About Me

“To be born Welsh
Is to be born privileged
Not with a silver spoon in your mouth
But with Music in your heart
And passion in your soul”

I’m Nathan Collins, or Nate for short, I’m 25 and I live in Cardiff, the capital city of Wales, in the United Kingdom. In this blog you will most likely read about many different things, not least technology, entertainment & personal musings. I have also established myself something of a small-time restaurant critic, reviewing some of Cardiff’s newest openings.
I am soon to become a first time dad and the realities, worries and euphoria that comes with this are also topics for posts.

I work as a web application designer and programmer using the .NET framework from Microsoft. I create feature rich database driven websites including online stores, admin areas, member sections, user reviews and reporting services. My skills include C#, ASP.NET, HTML, Javascript, MVC, AJAX and SQL (that’s a lot of abbreviations!).
Windows Server is also a forté of mine, having set up servers, clusters and even farms in my time!
I also dabble in PHP, Ruby on Rails and love learning new things. I have also done SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) and online marketing for various start-up and established websites to much success.
I am available for contract work, email me for details.

I have been writing online since 1997, though this blog was created in February 2002. The incarnation you are seeing now is very different from how it originally started out, when it was primarily record of significant life-events. Now I like to think of hintofsarcasm as my outlet for social commentary, somewhere that I can pen my theories and thoughts on the state of our planet. I am infatuated with The Smiths & Morrissey.

A prolific tweeter, you can find me as @cardiffblogger on Twitter.
