A bit about the old site…
The initial ideas for this website started coming together in mid April of 2006. Using only bare-bones HTML and badly constructed framesets, it consisted only of a marquee and 2 Harry Potter GIF animations (which a few people that will remain unknown to this day use as a PHPBB sig). Only since early August 2006 did things start to get serious…
The marquee I speak of was constructed from a table with red & blue boxes with an "SC" partition at either side. The blue and red boxes were supposed to symbolise a magnet, or rather, the two poles of a magnet - North and South. The way in which a magnet works means that two alike poles will repel each other while two opposite poles will attract (Paula Abdul anyone?). So why was it different here? I have no idea…
That said, the <marquee> has been phased out in favor of <h1> tags.
I started writing the HTML and doing the design (what design?) for the site as a result of a very long summer holiday and very little feeling of self confidence or personal achievement. I wanted somewhere to offload stuff - a place to share stuff with the world. This is it. Welcome. Welcome to my world.
</Sob Story>
The site will be reaching it’s 6th birthday this summer 2012 (WOO!), and I am no nearer my long term goal of world domination or meeting Lemmy and the Gallagher brothers since I started it. I initially thought that all I would have to do to be recognised as a world wide cool dude (or something along those lines) was write a bunch of HTML codes and copy them to my web server. Well yes, but there are some other things as well.
Creating this site has tought me a lot of things (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Google SEO, META, Doctypes, The W3C, browser support, IE compatibility and such like).
I use neither British or American English. I use "Stevie C English".
Who needs a silent "P"?
I wouldn’t say "coh-loor" so why spell it with a "u"?
I write the code for my site with Notepad++ and host it on a Microsoft .Net server.
My site is tested with the latest release of Mozilla Firefox.
A bit about Stevie C
What can I say about me?
What can’t I say about me?
My name is Stevie C. (At no point do I aim to undermine your intelligence)
I also go under the alias of DJ Stevie C - I produce my songs (tunes/choons) under my own Indie record label - "Unstable Atom Records" whose parent label is "Spector Records". I use Cubase & Garageband to produce my tunes. Samples of my work are available from my main website.
As well as composing music, I also enjoy mixing it. Music that is.
This involves taking recording sessions or audio stems and mixing them down into a stereo master (what you would hear on a CD). I’m always looking for new music to mix - so if you are in/represent a band and need some songs mixed, get in touch. What’s the worst that could happen?
My Past Self…
By day I was merely your mild mannered school-leaver-turned-college-student. By night I was a super-evil-genius-computer-programmer-turned-hacker-and-occasional-record-producer (just kidding).
Now, I have a direction to go (but no map).

Some Random Stuff…
I would say not to attempt to argue with a guy until you have walked a mile in his shoes. That way, if you lose the argument, you are a mile away from him and he can’t run after you because you have his shoes.
Oh, and try not to polish turds.
