About Me

Hi! I’m George Pearce (had you guessed?). I’m 16, and I live in the UK, in Wales. Fused is my personal blog, as well as where I house all the useful creations .. crap .. stuff that I make, be it scripts or whatnot. I’ve been blogging since 2006, but all the blogs I used to write failed, and got destroyed. I started GPearce (now Fused) in December 2007, on impulse. Then I just kept writing to it.

I sail a lot, in a boat called the Laser Vortex. It’s fast, and it’s amazing fun. There are some pictures on my Flickr, but they really don’t do it justice. I also play hockey, Dawn of War, and various other stuffs. I support open-source, and browse with Firefox. I really enjoy blogging, for some unknown reason, and write in two or three of my own at the moment.

I’m blogging from Windows Vista at the moment, on a Lenovo Thinkpad (definitely my reccomendation if you’re about to buy a Windows / ‘nix laptop). I also have a few Ubuntu powered laptops, as things to mess around and develop on. Next thing to try out is Mac.

I love listening to music, and thanks to some handy scrobbler (?), you can see what I listen to through my last.fm account. Nifty, eh?

My blog is hosted by MediaTemple, powered by Wordpress, Coca-Cola and Galaxy chocolate. It is written by me, (duh).

I do freelance consultancy work to earn the pennies that pay for my hosting and all the other stuff I have, and I occasionally design websites for local people and businesses. I consider myself very experienced with Wordpress, and can make it do more or less anything I want it to . See more about my work >>

I also tweet every now and again, and upload most of my photos to Flickr. At the moment, I’m stuck with an old Optio S40 camera, which isn’t amazing but it does work. I want to buy a SLR in the near future.

Also, since I moved to Fused.org.uk as a domain, I decided that nothing at all on this website (blog, sub-sites, whatever) would carry ads. Nothing at all. I hate ads, and only have them as a necessity. Now I’ve got work, and fused brings some in, I don’t need them, and as such, won’t show them. The exception to this rule is non-profit stuff, like the Blog Action Day banner the blog carries some of the time.
