Hey, welcome to Cheeky Factor!
<h1>Welcome to {{SITENAME}}</h1>


A strange name but I will come to that in a moment. First a quick introduction about me.
<div class="mp"><span style="text-align: center; display: block;">{{SITENAME}} is a place where I come to document how I do things and remind myself in the future.</span></div>


My name is Gary, I am a web developer mainly specialising in MediaWiki and Wordpress.

I am a firm believer in Open Source scripts. I rarely develop anything from scratch. I wrote my first ever programme for my sister at the age of 7 back in the 1980’s It was a Word Processor for the Commodore 64. She wanted to type an assignment for school, so I got the job of coding the programme and recording it onto tape. I have also worked extensively in the media industry as a board operator and producer.

Hence, a website about my two main interests. Media was what I always wanted to do, and programming was an interest which developed into a job that simply pays better than the Media Industry, but primarily web so I can remind myself how I do things

With the development side of life I use Google and ChatGPT a lot to remind myself how to do things.
__NOEDITSECTION__
 
As for the name Cheeky Factor – this all started when I worked as a board operator for a national broadcaster in the UK covering various sports. One of the reporters (who shall remain nameless) used to ask if I wanted a cheeky update so I started giving him Cheeky Factors. A Cheeky Factor of 1 would not be a very cheeky update, and Cheeky Factor of 10 would be a very cheeky update. Hence after joking about it one Saturday afternoon cheekyfactor.com was born.
 
Hmm, I don’t think there is anything else to add to this at the moment and if there is I will come back.
 
I hope you find the site useful!
