About the Author

Kristjan Siimson was born in a rural place nearby to Estonian capital Tallinn, where he completed his first computer course in 1999 at the age of 11, which amongst other topics included an introduction to creating web sites. With this basic knowledge, he picked up more knowledge from the Internet and various books. In 2005, he moved to the States with his mother to see what the world looks like, and two years later he graduated Palm Springs High School. From there, his next step was to study Computer Science in College of the Desert. However, by mid-2009, in order to sustain himself in this foreign country, he decided to dedicate himself to web programming.

Old web sites

2002, "IMGkodu": Yet another old profile page of mine.
2002, "Paleekad": A web site for a graphical chat room I used to visit. Used some kind of a 3D program for the red background. For proof that it's actually done by me, you can go to "Profiilid" and choose my profile I made back then, called "IMG".
2002, "Downlinks 5": That's the site which got it all started. Me and my friend had a serious plan to make a web site, where we would put various cool games up for download. Abandonware and freeware were popular in Estonia then, legally it would have been dubious, but nothing serious. Unfortunately version 5 is the only one I have left, and I never finished it.
2002, "Suur Vanker": Homepage. Doesn't really have any content. I got very annoyed on forums after nobody liked any of the background music; then again I suppose I've always had weird music preference.

Then I started messing around with paid hosting, and so did my friends who asked me to make web sites. Since we haven't had any serious projects, everything I have done is lost. I can only find the domain names, I mention some of the remotely important ones. :(
