About me

My name is Finbarr Taylor and I am a computer science student in my 3rd year at Strathclyde University in Glasgow. I am working towards a 5 year mEng degree in Computer Science with Business and Law. I have been working with computers for years, with particular interests in the internet. Over the years I have become proficient with HTML and CSS; the tools of the trade in web design. My focus in building websites is standards compliance and best practice. You can find out more about the services I offer by clicking the services tab on the left - get them cheap before I graduate!

In terms of computing; I have experience of, and I am interested in, many areas. I will be carrying out research in summer 08 relating to predictive text on mobile phones, with a view to making texting easier by means of tactile feedback. I am a Linux user and my preferred distrobution is Ubuntu. Ubuntu Linux is an alternative, and far superior, operating system. I am involved in Domain speculation and brokering.
