I like long walks on beaches, sunsets, candle-lit dinners... Haha. I'm 24 and currently call Perth in Western Australia home. After finishing highschool I spent a few years working crappy jobs, had heaps of fun and partied about enough for two lifetimes, then decided to go to uni and get a real career happening. I'm about to start my second year of Engineering and Computer Science, which is challenging but also great fun. I've been into programming since I was about 14, starting with QBasic (does anyone else remember that?) and then Visual Basic, then moving on to C and PHP. Most of my coding now is done in PHP for practical purposes, and I've done quite a lot of freelance work for various people since I was about 17; but it's always been more of a hobby that on occasion provides modest cash than a serious job, and I work on a lot of personal projects (many of which never end up coming to fruition!). I go camping quite a bit, and have a big circle of friends who are into their boating, spearfishing, beaching and four-wheel-driving - and are well-equipped to do so - so I'm lucky enough to get in on the action pretty regularly. AAAAAANNNNDDD that's about it. So g'day HelioNet and all other members!
