David Powers has been professionally involved with the electronic media
for some 30 years, mostly in radio and television--he was BBC Tokyo
correspondent in the late 1980s and early 1990s--but more recently with
the Internet. He built his first site in 1995, and was instantly hooked.
Eventually, the sheer tedium of updating content convinced him there
must be a better way. After a brief flirtation with ASP, he experimented
with PHP, and found himself hooked yet again.
