Hey guys, just thought that I’d mention to everyone that my sites are all now hosted on Amazon’s EC2.

Hi! Glad you dropped by.
I'm a 23 year old freelance web developer currently living in Aberdeen whilst studying BSc Computing Science.
The web is certainly my passion. I care about building and maintaining really good applications that actually mean something. Freelancing isn't just my profession, it's a way of life for me, and I love to write and talk about freelance, the rewards and horrors.
I mainly write about web development.
It's great to receive feedback and opinion, so please feel free to comment and join the discussion.
I use 'FreeAgent' to track-time, create invoices, view reports, and calculate my tax. It's the perfect tool for a freelacer.
If you're a UK based freelancer, give it a go. It really does free up more time to actually work rather than messing around with admin tasks.
