Matt Read, Weblog

Below is a list of the most frequently asked questions I get, and the answers I will give.

What?

If you want to post a comment on this site, I ask that you abide by these principles:

• be courteous
• add value
• give accurate information in the spirit of being helpful
• if you disagree with me or another commentator, disagree respectfully
• use the correct venue for your comment — keep your comments on-topic
• admit the possibility of fault and respect different points of views
• if you screw up, take responsibility for your actions

The key to the comments policy is respect for others. In your comments, treat everyone — including politicians and other commentators — as you would want to be treated. Anyone is free to disagree with me, or with other commentators, as long as it is done politely. In short, my comments policy is simple: play the ball and not the (wo)man.

I'm Matt Read, a 29 year old male from Ottawa, Canada. That's the capital of Canada for all you who don't know that already. I enjoy skateboarding, playing hockey and soccer, and working on my website.

My favourite TV show of all time is MacGyver, and Good Will Hunting is my favorite movie. I program in PHP, MySQL, Javascript, and Bash Scripting, and I love playing with Python. I'm a bit pedantic about producing semantic (X)HTML (and no, valid does not mean semantic).
