About Me
Hey there, welcome to Camaban, personal site of Adrian Lee.
First and foremost, Camaban is a place for me to experiment with things and help keep myself up-to-date with how to code certain things. I thought I’d try this blogging thing a little while ago, and although I love the idea of it, I seem to be struggling to keep it going, so posts may or may not be infrequent!
There’s then a few articles and tutorials of things that I’d learn and thought others might be interested in too. The CSS Rollovers seem quite popular, though since I wrote that, so have several others, and it’s a lot harder to find in Google now, heh.
I’m a web design enthusiast, and part time professional living in Somerset England.
By day I work as the “Systems and Development Administrator” of Rickitt Educational Media Ltd, that basically means I’m the entire IT Department, responsible for the running of the network, and maintaining the web site.
By night, I’m often found ranting on about CSS, Semantic coding, Accessibility and other things at Cre8asite Forums where I’m a moderator, and occasionaly soaking up the knowledge of the folks who really know what they are talking about when it comes to accessibility at the Accessify Forums.
As you’ll see from some of my posts, I like to play cricket, and have been a long time member of Wellington Cricket Club, who’s website I also update (though don’t design!). I really enjoy cricket, and from about the end of April until mid-September, by weekends are taken up with little else.
I do have a tendancy to ramble on a bit, so I apologise for the general length of posts, heh, I really should take a leaf out of Peter’s book.
If you’re wondering what ‘camaban’ is, well, there is a bit of a story behind it, an actual, fictional story.
I’m a bit of a bookworm as well, and too often I’m awake till the early hours reading an exciting part of a book, all the while insisting I’m about to put it down. Around the time I was setting this site up originally, I was reading a book called Stonehenge by Bernard Cornwell. An excellent book, highly recommended. Anyway, in it, one of the core characters was called Camaban, he went a bit mad, well, ok, a lot mad, but also designed Stonehenge. I wanted to call my site something a bit different, something unique, I quite liked the name, and as someone pointed out later, he was a monument builder, I’m a web site builder, very similar, heh.
So, he was a mad, fictional, pre-historic monument builder, hence the tag line
