The first faltering steps...

Blogs eh?

How Web 2.0...

Such an in-vogue way for teenagers, nerds and emos to rant & rave a
bout their make-up, computer stuff and how much they hate the world (not necessarily respectively). Well, I finally took the plunge and set up a Blogger account (which is obviously what you are reading now).

Firstly, just what does Hullabazoo mean? Personally, I have no idea! All I know is that I needed a stupid sounding name for a university project that included the word zoo and the name just stuck.

This isn't my first blog - that has the honour of being on LiveJournal, but nobody re
ad it . Admittedly, it was pretty rubbish, being just some way for me to tell everyone what I was having for tea that night (seriously, I took a picture of some Fish & Chips - you should have seen the response!).

I also have a MySpace account (which can, incidentally, be found here). I rarely bother with it either, but that's largely down to the amount of spam I kept getting from some nubile young Russian women (who may or may not have had male genitalia) offering me cyber-sex if I added them as a friend. How... lovely?

Anyway, who am I? Vital Statistics? A/S/L lol? My name is Andrew, I have an X and a Y chromosome and I'm from the fair county of Somerset, UK (ok, you caught me - I'm actually from Wales, but that's a long story
).

By day, I drive a Ford and work as an I.T. Technician for a growing mail-order-retail-company that distributes (amongst other things) the fad craze that are Crocs. By night, I divide my time between my partner Becki, decorating our new house (pictures forthcoming) and the 8th wonder of the wo
rld - teh intarclick.

Other endeavours include lots of computer gaming (PC gaming none-the-less, none of that console shash) & web-design (4 years worth of degree in it!). I'm a heavy believer in free (as in free beer) software and the wonderful Ubuntu has overtaken XP as the primary platform on my ageing Sony VAIO laptop (although 'ageing' doesn't describe half of it).

Anyway, that's enough meandering for the moment. I'll just post this and starting thinking up something REAL to put on here instead.

Till laterz!
