Picture of me when I was about 2 years old playing in the sink. See the big gob? You would certainly have heard it!
About 3 years old, or 2 years BC (before computer - my first one, that is). Had to make do with teddies and lego for entertainment - I'm an only child.
About 5 years old. I got my first computer (an Acorn
Electron - a 32K 8-bit machine based around the 6502 CPU as used in the
64K BBC Micro) around this time. Perhaps that's the reason for the big grin.
I distinctly remember faking stomach ache during a play that I went to with
mum, gran and grandad, so that I could get back to writing a timer program.
Sad, I know, but at the beginning of the first part I was tickled in my
front-row seat by some bloke dressed in a cat costume so I wasn't about
to hang around for the next part.
I'm about 14 years old here. Christmas dinner - yum!
Yeah, I graduated top of the class from Leicester
University in Computer Science in 2003. Boff.
I'm not one for pomp and show and so was not over-excited at paying over
£30 for the rental of the gown and board. Paying the £40 for
the graduation ball was a little easier to swallow, but only just.
Notice the black shirt - what a rebell!
Here's a faily recent photo of me, probably July 2003.
