Aotea Travel Guide


So as promised for this year, I want to show what I've been working on during 2014.

First up, I don't just do programming for fun in my spare time (for fun?!). I occasionally write things too; I admit I'm not the best creative writer (I think that's a left-brain, right-brain thing), as I base most things I write about on real-life events or places. This project was no exception.

Over seven months (off-and-on, mind) and 12,000 words went into this one! I'm happy with the result I managed to come up with, and technically I can always come back to it later and add more things (more on that in a bit).

Update for 2015

Happy New Year!
How long has it been? Like, 22 months? Yikes. So much for keeping this blog alive...
But seriously though, I'm still alive myself... and this year, I'm as motivated as ever to collect my programming and otherwise creative experience into one place.
And that means both past and future project endeavours, both digital and physical. (Physical? Yes. That's something for later.)
I plan to also include projects that are still in the idea phase. It's no guarantee that I'd ever pick them back up again, but perhaps putting ideas into cyberspace might spark inspiration elsewhere.
