Andy Hawkes is a web technologist / multi-disciplinary geek who spends his working week in London at Cimex building websites and web applications.
Most of the stuff is built using the CodeIgniter MVC framework for PHP, MySQL, a healthy dose of semantic XHTML and CSS, and a smattering of jQuery to add some polish.
When he's not monkeying about on a computer Andy can be found riding his motorbike, brewing his own beer, shooting people with Airsoft guns, or just moaning about things like an old man.
This site pulls together stuff that Andy has written, linked to, posted about, or generally pontificated upon from a number of sources and presents it for your delight and delectation.
