Zippy-online, About

This website is basically a personal website made by me, and includes projects, a blog, gallery and useful links all provided by me. This is my first website which I have coded completely by hand not using dreamweaver or stealing other people templates, although I have had some help by certain individuals.

About Me

This needs an update really (25/08/08)... my facebook always appears to be up to date, so if you're interested pop over there....

I was born in 1988, so work out my age! Currently I am a student studying at a prestigious Grammar School in the South East of England. I am doing my A-levels and hope to move onto Loughborough Univeristy and do a degree in Civil Engineering. I'll be able to put 'MEng" after my name by the time I'm out of univeristy again! Click here to help me fund myself through university.

I am a law abiding citizen, and do not impersonate police, or seek to cause havoc. I have a full clean UK driving license, and have driven cars from mazda 323's, Ford Focus, VW Passat and recently been driving a Volvo V50; see my list of cars I have driven here. I enjoy my cycling, and currently own two quite valuable bicycles, one for the road and one for off-road/rain! I'm also in the process of converting a bicycle into a fixed track one for university.

Other things I enjoy include the great outdoors, I have completed my Bronze and Silver Duke of Edinburgh Award, and I have almost completed my gold award. I have done with this a fair few hikes, pictures of which you can see in my gallery, and a motorcycle tour with my father. The best investments so far have been a decent tent, and decent self-inflating rollmat. I'm also the type of guy who likes to take on projects. For A-level technology I have made a bicycle workstand, and this year I am making a bird feeder which looks like a space rocket. I am in the process of making a fixed gear track bike, and have made a water rocket. I also have some 'Polizei' gear made for my bicycle, but obviously lights and sounds can be moved onto a car easily enough.

Thanks to

I would now also like to take the opportunity to thank a few people who got me here, and have helped in life in general.

  • My Rents (Parents), without them I wouldn't be here!
  • Teachers - some of them have taught me stuff which is useful and interesting
  • My Friends - those that I've made, those that I've lost, and those I still talk to and see, have all made a difference
  • Ed - for letting me host this site for free, and helping with bugs and stuff I have yet to learn!
  • Headstart ppl - I had a great time, although only a few days the people around me made a huge difference, and it was good to have a taster of university
  • Individuals - I'm not gonna name names coz it might make them/you embarassed, so I'd just like to say thanks to those Individuals who actually make a difference

My Space Survey Type Thingy

Although I refuse to become a part of myspace as I know I would waste far too much time trying to make pretend friends (facebook is another matter and may come in handy for uni), I am going to do a myspace style survey thingy...just because. My Myspace profile: www.myspace.com/zippyonline
