Background Information

Costello lives in the city of Oxford, UK (England), although he was born in France. He is a third-year student at Oxford Brookes University. He is a self-taught programmer. He started learning at the age of 14 when he was in High School, and as he grew older he began learning more languages: HTML, PHP, SQL, Javascript, CSS, and everything you need to design a dynamic website. His hobbies include coding, gaming, travelling, football (he played football since he was 7) and in general spend time with friends and family.

Costello discovered GBAtemp in mid-2002, when GBAtemp was still a small website. When the site turned into a forum in October 2002, Costello was the 255th member to register (255 = 0xFF = %1111 1111). He has been a member ever since and has moved up the ranks from moderator of the GBA Hardware and Utilities Forum, to Global Moderator, to Administrator in early 2005.
