About

Overview

My name is James, and this is my self-hosted web profile (like a social media profile).

I enjoy creating things in my spare time, and having somewhere to post them (e.g., website, social media, file hosting account, etc) gives me the excuse to. Most of what I make is really nothing special (php scripts, tutorials, selfies, etc), but atleast some of it is opensource, in case anyone finds it useful.

Social Media

Over the years I've had a bunch of different social media accounts, including multiple YouTube channels. Some accounts I've deleted over time. Others I don't really use anymore, and would best be described as archived. To find my current/archived social media accounts click here. A list of deleted/archived accounts is below. If an account is closed, keep in mind that someone else may since have re-registered the same profile link, but they are NOT me. That's part of why I have this list.

History

I was born April 21, 1989 in British Columbia, Canada, and I've lived there most of my life, with the exception of a couple years during university, where I lived in Alberta. I've travelled a bit within the country, but mostly when I was younger. Travel's not really my thing. I've also visited the United States, which was cool.
