About johnny

I'm a French-born Scot living in Spain. Computers have interested me since I can remember and conveniently I'm now studying a computer science degree. This here is my BLOGOSPHERE OUTLET where I post solutions to problems I've had in the office or any other arbitrary project, hopefully for future reference AND TO BE PICKED UP BY THE BLOGOSPHERE. (not really I hate the 'blogosphere').
