My name is Nate, and I just so happen to be in my early twenties.
Twenty to be exact.
I call the Southeast of Australia my home.
Melbourne, Victoria for the geographically challenged - not by choice, but circumstance.
I have a beautiful twenty-two year-old girlfriend, Naomi.
Unfortunately, she lives two states away - in Brisbane, Queensland.
I'll be there soon.
I am what some may call a geek, with operative word being 'Geek' rather than 'Nerd'.
I believe there is a distinct difference between the two. While both may be considered knowledgeable, one may be considered a little more suave in a natural environment.
My interests lie in technology, computers, the internet, graphic design, web design.
I'm also quite fond of raving, and all that comes with it.
Except of course, for GHB.
I've been nicknamed "Happy Feet" because of my shuffling whenever any Electronica & Dance came on at the pub. Raving is my thing, I absolutely love it.
There was nothing better than Bass at The Palais, St Kilda!
I'm a graphic designer. Well, atleast I like to think I am.
I have no formal qualifications, and I don't actually have a job as a graphic designer.
But I love it none the less.
But I plan to go study at Shillington College, in Melbourne (or Brisbane).
To get myself an awesome qualification as a Graphic Designer.
In the mean time, I work in the family business, Critter Comfort Pet Products.
Doing all sorts of shit from production to management.
But once I become formally qualified, I'll find work at a Graphic Design firm.
And become an entrepreneur, and start my own little venture.
Never the less, I am, and always will be, a uGeeka.
Learning CSS Mar 10
For the last few years I've been getting into graphic design and web design.
I've created a few basic websites and such. Only is it now that I'm starting to really understand the importance of correct CSS. And starting to use it when coding sites/myspace layouts.

What it means to be Australian.. Mar 6
Being Australian is about driving in a German car to an Irish pub for a Belgian beer, then travelling home, grabbing an Indian curry or a Turkish kebab on the way, to sit on Swedish furniture and watch American shows on a Japanese TV.
Only in Australia... can a pizza ge...
Virb Style/Layout Feb 28
I'd love to know how to make a completely custom Virb layout.
Sure, I can design it just like I would a website, but I have absolutely no idea how to do all of the coding and so forth to make it compatible with virb.
