| Programming / Computer skills are mostly self-taught (I mean, I knew quite a bit before even considering Computer Engineering.
Guitar is 50/50. Played a few years before getting a teacher. Bass is all self-taught (then again, lol guitar). Same for Piano / Keyboards Some audio engineering stuff too. Lots of trial/error in there. |

| I taught myself everything I know about computers at this point.
I went through my dad's old Calculus book and taught myself how to do all sorts of things depicted in that monstrosity. I started reading when I was 11 months old without any help from my parents. I taught myself how to use Photoshop and Illustrator. Ummmm...that is all I can think of so far. |

| Now that I remember it, I also taught myself HTML back in the day as well. It was impressive then, and I actually did a demonstrative speech about it back in tenth grade.
But that was nearly a decade ago. ____________________ |

| I picked up PHP, HTML and CSS about nine years ago around the time when I started hanging out at Acmlm's Board and the Final Fantasy VII Citadel. I liked it enough that I studied Software Engineering at university. I've learned a lot about programming and software development at uni, so I can't really say everything I've learned in web development terms I learned on my own. However, I've never had any formal training in PHP, HTML or CSS - everything is self-taught or adapted from what I've learned in other languages while at university.
Drawing is something I do infrequently now, but I used to do more often. I've practiced over many years and I've since graduated to digital image manipulation packages like Photoshop, and I'm now using a Wacom tablet. It's still something I like to keep on a very small scale though, so I'm most happy using just an A5 tablet and the $50 Pixelmator app for the Mac. At the moment, I'm teaching myself sewing and dressmaking. I inherited a sewing machine from Chad's mum, who didn't need it any more. I've bought myself some fabric and some patterns for some cushions and I'm giving it a go. It's something I want to replace drawing more and more, to become one of my primary hobbies when I'm older and I've got more experience. I really want to be good enough to make my own clothes and costumes. |

I essentally acquired two things by myself:
* Computing * English Teaching yourself English, especially if it is not your first language, gives you a feel of the language much better than any teacher can tell you. ____________________ |
