As a relative newbie on the internet scene, jumping on the bandwagon in 1998, I don't have the background of many slashdotters. I can't offer a single piece of paper substantiating my knowledge of things IT or IP - I flunked my O-Level in Computer Studies back in 1984 despite having my own home computer - originally a ZX81(Timex Sinclair) and then an Atari 600XL.

For the last couple of years I have been dabbling in PHP to add to my HTML experience which dates back to within five weeks of my first modem.

Monday night though was different. I hacked. Not the sense of hacking that retrieves information otherwise unavailable, but in the sense of reverse engineering. I found out how to obtain McAfee's Site Advisor information. I plan on including it on a site I run. Watch this space for the PHP Class.
