seriously though I idol you, you have the perfect life. Keep it up, you'll go far.
No there are downfalls, like my Dad lives 3000 miles away in Redmond, WA, and he is the only person with full access over my web host, and he won't give me the damn password... the damn hosting rules say I can't have full acccess under 18! WTF kinda bull is that! I hate GoDaddy, thankfully my new host over at Fast-Host.com will be up and running with my site, damn DNS won't be changed for a while.
