Welcome to the ECS Blog. My name is Warrick and I am the founder of Elephant Computer Solutions, based in Bridport, West Dorset. This is my first blog so please bear with me. Why did I start Elephant Computer Solutions? I’ve often wondered that myself. I guess it was bound to happen, it’s in my genes, my dad and his brothers are developers and I love programming too, it’s my passion and hobby. My dad started to teach me when I was 5, on GW Basic (remember that?), and would have carried on if he hadn’t passed away. If you were to be a fly on the wall in my house then most nights you would witness my lovely wife Lauren reading and me messing about on my laptop making websites and stuff.
ECS only came to life one winter, a very cold winter. At the time I was a window cleaner and with all the ice and snow about I couldn’t really work so I had to find another way to put food on the table. A lot has changed since I first started, I’ve leant PHP, and CSS and lots of other useful skills that excite me but bore to death everyone else I know, except my uncles. My poor wife has to put up with a lot being married me; I’m a bit obsessive about computers. Every now and again she makes me talk to one of my uncles to get it out of my system so I can be normal for a while.
