About Me and This Site
My old man used to tell me that money isn't that hard to come by if you have determination. Well my dad never worked in the bloody web design industry!
My name is Steve Tucker. I'm a frustrated 2223 year-old based in Huddersfield, UK with a desire to achieve great things but a destiny for society's gutter. My bank balance continues to spiral downwards and no amount of work can seem to reverse that. I am one of the mountaineers of Britain's 21st century society; I work like a dog, pay too much of my meagre salary in tax to the government and will end up having to work till I'm 85 before receiving my allotted rather pathetic, going on insulting state pension. Bar these drawbacks I love my job, my wife, my music and a cold pint of Guinness.
I design and develop for the World Wide Web and actively practice PHP, CSS, XHTML to web standards, AJAX and DOM.
I've been developing websites 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 spend reading books. My day job is that of a web developer. I run the Huddersfield design company EyePlot Digital with a mate called Jay Hands, who is also a member of GAWDs.
My favourite colour is blue, my favourite hobby is anything creative. My biggest risk of repetitive strain disorder is checking my email and my biggest gripe is seeing the sparse, empty space in my inbox where once was proof of popularity. Hell, id even settle for spam now-a-days. Drink wise I love coffee (perhaps a little too fondly) and my top food is curry; that said I look healthy enough. In reality i'd surely be a fat bastard if it wasn't for my mum, who's built like a twiglet.
