About me

 

Welcome to jimbase.com

My name is Jimi Ellis, Manchester UK.

jimi1 248x300 About me

Originally from North Wales U.K. My personality is quite bubbly and light hearted, I try not to take anything too seriously but have my quiet moments as we all do. I relish the good times in my ventures and regret the bad times, again as we all do.

I love to play guitar, paint with acrylics, write, take walks and basically use my inquisitive nature in reading everything I can about everything, whether I understand it or not (usually not).

Designing  jimbase.com Website has been a venture from start to where it is now where i have learned everything from a starting point of knowing absolutely nothing about Web design.

I decided to invest in this site because of my love of writing and all my articles are my original work. I have no particular niche’ with this site. I am not selling any product. It is purely an accumulation of my articles and fun things to do with a base of links to reputable websites that have been checked by myself  to fill in that bored moment you may have in your day.

I am the one and only Administrator, there is no “team” of people and all research is done by myself including the technical side of things, all with a battered Laptop and a G3 dongle without phone connection (i like to take my laptop wherever i go).

So!  Thanks for reading this profile, if you have got this far then thank you for visiting my Website. I would really appreciate any links you have i.e Facebook/Twitter etc and of course get in touch if i can do anything within my power to help on any subject and of course i look forward to any constructive ideas you may have. In the meantime, be well and don’t have too many bored moments.

See you soon,,,, Jimi.
