About me...
ash@gladio.net

My real name is Ashan, most people call me Ash. I'm an Abkhaz who grew up in Turkey and currently living in London. I went to many different schools in 3 different countries. The only school that I attended from beginning to graduation was Greenwich University which was the last phase of my educational life.

I've been using the GLaDio alias since the day I started using the internet. My career as a developer started with a simple homepage on freeservers which eventually evolved into this site. I used many programming and markup languages but I can't say I'm an expert on a specific language. Before I make a web page or a program I search for the most suitable way to do it and then decide what to use to do it. Obviusly when you work like this you get a bit of everything.

The languages I used so far are:

  • HTML
  • CSS
  • JavaScript
  • ActionScript
  • XML
  • ASP
  • ASP.net
  • PHP
  • Ajax
  • SQL
  • Java
  • C++
  • C#
  • Batch

     

The developer tools/IDEs I regularly use are

  • Notepad (the most important of all)
  • Visual Studio
  • Netbeans
  • Turbo c# Explorer
  • Dreamweaver
  • Photoshop
  • Flash

I use XP on desktop and Vista on laptop. Occasionally I use Slax(Live CD Linux), mostly when my system crashes. Three things I can't do without on a computer are:

  • Opera
  • Visual Studio
  • Winamp

I usually keep my computer turned on at all times. Sometimes I even leave it on when I go abroad. I get ideas for new projects from almost anything so when an idea pops into my mind I go straight to the computer. I have tonnes of developer stuff that I'm supposed to add to my blog but I get put off by the thought of how much stuff there is. I think you can figure out how lazy i can be from that. That's enough info for now.

PS: I'm a hardcore fan of Fenerbahce.
