Though question :) I am perfectionist and this also carrys over to my work ethics - I fine-tune designs to every little detail, I make great customer relationships, I keep deadlines!
I made my first website in the year 2000. It was classic beginners web with loads of animated gif's and bright colored text. But as I got my first computer at the same year, I knew even less about computers. For long time I wrote all the html code by hand (Copy & Paste were unknown to me). But it was hell of a school and by the time I discovered the wonders of Copy & Paste I already mastered the language of html.
For several years I activly developed my skills and discovered the wonders of world wide web. In a few years time my web's beginned to look like regular sites. Unfortunately in year 2003 (if I'm not mistaken) I stopped active web development for few years.
From year 2005 I've been actively freealancing. I sold my first website also in the year 2005. Since then everything has gone uphill. I've been involved in about few hundred projects since.
