Will The Real Matt Please Stand Up...
If you've ever had the inclination to google me, I'd like to say that 99.99% of the results that match "matt gifford" are not me. The point is further confused because there are several other web developers with the exact same name—yes the world is a strange place, lol.
I would like to state for record that I am in fact not this guy, or this guy or even this guy, or any other Matt Gifford you might find.
I am in fact this guy:
(the pictured sites are my designs)
1996
comp.os.ms-windows.nt.admin.networking
—My first and only ever post on UseNet.
1997
www.chameleon-tours.com
—My first domain, named after the company from The Faceless Ones a 1967 episode of Dr Who. The domain never really had a fully complete site attached to it and always seemed to be a work in progress.
1998
www.houston.co.nz
—My job prior to the ill fated trip to the UK where I got Meningitis and ended up in the Intensive Care ward of a NHS hospital (yes, almost dying kinda sucks, lol). The design on the left was actually completed in 1997 and was my first commercial website project. The 1998 redesign shown on the right was completed with the skilled help of my friend and co-worker Mike Bowie.
1999
www.timeshifting.net
—My first actual website which featured lots of photos, music and miscellaneous stuff. Named after a term mentioned in a 1981 video about making home movies. The address is now no longer used, however I'm holding on to it for future use.
* I drew the Timeshifting logo pictured above ;-)
2000
www.lbc.co.nz
—My last ever job... and thank goodness for that, jobs are evil beasties, lol.
2001
www.gatecrasher.co.uk/connected/events/australia
—A post after an auckland club night.
2002
www.bubblefm.com
—My pirate radio station that ran for about a year until men in black from the government turned up at our door threatening to put us in prison... minor issue about not having paid $250,000 for a commercial radio license, lol.
lists.soekris.com
—Also about this time I was looking into the idea of starting an engine management system business.
2003
www.timeshifting.com
—Finally got the .com version of my domain and launched the first version of my company's website.

Ask Marjorie
Annoying, isn't it? The worst is that Matt Gifford who did some bad things in New Hampshire.
