About Me - All you need to know!
Hello World!

My name is Ryan Jones, I am 17 years old and live in the rainy valleys of the Rhondda Cynon Taff. I enjoy programming, Computer Security testing and Chemistry but I also love science as a whole. I am a programmer, web designer and a hobbyist chemist. You'll probably find me in a science or maths section.

Likes & Dislikes
I am a firm supporter of Open Source and Web Standards, including:


 * Firefox
 * OpenOffice.org
 * Linux
 * PHP
 * GAIM

My reason for liking Open Source? I have a firm belief that all information should be available to anyone, seeing as you can't have access to the information and ideas behind closed-source programs it violates my personal code and so I refuse too use them.

My reason for liking web standards is that it easily allows the exchange of information across platforms and makes it easier in the long run for the information on the internet too be accessible too all people using all systems and browsers (No IE thanks).

...And my personal page:


 * Support Standards

I also like Pi, Phi and other irrational numbers - they facinate me.

Current Occupation
I am currently in school studying the A level sciences - I also work as a security tester when not in school and also work as a web designer at times.

I am currently a minor bug fixer working on the Mozilla codebase.
