...or being honest, "how great is James Marriott" website!

This website will serve 4 purposes:

1. Self promotion

2. To host my blog and rant forums

3. To develop my business portfolio and website developer skills

Make no mistake, this website is mostly about Me, Me and Me. Bear with it though as in between bouts of inane whining I will be passing on all my worldly knowledge with hints, tips and advice on how to make life as easy as possible. Please browse my website, have a laugh and do join in any of the discussions.

I'm me. I'm also 'Zebedee', 'Florafumi'(?) and 'Mr_JMM'

According to my MySpace profile: I'm lovely, so I'm told. 30 something going on 12. Husband to Sandra. Spend most of my time developing websites and riding my bike - a Yamaha FZR1000 EXUP. Lover of tea, Ubuntu and beautiful people. If going out, prefer dinner and wine with friends who of course mean the world to me.

According to others: James Marriott is an opinionated, sarcastic, cantakerous old bastard that takes great pride in pissing the world off. A geek with a few nerdish qualities that seems to have a deep loathing of all things human, Micro$oft, vauxhall and drivers of a certain age and gender. Given the chance would convert everyone to Linux, MySpace and Twitter. But we do love him.

What's going on in the life of James Marriott?

14th February 2009 - Vroom, vroom, squeeeeaaaaal. I'm back in the driving seat, wooooooooh.

19th January 2009 - My new T-Mobile G1 (Google / Android) phone has just arrived. Blog coming asap!

12th January 2009 - Have been running Ubuntu as the sole OS now for about 6 months. Currently running version 8.10 Intrepid and loving it. I'll write another blog about it as soon as I can.

14th August 2008 - Got a 6 month driving ban under the "totting up" procedure. I would like to point out that it was only my second speeding offense! (...that will appear on my licence *ahem*)

19th April 2008 - "I" became "we" and we are now Mr & Mrs James Marriott after Sandra and I got married at Leez Priory. You can see photos on our new James and Sandra website.

Teddy has left the pram and I'm spitting dummies

Yes. I do have a blog on Google's Blogger, thus the logo but the following links (and the main one at the top) are to blogs and forums that I wrote. Nothing wrong with Wordpress etc. but I'm flaunting my web prowess.

If you see this logo anywhere on the site it indicates that there is a blog on that subject.

04/03/09 - My aim is to be writing at least one blog a day by the end of April but it really comes down to finsing the time and assuming I can get the other websites finished and in some sort of self managing program. One blog every two days at the moment is just about do-able. If I can kep this up then I'll start introducing an RSS feed to make it easier for people to keep up.

Some social interaction for you
