About
 I live in London, England and work as a web developer.

At Hyperlink-Interactive, now a subsidiary of Cable and Wireless I worked on:

Link Description
The Answerbank.co.uk Created the backend (Java/Oracle) code for the quizzes.
Country Life Property Search Development using C++/Oracle with Oracle Application Server (OAS) for IPC magazines.
Juniper XD An online document delivery site for ICC, a company that delivers information on companies to other companies.
taps.com A job site that I helped port using C++ from using an Illustra Database to an Oracle Database. Now part of Stepstone.co.uk (which itself has since run out of money).
Post Office Counters site The British post office counters company. Now using a Java backend, not the ASP I worked on.
Britannia music The mail order music company. The company has received two makeovers since I last worked on it (in C++ with Oracle).
Goldfish The credit card company, have since become a brochureware site.

Bluett.com started out being designed using hand-coded HTML, previewed in HoTMetaLPro.  I have since redesigned it using FrontPage, radically cutting back on the pretty colours and other wonders, and utilising CSS.

If you like creating websites, you might be interested in my other site, Paler.com - Price Comparison and UK Broadband Internet Access, that has pages on price comparison websites, UK unmetered ISPs, broadband (ADSL and cable modem) connections to the internet, e-commerce and registering domains. It includes links to useful information on creating and hosting websites.

I am also an Open Directory Project (a directory of more than 3 million sites, part of AOL/Time Warner) editor (my profile), I currently edit the UK Internet category.

I host Paler.com and Bluett.com on machines I part-own as a member of the hosting cooperative The Hatters.
