About this author:

Hey, I'm Vasili and I run duove.com. I love to code with PHP, MySQL, and jQuery, along with the basics like XHTML and CSS. At the moment, I just write (PHP) scripts for myself - like my CMS - but I hope that I can soon start freelancing for some people. Don't forget to follow me on Twitter for little tips and tricks I might tweet about. :)
