Welcome

A bit about me

I will assume you know my name. Online, I go by the moniker of Dipscom. If you've seen it in some old IRC channel or forum, it's likely that it was me.

I work as a freelance font-end developer based in the South East of England. I like to dabble with anything and everything in the front-end: Static HTML and CSS with beautiful typography; animated pages and SVGs; working with JavaScript; 3D and audio; publishing. Really, all of it. And then, some more.

The web is a great place. it should be accesible, semantic and we should use the right tool for the right job.

Besides this website, I have a Twitter account to keep abrest of what's going on and to chat with people, a CodePen account for small-scale experiments and a GitHub account for bigger experiments and work.

A bit about this website

I don't blog (although I keep telling myself I should write a little personal journal as to remember things I did when I grow old). I don't speak at conferences (although I have given talks at meetups a couple of times). I don't create tutorials (I should, if only to document things I will need to remember in the future). I'm not a designer. Nor I am too good with words. Almost all designs you see here were taken or, at the very least, inspired by someone else's work.

With such lack of creative powers I end up with nothing to show of my skills. To remediate that, I thought it would be neat if I just made a bunch of versions of my own site, much in the same vein as CSS Zen Garden with the twist that is to showcase all my different skills, not just CSS.

Links

In honour of the old tradition that existed when I started building webpages, here is a list (in no particular order) of links of my friends and people whose work I admire online.
