Personal Blog

Development, gaming, programming,

ideas, thoughts and more!

Currently I am looking for a programming job. I have noticed on TradeMe jobs there are hundreds of positions for senior developers as well as .net programmers. I have decided to go ahead and learn more .net as it may be very useful it the future. I have also downloaded Unity 5 now that it is free to touch up my knowledge on that.

I am going to add an old project I worked on last year for a weeks to my portfolio. The project was generating scrabble board layouts from a random word list. The idea came to me when I was at a friends place and saw their shower curtain was a giant sprawl of connect scrabble words. I added multi-threading, a scoring system (generates multiple boards, rates them using a fitness function and then picks the best) and a camera style system. Pretty basic, but it was fun to make!


Finally got this website up and running. Had some difficulties switching the DNS to the Wix nameserver. In the end I just made my website point to the Wix IP using the CName records. Just starting this blog, I really wish I had a place to post things earlier in my life. There are so many awesome projects I have worked on and a blog is such a good way to gather thoughts and stay on track etc.

Anyway this is my first post, I'm going to try to consistently post something interesting every few days, optimally something I am currently working on but if not, I will share something archived. Blog posts will contain anything from programming, game development and programming to abstract discussions or ideas.
