About
Hey there! Thanks for visiting www.petrolmonkey.co.uk.
Before we get started I’d like to introduce myself, my name is Simon and I’m the owner, creator and tea boy of this blog.
I started messing around with computers back when Commodore, Sinclair and BBC Micro were the manufacturers of the moment. I can remember my first computer like it was yesterday, a Commodore 64 complete with tape deck and joystick. For me it has always been a tough call between coding and gaming but I’m pleased to report that I’ve spent many glorious hours doing both.
As a keen drawer and model maker it was inevitable that I would combine my love of technology with my passion to create and as such my journey as a web and graphic designer started some 7 years ago. I absolutely love designing and there are never enough hours in the day.
Ok. So what will you find here. Well, I’m going to be using this blog as a scrapbook to capture some of the best resources I find as I research my way around the Internet but I’ve made my blog public so hopefully anyone who happens to visit either on purpose or by good fortune will find some of the resources useful to.
Something I’ve wanted to do for a long time is post some video tutorials so at some point in the future I’ll be posting those here too.
Enjoy and have fun!
Simon
