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/C++.
I'm trying to keep my projects cross-platform, so my work can be enjoyed by windows, Linux and Mac users alike.
I write both open and closed source code, depending on the situation.

Knowledge of programming and markup (related) languages:
Basic = I know the basics and can work in this language efficiently.
Solid = Good knowledge, can optimize code, etc.
Advanced = I dream in this language sometimes.
