I think it was when I watched Call for Help on TechTV when I realised you can change things on Windows by modifying the Registry. After that I found that I wanted to change more and more things, but the registry would only take me so far.

After a while I got discontented with just changing values and wanted to create something of my own. Then came my first taste of Visual Basic then C, then Python, then HTML, CSS and JavaScript. I don't think anyone had a much fun as I did at 12 years old.
