Over on Ben’s Site he draws attention to the strange fact that calling the About me page a Colophon is considered cool among bloggers,

well back on track..

My name is Skippy, depending on who you ask. And this is my colophon and all. So, here is a brief history of my life:

I was born on the first of October 1983 in William Smilly hospital, Lanark. I met my Mum and Dad, and between them they chose to call me Philip Peter Andew McGaw, my Middle names come from the first names of both my grandads.

I grew up in Scotland, in a town called Carluke at the age of 7 moved to Swindon. I have one Sibling, a brother Called David who is about two years my younger,

I grew-up some, learned to read. Survived through Child hood, and my teen years, learnt how to use and abuse computers as I was banned on more than one ocasion from the using the The Commonweal School’s computers, This was because I soon learnt how easy it was to break/circumnavigate there security, which ushally left a computer compleatly open to edits?? (rename program manager in 3.11 anyone? progman.ini?)

As i have progresed in my education i have learnt more about computing, and electronics, and hope to mix the two subjects more often with my love of Lego

Other than that I Got into basic webdesign and playing more indepth with the odder features of the Win NT 5 range. however still know a few tricks from from windows 9x

After leaving from The Commonweal School in the class of Y2k, went on to New College where in the two years I was there I studyed Computing, Photography, Electronics, and Physics; after being there for two years i went to Swindon College to try and get some more qualifications, however due to the teaching staff being inept (put nicely) i didnt acheve much more than i started with. I am now currently at the university of Plymouth in [plymouth](http://multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?GridE=-4.13530&GridN=50.37100&client=public&lon=-4.13530&lat=50.37100&place=Plymouth,Plymouth&db=freegaz&local=&type=&start=&limit=&overviewmap=&scale=100000&search_result=Plymouth%2CPlymouth&lang=), reading for a BSc (hons) in Electrical and Electronic Systems Enginering.

I am going out with a lovely young lady by the name of [Ruth Rouse](http://loupie.co.uk), we have been together a over two years, and i love her to bits, and i know she feels the same way about me,

Now some of you may still be wondering about [Termisoc](http://termisoc.org), and I; well in my first year i was living in a Student house with two people, one i have known a good few years called Timothy Mortimer, and one random guy by the name of Sam, well I went to the Freashures Fayer with Sam, and he told me about Termisoc, Being that i am quite intrested in Computers i thought i should really join and see what it was alll about. In my second year i became a member of the exec team, filling the position of Saftey Office, now in my third year with [Termisoc](http://termisoc.org) I hold the position of Secretary.

As for me in a Religious Context, I was brought up in a Christian House hold, baptised at birth, sunday school as a child, and when I was about 14 I was on a youth Alpha course at Hannah’s Church, however it made me question my views, and how i felt the Davinity, while walking around on a sunny sports day with a friend by the name of Hayley Addis-Lee she sujested that i look into Wicca, after a lot more reading i discovered more about [Pagan religions](http://paganstudents.co.uk) at large,
