Well welcome to my site and hope you enjoy your visit. I first started this web site when I returned from Thailand, where I had been living and deciding what too do with my life, and what direction to move forward in with computers.
I have always had a keen interest in Web design and general computers. Since the days of the ZX Spectrum where I first learnt sinclair basic.
I should of and I did not follow through my early ambitions, and went on to learning a trade in boat building. And became a boatyard woodworker.
Later on in Life after many hours spent in public library redeveloping my acquaintance with computers, I finally realized I still had a very keen interest in computer, so took the plunge and purchased my first ever PC.
I immediately took to the Internet and decided to learn new skill and develop my skills in web design. After working on a site for a friend in Thailand I realized that I could produce quality Internet sites.
This site started off as a project for learning but then realized I could turn the project into reality, so this is how it all come about.
All work carried out on the site is achieved by my self, and all services offered are taken on by myself. Hope you Enjoy your visit and please do not hesitate to ask me any question concerning your computer problems or just general advise.
And please come and visit us again...
