DaFoot

DaFoot's homepage

Welcome all and sundry to my pointless corner of the Interweb.

Why 'DaFoot'?

Came about from using IRC too much during my undergrad degree at Aber uni.
For those not in the know, IRC is a protocol for chatting with people. We would use it to organise pub meetings mostly, no suprise really as we were mostly students in the particular chat room.

The name I used was Bigfoot, but there came a point when I couldn't get that name as someone else always seemed to be using it, after several mutations I ended up at 'DaFoot'.

I can be found on numerous social websites, usually using the DaFoot handle, including twitter (www.twitter.com/dafoot).

About this site

Of course if you don't know me you are welcome too! There may well be something of interest for you too here (perhaps). Try searching for articles (search box top right) ;) These pages contain info about stuff I am involved in at the moment from Judo to computer programming to spiders and scorpions!

I used to develop my site (dafoot.co.uk) coding in Eclipse and hand-cranking the PHP/MySQL. I still do on other sites I work on (eg Frozen Banana / Yorkshire & Humberside Judo Association), but this site was always intended to be my experimental site.

So now I have started experimenting with an off-the-shelf CMS.It'staking a bit of getting used to the way it works and not really pushed anything much but so far I'm quite liking it. Does what I need it to. Wonder if I'll feel the same after I try to implement some more advanced stuff.
