All About Spencer
Spenny, Spen, Spence… who’s Spencer?
I’ve changed a lot since I started this web site. I’ve just moved into my fourth place (this time a semi-detached 3 bedroom house in suburbia, Worthing) which I’m now sharing with my amazing fiancée Mia, managed to land an awesome job as a web designer at Fresh Egg, and I’m driving this sexy piece of machinery.
I really enjoyed my brief stint in the music industry (as Phobea) and on the telly (Chancers), but if nothing else I learnt that it wasn’t really for me. Don’t get me wrong I love being the centre of attention, but I vehemently refuse to change who I am, and I couldn’t really handle all of the negativity that came along with it. More about Spencer…
About this site
Affreux, Vex, Ego, Android, Halfcore…
It all started in the late 90s with the blooming camgirl scene. Back then it was all teenage American girls wearing skimpy outfits prancing around on web cams and writing about their day’s shopping. Being that there was a distinct lack of chaps (and obviously to woo said camgirls), I decided to start my own site. Back then they weren’t even called blogs, and I still believe that I was one of the very first guys to get even a little popular. In its heyday the site pulled in over 1000 unique visitors a day. Pale in comparison to today’s typical statistics, but back then it was a pretty big deal, to me at least.
But it wasn’t all about the birds. I quite liked designing too, and this particular scene had a rather competitive edge when it came to design. It wasn’t uncommon for camgirls and guys to redesign their entire web site on a monthly basis. It was just the fuel I needed to launch a prospective career in design and it has seemingly done the trick.
For nostalgia’s sake I’ve set up a page detailing the full history of this site and I’m even in the process of painstakingly re-coding my entire backlog of site designs (about 20 in all!) to work with the current content and show you guys just how much that this site has progressed.
