About me

I grew with comics, arcade cabinets and music.

Then it came my first “computer”! I think I was 12 or 13 years old, and my parents gave me an Amstrad CPC 464 with a recorder and a colour monitor. Commodore was more impressive, but I just got that.
So I started to learn BASIC (well… that was not the “real” BASIC… sigh…)

and obviously to play to those pixelated games.

I got my first PC in the late 1995, not lucky enough to get Win95… so I got DOS 6.22 + Win 3.11 + OS/2 Warp 3. That PC was a new beginning.

For those years, it was a top level PC: a P75 with 16 MB RAM, 850 MB HDD, a S3 Trio32 1MB PCI Video Card and a fantastic SoundBlaster AWE 32 (just to compose something with MIDI and having in some way “realistic sounds”)!
I think my Dad hated me for spending all that money (yeah, PC were not cheap!!)

I became a Visual Basic developer (I tried Cobol and C, but no luck with them… shame on me!) and in the same year I started to learn HTML (when Dreamweaver was just a dream and the best was HotDog Pro)

I upgraded (and sometimes overclocked) my PC. I got a P200MMX with a 3D Blaster 4MB video card, Then I switched to AMD with my first 64bit CPU: an Athlon 3000+ with a Voodoo2 card (and a Geforce 2 later). Wow!
Then I discovered the 3D art, and I started to suffer too many hours during my renders… so here’s a Quad-Core with a Geforce 8600 GTS and  4 GB RAM.

I got 2 notebooks: the first 3 years ago… an Acer 17” Core 2 Duo that broke after the end of the warranty… (always lucky, uh?),  then I bought an HP Interl Core i5, too noisy and warm for my tastes. Notebooks are not for me…

In the meantime I worked 10 years as employee developing websites with ASP Classic, PHP and ASP.Net.

In the 2009 I started my own web Agency: Web4People.

In 2011 I needed something different.

Yeah, “different”: I switched to Mac!

So I bought a 2nd hand Mac Pro 1.1 + OSX 10.6.8 Snow Leopard and 7GB RAM. Now I can do gigantic renders with reasonable times, despite the smell that the power unit throws in the room… it “stinks different”!

The next step? When I’ll have enough money, maybe a new Mac Pro (maybe when Apple will release an updated Mac Pro… )… But only if I’ll have enough money and no troubles at all.

And hoping it will not stink too!!
