                1984. First programming job: 19 years old, whilst studying electronics, I wrote and sold my first computer game (for the C64, in assembly language). My first game I wrote for a bet, but it never got sold (it was a copy of a commerical game on the Spectrum, but the Managing Director of the company didn't like hippies and wouldn't buy it - even though the rest of his team wanted to buy it). The guy I had the bet with never gave me the £10, but did buy me some beer. 1987. First non self-employed job: 23 years old, 18 games later, I had an electronics degree, didn't want to cut my hair, wear a suit, or stop wearing goth clothes, so I went to work for a computer games company. I didn't have a job interview - I'd already written code for them and it was "when you finish your degree, if you don't want an ordinary job, we'll hire you", so I joined them. I'm 36 now, I haven't cut my hair since May 1990, and although I like goth music, I don't dress exclusively in black or wear pointy boots. I no longer code exclusively in assembly, although if assembly is required, I am the guy that does it :-) Stephen Kellett -- Memory Validator.
