About

Ultimately better than you.

My name is Jem, I'm a 20-something leaning-towards-attachment-parenting mummy to baby Isabel; web developer; blogger; and PHP ninja. This is my blog, I use it for communicating wit and wisdom on my three favourite subjects: pets, parenting and PHP. When I'm not bashing away at a keyboard, I like to read Pratchett novels, play games on my various Nintendo consoles and take bad pictures of my pets. My partner Karl and I are based near Telford in the UK.

I have a strong sense of humour, a passion for all things geeky and a serious interwebs addiction. I used to like a good cup of coffee (milk, one sugar) but since having the tiddler, find myself drinking tea. I know, you're fascinated by these minute details. I'm an atheist, pro-choice, and very much politically liberal.

You can find me all over the web:

About 'jemjabella'

Jemjabella.co.uk — based cleverly on my Internet nickname "jemjabella" — is my blog. It has seen many faces over the years, from the "angsty" homepage of a frustrated teen to the network of a young professional. Despite having far too much to do since the birth of my little girl, I find my life a little empty without somewhere to rant about the world and its idiots, and have the archives to show for it!

The site is a hodge-podge of two retired home-grown blog systems and content imported from various WordPress installs from over the years. I am currently using Habari. I buy my hosting through Clook and domains are purchased through Namecheap.com, both of which I recommend for their value and service.

My thanks go to the following for helping me build my website:
