About Me

Welcome to my personal blog site, around these parts I write about gaming and the other things I do – sometimes I post about videos I’ve made, or do a little bit of creative writing (but it probably doesn’t scale very high on any ratings!).

Where do I start? I do love learning new things, especially when they’re related to computers or the industry in general; but the stuff I have a bit of interest in doesn’t stop there, I studied philosophy for my A levels – and since a young age I’ve always been exposed to medical or biology-like words and snippets… so you can perhaps get me curious on that front.

If there is one area of immense interest for me, that’d be the world wide web – it provides a platform for oh so much, sharing knowledge, beliefs and commencing and partaking in discussions. So perhaps you could say I’m a bit of a bookworm, or an e-bookworm these days.

Away from my fascination with obscure knowledge (which probably won’t win any pub quizzes), I spend my time gaming – which is what I often write most about online. I don’t play solo though, I know many a strange folk from across the globe and of varying ages and professions who I slaughter the forces of evil with regularly.

The Current Me

At the present time I’m studying for my degree in computing (I already have a HND), while attempting some web design on the side. While my computing degree and diploma aren’t very specific on their subjects (they have a very broad range), I’m interested in networking and servers, and system building (hardware) – with a couple of system builds/upgrades and maintenance under my belt.

On the scripting side, I currently have a decent knowledge of the following:

  • HTML and CSS
  • PHP (Pre-Hypertext Processing language)
  • JavaScript* and jQuery

 

* I should probably brush up on this language, alas time is often an issue with my studies and the other language and markup.

 

Whose that Geezer?

That geezer would be Matt, aka Tower, RavenIII or more recently TowerRaven. He makes websites, plays games and loves music.

This site is his blog, where sometimes he talks about himself in the third person. Welcome, you poor soul!
