About me
Personally
Where should I start? How much should I tell you? How much would you like to know?
Born October ‘7x as Jean-Jacques Halans in the region of Antwerp, BE. Oldest of one brother and two sisters. A happy youth, blabla.
Skateboarding, skiing, snowboarding, blabla. Playing guitar, blabla. Got into photography. <<fastforward>> Met this pretty girl in the summer of ‘93, fell in love. Got on the Internet in ‘95. Started making some money on it in ‘97. Blabla. Went to the US on holiday with the whole family in ‘98. Moved to Brugge in the beginning of ‘99. Survived Y2K.
Bought a PTCruiser in ‘01. Got married in ‘02 in Sydney.
Went to New Zealand on holiday in ‘03. Tumbled down under in ‘06.
Spend too much money on computer stuff (books, hardware, software, magazines,…),
gadgets (ipods, digicams, etc), DVD/home theater stuff, cd’s iTunes…
I like cooking, and eating, watching movies (cinema, or at home), surfing the net, graphic and web design, photography, traveling, snorkeling.
