The Site

P-2006? But it isn't 2006.

P-2006 is an upgrade to P-2004. Both are just names; nothing more, nothing less. In fact, P-2004 was developed in 2003 and continued in operation through most of 2005. P-2006 was then developed as a complete overhaul of the design and features of the site in late 2005.

What are the four sections?

Splitting the site into sections allows easy access to what you are after as well as providing scope for exploration by new visitors (and even old ones). The Fragments section is primarily a blog, and the most updated area of the site. It also contains several additional features including an event calendar and external links. The Artist section is the most aethestically (dis)pleasing portion of the site, focusing on photography (no pun intended), artwork and poetry. The Critic section is largely self-explanatory, featuring a collection film reviews. Finally the Questions page is this, whatever it may be.

What software do you use to make the site?

Priyan codes XHTML by hand in Notepad++ for maximum control. This incarnation of the site also uses WordPress technology to organise the entries in a MySQL database, managed using phpMyAdmin. The CSS, photography and graphic design is produced by Priyan. He recommends Macromedia Fireworks and Adobe Photoshop. He tests the site in Mozilla Firefox (his recommended browser), Internet Explorer and Opera.

Why the inconsistant use of first person singular and plural?

It's part artistic license, part schizophrenia. Generally "I" denotes a personal opinion or idea and "we" is used when referring to the P-2006 site as an entity. Meanwhile Priyan has chosen to answer the questions in this FAQ in the third person solely to confuse you.

How can I contact the site?

Send enquiries, suggestions, fanmail, etc. to . Please note that unlike many sites P-2006 policy is not to ignore spam. Instead we hire a significant number of former child stars to read and investigate every piece received. These details are then passed on to a Russian named Sergei. Sergei enjoys breaking people's fingers and who are we to stop him? After all, it's not like you can send emails with broken fingers.

Can I link to the site?

Of course. Please use the url http://www.meewella.com/ and feel free to use any of the link images provided below.
     

The Creator

So who is this Priyan?

Priyan is a third year law student at the University of Cambridge in the UK. He likes meat.

Wow, he must be clever.

This is an unsubstantiated myth. In fact he is just a very accomplished actor.

What else does he do there?

He is a member of the Downing College JCR committee, the online editor of the college magazine, The Griffin, and works on the Ball Committee. He is also Production Editor and a founding member of international affairs magazine The Cambridge Globalist.

Does he live in Cambridge?

He currently spends half his time studying in the beautiful surroundings of Cambridge, and the other half in the grim darkness of Croydon and its surrounding grey pastures in Surrey.

Does he have a job once he graduates?

He first needs to complete the one year Legal Practice Course which he will be taking with BPP in London. He has been hired by City firm Bird & Bird as a trainee for two years from September 2008. A full service law firm, they specialise in the technology and media business sectors.

What nationality is he?

British.

No, really. Where is he from originally?

London, England. His parents, on the other hand, were both born in Sri Lanka. They came to study in England and met at Imperial University. Since one is Tamil and the other Sinhalese, they only speak English at home and therefore Priyan speaks neither language fluently. As evidenced by his incurable cynicism, he is decidedly British.

I like his photography. what camera does he use? Does he sell any?

Priyan shoots with a Canon PowerShot G5, though he hopes someone will accidentally buy him a Canon EOS 400D. All Priyan's photos at morgueFile can be freely used for commercial, public or personal projects. All he asks is that you inform him if you do wish to use his work. If you would like to him to photograph a specific piece or an event, please contact him to discuss pricing.

I like his humorous writing style. Is he like that in real life?

He tries. Unfortunately his sharp tongue occassionally cuts the roof of his mouth causing him to bleed profusely rather than delivering an appropriately witty comeback.

Who are the main influences on his poetry and writing?

Byron, Neil Gaiman, Tim Burton, Terry Brooks, Anne Rice and Tom Holt. In terms of this blog it's probably Tycho Brahe and Brendon.

What's his poison?

While happy to drink beer by the pint (though he'd rather be drinking Leffe in a proper glass), Priyan's real love is whisky. His preference is Talisker 10 year, produced in the only distillery on the Isle of Skye, but he's also partial to Laphroaig, Dalwhinnie, and most decent single malts.

I heard he used to wear dresses, is that true?

Rumour has it that his mother used to test out her professional-looking sewing creations for similar sized relatives on him, regardless of the gender of the recipient. A corollary rumour holds that there is photographic evidence. No, you may not see. Furthermore, in primary school, being of slightly small stature, Priyan was often selected to play female roles. He eventually escaped this trend at secondary school as a member of Fagin's gang in Oliver! Fortunately his voice then broke, rendering him utterly useless for female parts, although he still retains a mean falsetto...

Where does all his hair go when he gels it?

A mystery that has puzzled many scientists, like where Odie the dog's tongue goes when he closes his mouth, his hair actually decreases substantially in volume the more gel he uses. Some have speculated that his specialist gel uses quantum warphole technology to achieve this effect. Actually it's Garnier Fructis. Ever the rebel, his hair consistently flagrantly touts several of the physical laws including gravity, since it does naturally grow vertically. Once gelled, Priyan's hair is the third hardest material known to man, following diamond and Margaret Thatcher.

If he uses Xbox Live, what is his ID? Can I see his GamerCard?

Sure, and feel free to add him to your friends list. Note the zero in the name.

Eww, l33t speak. Gross!

He thinks so too. Originally he set up the account PhoenixMDK using a free trial on the original Xbox Live system. When he bought an Xbox 360 his attempts to recover the account were in vain as he was using a new card and the confirmation emails he had been sent did not include all his original profile details for him to confirm his identity. Therefore he had to settle for the slightly less tasteful PH0ENIX MDK.
