Hey,

Well, my name's Bob Burke. I am 14, and I live in Dublin, Republic of Ireland. I lived in London, England until I was 7, at which point I moved here to Dublin. My mom and dad seperated when I was 8, but I'm cool with that now.

I have been devloping on the web for almost 5 years now, I started with HTML and some basic graphics design, and have dabbled in Perl at various stages since then. Now my language of choice is PHP combined with MySQL, and I generally stick to the server side of things .. I don't do much designing anymore.

I am currently in the process of setting up my own network of sites, the network is called Pixel26 (

) and will feature sites based on entertainment, movies, music .. basically it will be a place for anyone young - or young at heart.

When I amn't in front of a computer screen, I enjoy comedy movies aswell as stand up comedians. I also listen to a wide range of music, mostly Punk though. I watch TV a lot, and I generally watch comedy shows / sitcoms (can you see a pattern?). I also play various sposrts .. soccer, football, rugby and I swim weekly.

Well, that's me .. I have work to do, so I decided to procrastinate and write a lot of stuff in here that I doubt you need / want to know, sorry.

Anyways, see you guys around!

Yes you did. I remember that as well. Something in the PHP&MySQL forum, if I recall correctly about subtracting a certain number from a given time. You taught me to use the explode(); function. Right?

iTec · Nov 29, 2001, 12:32

well i wont welcome you, because your allready made youself at home.... so

no welcome for you

what punk bands you like???

Bob · Nov 29, 2001, 13:12

Ian: I don't mind, Bob or Pixel is fine with me. My favourite comedians are Billy Connolly, Brendan O' Carrroll, Brendan Grace, Ricky Tomlinson, Harry Enfield, Tom Green and some more. Jackass and the Tom Green Show are my favourite funny shows, though I doubt they could be classified as true comedy.

Mark: Ah yes, now I remember.

iTec: Felix*TX, Good Charlotte, Stabbing Westward and loads more. Sum 41 kick incredibly large amounts of squirrels *** aswell.

Anyways, thanks for all the welcomes guys!!

Renegade · Nov 29, 2001, 18:26

Anyway.. woah, you started web develpment pretty young!!!... whats that, like 9 years old or something? I started when I was 12... lol... only cos I never had a computer until then.

But (a beleated) welcome to you since you've already been here a while.

Bob · Nov 30, 2001, 15:24

Renegade: I count 'em as punk, I don't know if 'proper' punk fans would though.

platinum: Yeah, I started real young. It was pretty much a choice between a Playstation or PC, and my mom eventually convinced me to get a PC. Best decison my mom ever made for me.
