Many years ago I decided to become a website developer, and nine years later happily still at it. The only difference now is that I'm freelance. I'm based in South London and have a car and Oyster card, so can get to where you need me. What have I been doing recently? Solar Stormwatch diagrams for the National Maritime Museum, and the ITN Clip Editor using Adobe's Open Video Player framework.
