About

I’m regua and this is my homepage. I’m not a professional, I’m not 18 years old yet, I don’t have the Zend certificate, I hardly know DOM, and I don’t show off the term ‘freelance webdesigner’.

Web is my passion, I love to design websites and write web applications. I’ve been interested in web design since I was 9 and - thanks to new technologies and web solutions - I just never get bored, even when spending three days in a row gaping at the gedit’s main window.

The site was started on 14 March 2006, although I had some other homepages before. It was firstly created just as a place for me to test my new designs and scripts, but a few months later I thought that a weblog would be a nice place to share some of my ideas and opinions. I used to write in Polish, but as I’ve been active on some English websites,

I just wanted to have kind of a business card in English, so the site’s language was changed. Now, not only can you read my thoughts and opinions here, but I also share some of my scripts and write tutorials and reviews.

Sorry, but I don’t really enjoy writing about myself, so the rest of information will be given to you as a list. Here you go:
