Web Developer, Daddy to Lily and Mia.
Born on May 14th 1984, as Matthew Edward James Juffs; I grew up in Windsor, South-East UK.
At the age of 18 I started my 3 year degree, Games Computing (Software Development) at the University of Lincoln. I graduated in September 2005 with a 2:1 Honours and decided to stay in Lincoln.
I am a Development Manager for Remarkable.net, specialising in ASP.NET C#, MSSQL, HTML5 and CSS3.
I enjoy many things such as socialising, music, gaming, films, the outdoors and I am also into hardware and technology and the web.
Slickhouse
Slickhouse was started in 2002 by a small group of friends at University and was originally named PUN, or Piss-Up-Nite. It documented a few piss ups that we enjoyed through our University years. In 2003 I purchased the domain slickhouse.com along with some hosting from UKHost4u.com. Since 2008, Slickhouse has been hosted from home via a 50MB Virgin Media connection.
The name slickhouse originates from the house that I lived in during University life (and still reside in today). The house itself was said to be slick by a friend and so the name slickhouse was born.
Over the past few years, slickhouse has gone through 6 major version changes - and has altered its focus a few times too. Now it is my blog, for me to keep a record of my digital thoughts and it also allows me to showcase a few of my projects.
SlickCMS
Slickhouse is powered by SlickCMS, a Content Management System I developed as a result of using WordPress for 5+ years. SlickCMS itself is built upon Microsoft Technologies - ASP, ASP.NET and SQL Server.
