About The Man
I'm Steve Tucker; a 23 year-old web developer living and working in Huddersfield, England.
As both a hobby and a career I regularly practice PHP, CSS, XHTML to web standards, Javascript and elegant DOM manipulation. I love my wife, my job, various music (Im particularly fond of U2) and a cold pint of Guinness.
I've been developing websites seriously since the summer of 2000 and have never received a day's training in my life - the latter of which I initially regretted but am now rather proud of. I work to W3C web standards, XHTML Strict whenever I can, and enjoy the satisfaction I get from the work I do immensely.
I also often trick myself into believing that I'm more talented than I actually am - a somewhat feeble attempt to dignify all the hours I've spent reading books. My day job is that of a web developer. I run the Huddersfield design firm EyePlot Digital with a mate called Jay Hands, who is also a member of GAWDs. Occasionally I write for .net magazine.
I love sports and creative passtimes - lately model ship building, boring as that may sound. My favourite colour is red, my favourite number is eight. My biggest risk of repetitive strain disorder is checking my email and my biggest gripe is finding little more than spam in my inbox.
Drink wise I love coffee (dacaff, of late) and my top dish is Indian curry. I'm not a cook but can make a mean Pot Noodle, and someday soon I plan to buy a dishwasher.
