I'm a web designer/developer in
Auckland, New Zealand.

Currently working at Web Widgets Ltd, I help customers with technical queries and do a whole bunch of website development on the side. When I'm not at work, I help my friends with technical queries and do a whole bunch of website development on the side. I'm one of those people who can stare at a screen full of code all day and not go crazy. I'm also one of those people who has a creative eye, and transferring design mockups to working, valid XHTML and CSS is a breeze.

My time is mostly focused on learning new jQuery, Javascript and PHP tricks; many of which I'll post here in my web development blog, including a jQuery Sortable tutorial, as well as a bit of code that uses Javascript instead of target="_blank".

You can view the websites I have made for businesses and individuals in New Zealand via my website examples.

If you are using a framework like Codeigniter, you'll need to populate a dropdown input as an array. When it's a dropdown full of countries, this can take a long time. Fortunately, I've done it for you!
