Well, where to start?
ABOUT DINKOMAN.COM
The site started on the 12th February 2006 under the name Dinkoworld.co.uk. Back then it specialised in Gaming news and reviews but I soon got bored of this as the priorities in my life shifted from Gaming. In early 2007 I changed the website to be more about me and the articles I were writing. The articles were mainly satire, comedy or political in some way or another and I still love writing these now.
I wrote over 100 articles in that year through to mid 2008. I also got a book deal out of it which should be out on the 2nd April 2010. On the 21st June 2008 I reintroduced the website using a Wordpress style. This allowed me to updated quickly anywhere in the world. I used this to upload about 5 posts a day; these were mainly the funniest videos that day. Towards the end of 2008 I wanted the site to change back to what it was before as I was beginning to open another website to deal with the Comedy and video aspect (ComedyOnline.tv).
In 2009 I still posted articles but at a limited pace and after I went on a long Summer Vacation touring the Spanish mountains I lost track of the internet world and stopped updating regularly. That was until November when I began updating often once again. This about brings us up to now where I have recently changed the site to a more motorcycle theme as this is the main concept of my life now.
ABOUT ME
I don’t want to give too much information away as 1.) I do not really feel that it is necessary 2.) I would much rather people make up their mind about me judging on the content of my site and videos rather than on a small paragraph I have written about myself.
I am a Test Reviewer for a large internet company and am also a freelance reviewer/writer in my own time. I have built various websites for over 5 years now and have been an active “member” of the internet for much longer.
I live in Sheffield although next year I will be moving to Scarborough to live by the sea… like an old man. I ride around with a bright red Mohican on in spring, summer autumn and also wear a tinted visor on my KBC helmet (you can see it at the top of every page). If you see me then by all means stop, wave or carry on your daily business. A bike is my only form of transport (I can drive a car but do not own one) and I ride pretty much every day whatever the weather; snow, fog, rain, frost, sun, cloud – you name it and I’ll ride in it. Motorcycling is a central part of my life and most things in some way or another relate to it.
ABOUT THE NAME
I coined the name Dinkoman about 5 years ago now, then some little kids copied me on YouTube and now there are roughly about 5 people who have the name. Funny, the unoriginal bastards eh? I chose the name while thinking of a user name to join the Official PSP forums. I was thinking about some form of animal – a dingo – and then added man to that giving me Dingoman. Which admittedly sounds strange so I changed it to Dinkoman. After that I used the name for everything including YouTube, Myspace, Twitter, Steam, Xfire and obviously a domain name. I do hold a copyright to the name as well as I thought that it might have been in my interest to do so about a year ago when I created my store which sells merchandise.
