A brief history

I got started working seriously with computers when I was about 6. I made my first website then (which I took down around 2005, because, well, let's just say it wasn't very representative of my skills anymore).
Not much later (one or two years, I think) I got started with JavaScript. Yeah, still websites, but now they were starting to look like something!
Again a few years later I wanted to do more. Just HTML and JavaScript weren't cutting it anymore, and I needed more power. That's when I learned PHP.
Within a few months after that, websites as a whole had become too restricting, and I started looking into more flexible alternatives.
This is when I learned Visual Basic, which was pretty easy compared to JavaScript and PHP, so didn't take very long to learn.
In 2007 I started my university education in Computer Science, and switched my main operating system to Mandriva Linux. This is when I also learned C++.
I absolutely love Linux, and plan to never use windows (note: no capital letter because lack of respect) again. See also the video on the end of this page.
I'm trying to focus on cross-platform programming, so my work can be enjoyed by windows, Linux and Mac users alike.
Though open source programmers have my respect for the good work they're doing, most of my work is closed-source at time of writing.

Knowledge of programming and markup languages:
Basic = I know the basics, but have to look up some things sometimes.
Solid = I know some advanced things and can work in it without looking up things.
Advanced = I dream in this sometimes.
