Haha yeah, it's quite noticable! lol. Hawkee has helped me along a lot has to be said! .NET is brilliant if you're not a Windows-hater, too many people pass on it because they are so single minded. I use .net in class so it's great for practice. PHP skills i developed on my own because i was into webdesign at the time.

If you need any help drop me an email sometime, be happy to help :)
