About
I am Jim, I’m 17 years old, and I’m currently taking my A-levels in school in South-East England. I’m of vaguely Irish heritage, although the accent seems to have faded out of my family a good few generations ago. However, I have still retained a love for alcohol, and a taste for Guinness which will not be shaken. I’m studying Computer Science, Further Mathematics, Physics and German for my A-levels, and I hope to continue with Computer Science into university, with the hope of studying a 4 year course leading me to a MEng at the end of it.
I am a stickler for good grammar and spelling, and I love the word ‘chap’.
The Site
I set this site up as a portal for my musings and creations, which might explain why my blog posts are so lengthy and long-winded. Most of my creations are in the form of photography or software - despite not being particularly talented in either field due to my lack of inspiration. However, it has been said that I have an eye for a photo, but I shake too much to take it properly.
‘Jimmed’ is essentially the past-participle of the verb ‘to Jim’, not Jim-med as some people seem to pronounce it. I chose it because I wanted a name to describe what the site was about, and because I watch far too much Teen Girl Squad to be healthy. Those of you who know what I’m talking about will say, “Surely then, you should have called it Jim’d!!, shouldn’t you?” To that, I say that I liked it better this way.
“Hold on a second”, I hear you say, “rape, ultra-violence and Beethoven?! That sounds incredibly dark and unpleasant.” The fact is I really like the film A Clockwork Orange, a film about the adventures of a man whose principle interesteds are rape, ultra-violence and Beethoven - my tagline has been written to aptly reflect this fact.
The website is powered by the magic of Wordpress, and the skin was designed by me using Macromedia Studio MX 2004, then later Studio 8.
Want more Jim?
I’m part of hundreds of online communities (most of which I’ve forgotten about), but my alias tends to be along the lines of ‘Jim’, ‘Jimt0′, ‘Jim0t0′, or ‘Jimmed’. So far as it goes, the most important (in my opinion) communities and projects that I’m part of are as follows:
- Nerdify - an upcoming development community, for which I am designing the front end and generally contributing my infinite wisdom
- Efex - a web design/development company for which I occasionally work
- Last.fm/Jimt0 - possibly one of the best ideas ever
- MySpace/Jimt0 - with a sexy, sexy profile
- Neopets/bluejay2k - ashamedly, I resurrected my old account from about 5 years ago, and decided to give it a go again
I’ll add more when I remember.
