Martin is originally from the UK. In 2004 he moved to Houston, Texas with his wife and their two cats. His two greatest passions – outside of web development – are music and cult British science-fiction (if you're lucky, he'll even show you his Dalek).

Colophon

This site was designed in Adobe Photoshop. The structure was lovingly hand-coded using XHTML, CSS and – where appropriate – JavaScript, which has been used to enhance the user experience, or to give less able browsers a helping hand. Importantly, JavaScript is not required to use this site. The whole shebang is delivered to you piping-hot using the ever-so-spiffing ExpressionEngine content management system.

With the exception of the logo (which is set in Zapfino), the typography on the entire site is Georgia.

This incarnation of the site uses the excellent IE7 script by Dean Edwards to fix a few small rendering issues for users of Internet Explorer 6 and below. In accordance with standard web conventions, the content of this site is available to all visitors, no matter what their browsing environment may be.
