About

Read about my Christmas Holiday in America. With JPEG photos and video in MPEG and RealVideo.

  Information should be flexible and accessible such as the kind we find in Today-type films and TV series'. This took me to seek out the programming languages to build computer programs.
Unfortunatly the education system couldn't tutor me in appropriate programming languages (object-orientated, cross-platform, non-scatty-syntax), so my enthusiasm for computer programming died. Although I had recently been introduced to the Internet. I took it on myself to learn the best efficient languages you could use to store and distribute accessible information: World Wide Web Scripting and Markup Languages.
This first entailed learning Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) then JavaScript and Cascade Stylesheets.
I have been fortunate despite, then low sight and now legally blind, and aspects of Aspergers Syndrome in being assisted by Employment Direct in getting a job as a Junior Web Author for a Web Design Company, Granite 5. After six months I was promoted to Web Developer, providing MySQL Database and PHP server-side functionality to websites. Currently I have developed Admin Areas, Forums, Events Diaries, shopping carts, and more.

Legend Scrolls is my personal website featuring information about standards for the World Wide Web, Photoart and information about Greek Gods, the Amazon Bard character, Gabrielle, and the actress who played her, Reneé O'Connor (now Reneé Muir) in the syndicated Xena: Warrior Princess. This site was launched 12th October 1998. It had various info about Gabby and Reneé plus Desktop Wallpaper that I designed myself.
In 1999 Legend Scrolls was destroyed around late August / early September.
  The website itself was rebuilt on more recent dynamic technologies such as PHP (PHP Hypertext Preprocessor). Desktop Wallpapers became Photoart and its data is now stored in a database.
Also Legend Scrolls is fully geared towards Web Standards built web browsers such as those from Core and Layout Level Web Content Object Model (WCOM) Web Browseers.

Since then, I have managed to find an object-orientated, cross-platform, non-scatty-syntax programming language that is quite well supported: Java.
After a month or two of self-tutoring the basics and then with specifics as and when I need of Java 2 Standard Edition I began developing test programs.
As there are no text/code editors that have all the features I want in a single application I decided to build my own: QuillPad.

Alongside my interest in Web Development I have an interest in Mythological and Ancient times of Greece, Egypt and China.
