Seeing as this is my website, it seems reasonable to assume that users may wish to know something about me. Well, here's a picture for a start (and as I want to get high on Google rankings I'm going to link to it using the words "Purple Sheep"). This was taken in February 2004, so it's getting a bit out of date; ah well.
Anyway, my real name is David Weston and I'm 18. I was born in Cambridge, but live in Oxford; it's possible that I will end up going back to Cambridge as I might be doing a Maths/Computer Science degree there from October 2007. Or I may not. So who do I support in the boat race? No-one, actually. Cambridge all the way! (Non-Brits: don't worry about it.)
A few random facts about me: I'm fairly tall (almost 6'1" or 185cm), a Christian and a bit of a geek (perhaps that's an understatement). I enjoy programming, reading, going on rollercoasters when I get the chance, doing stuff on the Internet and playing the trumpet.
I'm also kind of obsessive about grammar, especially over the use of the apostrophe. Remember, "its" is a possessive pronoun: there's only an apostrophe when it's short for "it is". And don't you dare use it for plurals.
Everywhere on the Internet I am known as Purple Sheep, or Sheepie for short. Why should this be so? Well, the name first originated in the Autumn of 2001 when Shattered Vision started, then my brother's website. Back then the forum was pretty much entirely dedicated to roleplaying, and on signing up I needed a name that would be anonymous (just to see if people could guess I was Matthew's brother) as well as forming an interesting character.
Hence "Purple Sheep" in all its bizarrity. Originally he was Scottish and wore a kilt, though this is a physical impossibility. The famous image/avatar as you see it today came a bit later. Please note that I insist on spelling it with capitals on both words. The colour Purple can be defined as #800080 in hex; alternatively as 50% red, 0% green and 50% blue.
Due to the presence of certain creatures called "spam bots", it is not at all sensible to leave one's email address on a publicly-viewable webpage. However, what I will tell you is that it is my first name (lower case) at my domain name, which should make it easy enough to figure out. If it does not, talk to someone who knows more about Internet terminology than you.
