My Name is Stuart, I’m from Coventry, but am currently living, studying and working in Liverpool. I am doing a degree in Japanese and International Business. I like to think my website is superb but overlooked, and that is what I’m working on at the minute, the joy of content migration from my old blog system. nice.

I come here because it’s an interesting read, when I met you briefly I thought you were an interesting guy. Can’t forget you look like David Walliams :D Oh and of course, it’s always nice to see a fellow Brit with similiar passions.

Well, I’m another Simon and another Nottingham inhabitant. This is coincidence. I’m listening to the Stereolab album Dots and Loops whilst shredding receipts and old invoices this morning. It’s raining. But I like it.

Your blog rocks!

18/01 at 12:11 from Ariel Burone

And yet another Simon from the UK who spends most of his time infront of a computer calls in! (How many can there be??)

My day job keeps me entertaining a government intranet with occasional graphical work required on the website. I’m also setting up a sideline company to work on other websites and make a little more cash.

Hi, my name is Ilya. I’m a Finnish-American computer science student currently living and working in Helsinki. I came across your blog via Jonathan Snook’s underline challenge, and stayed because of the nice design and writing.

Hi, I’m Rob from Wolverhampton.

Been lurking around here for a year or so. I’m currently working in the marketing team for a finance company, looking to make some extra money on the side from the web.

Gareth from up in Newcastle (by way of Bradford). Another web designer type with a website viewed by both of the people I met at @media last year (and no one else).

Must say, I like the mini gravatars. Very cute.

18/01 at 13:34 from Gareth

Hi there Long time lurker here. Neat idea for a thread. So… me? I spend most of my time developing for other people (hence my undeveloped site). I work for a pretty large newspaper and spend my days trying to un-wysiwyg the work of my peers

Someday I’ll work on one of the many projects I’ll queued up for myself but in the meantime I gotta pay the bills and lurk on the blogs that inspire me.

So, that’s me. I live in Lowell, MA and cook for 4 though I live alone.

18/01 at 13:44 from Chris Wible

Hi my name is Richard and I’m from Brighton. My ‘Star Site’ website is Clagnut and my company is Clearleft.  But then you knew that already, so perhaps it’s best if you keep me out of the draw, especially as I’m co-writing one of your books anyway.

18/01 at 13:52 from Richard Rutter

Another person in Nottingham (Do we have enough to start a group?).

I’ve just started working with a university/NHS project as their web services co-ordinator, so I’m spending a lot of time clearing out tables and font tags.

I’m not particularly interesting, but I make excellent drinks.

Hello sir, another Nottingham dwelling fella here. Been plugging away as a web/graphic designer for the past 6-ish years. Been lurking around on this site for a while now, always an interesting read. This morning I have been designing stuff, and shall continue apace well into the afternoon. Same as yesterday really. Yes. Anyhow, top-flight-blogging-actionŸ, keep it up!

My name is Ryan and I’m from the United States. I graduated from Purdue University and work for Creative Arc — although I might better be recognized as one of the founding partners of MacZealots.

Our business is mainly a web design/development firm, and we embrace web standards in all of our projects. We’re especially adept at setting up and configuring Movable Type as a content management system, allowing our clients to publish their entire site thru their web browser.

I currently enjoy ”the life” and work from home, although or office is based out of in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Hi, Marilyn from Silver Spring, MD near Washington DC, USA. I’m a graphic and web designer, have lived and worked in San Francisco, Geneva, Switzerland and now the DC area. I’ve been reading you for a long while, at least since Veerle mentioned you in relation to EE. I’ve been looking for a standards-based cms and/or back-end developers to work with in a team setting. I’m checking out the new version of EE now.

Lately I’ve been working on Textorizing photos and images. I love the effect of drawing with type, being a typophile from way back. Textorized images are created in .svg, using a routine developed by maxf.  There’s also a Flickr textorized group, if you’re interested.

Thanks for the opportunity to introduce myself.

I am Jeremy. I live and work in Birmingham, Alabama, USA. I graduated from Mississippi State University with a double emphasis in Graphic Design and Photography. I have worked for Kinetic Communications for 5+ years. I am the Senior Designer here, amongst many, many other things.

I have been reading CollyLogic for a few years now. I used to be listed under International Logic in the sidebar, but dropped off. I guess that is what happens when you only post once every other month or something.

Hi, my name’s Ian and I’m an alcoholic ... oh wait, wrong forum! Damn!

Seriously though, I’m from Swindon [UK] and I like books. I don’t read the buggers, mind, I just seem to collect them, line ‘em up on a shelf and hope that somehow the knowledge contained within will eventually get to me through some kind of osmosis.

Hello, Simon. I work for the U.S. Navy designing internet and intranet web sites and web applications out in California’s Mojave Desert. (Always wanted to live by the ocean, always end up in a desert.) I finally got into web design after years of being in air warfare analysis, running off to study graphic design, and then spending some time in software development. I find web work provides a nice balance for graphic design, development, and analysis.  I also enjoy the fact that the work is quite dynamic with there always being something new to learn and your site is one of a number that I follow regularly to help me do this. (Thanks for the time and effort that you put into it!)

