A Short Description

Biography:
-=}{oT~dEv1L 666=- is a Video Gamer, PC Gamer and a Grand Theft Auto Fan. He was borned in 1993, when computers were gaining popularity with the general public. Being a self-taught webmaster, he has managed to master basic HTML and CSS and has a little bit of knowledge with PHP. He loves working with Adobe PhotoShop CS3 and is currently learning the ropes of Adobe After Effects CS3.

Since the beginning of 2007, he has experimented with web design by creating several websites, and The }{Q Network was formed. The }{Q Network consists of the }{Q Network Portal, Grand Theft Auto }{Q and -=}{oT~dEv1L 666=-’s HQ, but was abolished in early 2008 due to financial and time constrains.

Most importantly, he is a very avid Grand Theft Auto fan, a passion which is started almost a decade ago. Grand Theft Auto - in a nutshell - is a freeform crime action video game series debuted in 1998, the most well known being Vice City and San Andreas. The latest in the series is Grand Theft Auto IV, which has generated much hype in the media recently.

Footnote:
Well, perhaps other Singaporean bloggers love to disclose a lot about themselves, to the extend of cam whoring themselves. That’s unlike me, and I like to keep a low profile on my identity. Ask nicely, and I can be a friend. I live in Singapore (clean and green? hmm…) and I really love Grand Theft Auto and this website. Currently, I do not have a lifetime partner, and I’m still “looking for that special someone”. Interested? Contact me.

I strongly feel that too much of a disclosure on a blog is a sin, and as a result I don’t think I shall reveal anymore details about myself. Basically, this is about all I can disclose about myself currently, although I think you should introduce yourself as a blog reader.

Well, if you think -=}{oT~dEv1L 666=- is worthy of being added to your contact list or friends list, or you just want to have a hearty conversation about Grand Theft Auto with me, do not hesitate to do so! You can visit the contact page, and you can add this blog to any of the social networking sites too. The links to my profiles can be found above. Just make sure you introduce yourself properly!

About This Blog

What is -=}{oT~dEv1L 666=-’s HQ?

History:
-=}{oT~dEv1L 666=-’s HQ was started in mid-2005, and was migrated into the WordPress platform in February 2007. The first version of -=}{oT~dEv1L 666=-’s HQ was never really given a proper name. -=}{oT~dEv1L 666=-’s HQ was only borned in 2007, when I decided to have my own professional WordPress blog. That was when version 2.0 started. That decision was never regretted. Since then, -=}{oT~dEv1L 666=-’s HQ has grown bigger and bigger, and what you see today is the result of my hard work and passion for blogging (and gaming). This blog is now my official website.

When I made the decision to start a weblog of my own, I wanted it to be a professional and respected blog, something of my own creation - a blog to call ‘home’ where I could share content with other people. Well, I could never foresee a road of success ahead of me if I used Google’s Blogger. Hence, I’ve chosen WordPress as the blogging platform for my site; the driving force behind everything. It was difficult in the beginning, but things brightened up after six months of hard work.

Of course, there’s the frequency of posts. Ever since the first post, the blog has been updated at least once every three days, even when the blog is offline. From the very beginning, one of my very important rules in blogging is to type in perfect English, so that people from around the world can understand me.

As English is not my native tongue, it was rather difficult to do so at first. Over time, it developed into a habit and language was no longer a barrier restricting me from churning out quality posts. Also, many plugins have been installed to make the blog feature rich, as well as content rich, for the reader to enjoy.

In November 2007, I decided to embark on a journey that has totally changed this site. Version 3.0 marks a stepping stone to success and the transition to a Grand Theft Auto and a Computer and Video Games news blog. Actually it wasn’t much of a Gaming blog, but more of a Grand Theft Auto news blog. The site was revamped for this matter too.

Back in June 2007, the site was hosted at German free hosting site, Kilu. And before that, at ByetHost. Bad things happen every day to anybody, and the site was hacked in February 2008, when we were forced to move out and relocate to our current location (well, I’ll explain below).

Although I post other content as well besides Grand Theft Auto news, I would still like this site to be recognized as a Grand Theft Auto fansite. In February 2008, -=}{oT~dEv1L 666=-’s HQ moved into a new home (http://blog.gtahq.net), hosted by the Multiplayer Network. It could have been the best thing ever to happen to this blog, I swear.

In 2008, part of this blog’s authorship was given out to DLH, our part-time skit-writer and video games news poster. Interested applicants for part-time video games news posters can also contact us. This blog is currently a hub for both Grand Theft Auto news, as well as general Video Games and Information Technology news.

What’s So Interesting About this Site?
On the multimedia side, -=}{oT~dEv1L 666=-’s HQ has been offering a delicious platter of game screenshots in the Image Gallery, a handful of appealing songs in the Music Gallery and a bunch of eye-catching videos in the Video Gallery since we started out. These selected collection of multimedia are also frequently updated and new songs, images and videos are being added very frequently.

Besides multimedia content, there are also a load of jokes, head-turning posts and interesting skits that I will write now and then. We also offer cool downloadable content. All the cool stuff that I’ve come across that are small enough to fit on my blog (usually below 10 MB) will be there for you to download. You can always check the downloads section for interesting files, where new files will be added frequently.

Content-wise, we are also continously churning out news articles of video games, Information Technology and the Grand Theft Auto series as soon as they are available. We also provide an RSS feed, which allows you to be updated when a new post is published.

In a nutshell, -=}{oT~dEv1L 666=-’s HQ is all about things we all love - humour, cool stuff, catchy songs and eye-catching videos about video games, plus a clean and sleek layout and design topped with feature-rich plugins to spice up the already ubercool site. As a matter of fact, we are constantly changing on a daily basis, and you can always come back to us in the future for even more cool stuff!

Still not satisfied with this site? If you’re a seasoned blogger or web developer reading this, you might want to give some suggestions regarding -=}{oT~dEv1L 666=-’s HQ. Even if you’re only a ordinary guest viewing this site, do not hesitate to give me your suggestions and feedback. Cheers, and I hope you had a great time here!
