Finally a hello from me! - UK Web Hosting | Dedicated Server Windows and Linux VPS Forum

**jc8654** · #1 (**permalink**) 21-05-2007, 14:20

Well, after being on here a few weeks, I should probably introduce myself properly!

I'm Jonathan, studying Physics at the University of Manchester.Website Hostings are a bit of a hobby (well, used to be) but now I'm branching out into setting up my own website hosting design business with one of my friends. Hopefully it will help pay for all those student nights out!

Although I've never really been taught properly about website hosting design and computers (well unless you count a GCSE in ICT) I always seem to be able to tinker and get things to work which means I now get tech support phone calls and emails from my friends all around the UK!

So yes, say hi and feel free to ask! I'll try to help!

Well, I was missing a little bit towards the end of the last week as I had two exams on Friday. I don't have one until the 30th now though so I can have a few days off.... I am meant to be in the library working but you know, the whole pull of the forum is just too much.

I applaud you for just being able to do it and pass!

So if I told you I got A's in Physics, Maths, Further Maths & Geography at A Level would you then think I was mad? I'm beginning to think so.... Lol. The scary thing is I really enjoy physics....... Makes me wonder if I'm sane sometimes!

I would say you are a very intelligent person.

I would expect you to be a CEO of some huge company on a few million year by your 30th birthday!!

Congrats on those results - they are really good. What college did you go to? (if you don't mind me asking?)

**jc8654** · #15 (**permalink**) 03-06-2007, 16:18

Well I'm from Newcastle but I went to a comprehensive school for GCSE's and 6th form so it's not one you'll have heard of I would think. And I can only dream of the few million a year now being the poor student I am! Lol.

You'll get it with grades like that and if you continue them into your degree. I am really impressed!!

Ah right, I know a couple of people from Newcastle but your probably right that I wouldn't know it even if you told me!!