Hi, my name is greg, and I’m an alcoholic.
waiting for it...
“Hi Greg!”
Okay, now we can proceed. I’m a graphic designer based in Salt Lake City, Utah. I work for a software reseller in Park City, which, if your memory will stretch back four years, is where most of those winter olypic thingers were held. It’s cold, dreary and snowing. Someone, please, take me away from here… preferably to some balmy clime.
Current project is a graphic freshening of a website for a side business the owner, uh, owns.

And I ain’t no lurker. How dare you think that!? I’m going to go cry…

18/01 at 17:36 from Daniel Nicolas

I wouldn’t say I’m a lurker, I just don’t comment regularly. Right now, none of my sites are quite up to the “superb” standard I usually hold myself to, but that’s because I’ve been spreading myself rather thin trying to get Refresh Los Angeles started.

Hello, it’s Mr Sharpe.

I too live in Nottingham, and have worked with Colly on a few projects.

I have to say that I thought Colly smoked a lot, as nearly every photo I’ve see of him, he seems to have a ciggy in his mouth or at least rolling one - But, I can confirm that I actually smoke more!

Although he does drink more tea than me… Slurp.

Hello Simon,

My name is Brian and I live in British Columbia, Canada. I’ve been a lurker at your site ever since I ran across your tutorial for creating those cool checked links that adorn the right column of your site, several months ago.

Currently I work part-time at the local Tim Horton’s (named after a Canadian hockey player), but I spend the rest of my time filling my head with the ins and outs of designing standards based websites using XHTML/CSS. My goal is to develop my skills to the point of being able to make a living doing freelance work.

Hello Colly

I think I’ve commented sometimes before.

Anyways, I’m from south of Sweden, from Malm‡. I go to school during the days, but I like web design, too. It’s a nice complement because of the creativeness mixed with the need for skill and talent for coding and problem-solving mixed with the fact that you can get nice money from this.

I do think that my site is too poorly visited, but on the other hand - it’s not complete and I’ve got a lot of work to do before it is.

So why don’t you give me this book of yours .

Best wishes
Henke

19/01 at 22:00 from Henrik

i read you from Tijuana, Mexico, i work as a web site developer, not quite as proficient as you of course, but one can dream of eventually getting there
my site is definitely overlooked and not really superb jeje, but hey i’ve learned a lot from it..

it started life as an all flash site and now it lives as html/css thing..

Saludos..!!!

Bula!
Am just another web developer from far away island, Fiji.
Collylogic is one of the best reference and informative site I’ve come across. I roll you over at rojo and been a regular reader since.
My site is no superb, but drop a link here anyway.

20/01 at 05:18 from mayvelous

Hi Colly,

I prefer the word ‘listener’ - lurking seems such a negative expression, rather like ‘skulking’. We are all out here hanging on your every word, or at least hoping for something enlightening to help us to do our jobs that little bit better.

I come from an IT background but am more and more drawn to the fun of web design: pictures/design/programming all in one package - it’s got to be a great career. I’m hoping this year to do more and better web sites.

My web sites are, erm, overlooked:

Personal
Business

BTW, I love the country flags:)

why is it that I always have this tune in my head when I come here:

I’ve been visiting for over a year now. I’m a UK based php & .net web developer and designer working in house for a manufacturing company putting together an intranet solution. I live and work near Durham and don’t run a blog! Found your site via Richard Rutters Clagnut I think.

I’m also a musician and planning a three album punk concept work based on generating web standards compliant markup from .NET code (No ... I’m not!).

Great Site. New design looks cool.

All the best

I’m only dropping this here because 171 comments without one Irishman seems a bit weird.

I’d tell you what I did for a living but I figure by the 172nd comment you might have lost interest in what programming languages I might be into.

I’m a soon-to-be-freelance Web designer, based in Birmingham, UK. Kept meaning to introduce myself at last year’s @media, but never got round to it. Maybe it’ll happen this year!

I’ve just completed a big online survey for my present employer. It’s in 25 European languages! It’s been a real challenge getting languages like Bulgarian and Greek to display properly, but it’s all worked out. There’s an Icelandic version too. I know you’re a fan.

Hey everyone,

I’m a web designer and I currently work for the NHS (National Health Service) in the UK. I’ve worked there for almost 5 years since leaving University.

My attentions have been focused on developing 2 corporate intranets using ASP.NET and MS SQL.

I’m also learning PHP and MySQL and starting to do some freelance work.

Say hello, tell me what you do, where you are from, what you are working on, or why you come here.

Hello there (:

I’m from Holland, and at the moment I’m working on my thesis for a webdevelopment course (communication and multimedia design) since mondey. Before that I worked for a webdevelopment company for a year and a half.

I lurk here semi occasionally, partly for inspiration (no stealing) for my own blog, and partially because I feel the need to read what else is going on in the world of webdevelopment. Which is LOTS!

Can’t do everything yourself so I’d better so what others are doing as well.
