Developed before I started my PhD to support in understanding research topics from no knowledge to eventually having something comprehensible on paper. Haven't updated it since 2021 but used it every week. The format projects are saved to will be supported in future releases. I will discuss this here.

Becoming financially literate to break out the loop, balance your portfolio and understand how much knowledge there is to gain from setting up a company. Basic discussion on my views on crypto and stocks included. Not investment advice, but points to support becoming financially literate.

I haven't really made games for profit and with Apple / Google policies changing as frequent as they are I can't rebuild every game to support their platform changes. So I have decided to make this my primary game release page where you can directly download my games to experience should they be taken down from other publishing platforms.

In the process of developing my interaction framework for visualizing multi dimensional data, this post will outline decentralization of the so called metaverse and how we can leverage new mediums into everyday navigation.

At its launch there were few VR games out there. Anything developed was quickly enjoyed by the smaller but passionate VR playerbase. So releasing a VR title in 2016 was unchartered territory. Pixel Arcade has been for sale since on Steam, Vive Port and has a partnership with Smilegate Stove; Tencents approach at VR arcades for the Korean markets. Enjoy the technical breakdown

Recent studies also raise questions about whether brain damage and death are permanent. If that doesn't make you curious..

Two simple C# projects that I wanted to make for myself. One allows for a diary entry for each day using some old windows forms code that allows for minimizing to icon tray, progressive and can be continually worked on while functionality is still supported. The Spotify grabber returns all the songs in a play list with their artist and album, great if you want to migrate away from Spotify and move onto another platform without losing playlists, or just to keep regular back ups of your beloved playlists.

Oculus have updated their privacy policy to align more with their parent company Facebook. I do say Meta data isn't meta if you are recording everything, the future of this space has many privacy implications. Update, this blog was written before the company changed to be Meta.

Watched a really cool video on an attack on a garage door by reverse engineering the radio transmission from the fob. I am now looking at taking real time photos from weather satellites.

Diving deeper into 3D printing. Decided to create a china step buckle for a bag that broke, during covid would have taken long to arrive. A new mountain bike mount, snowboard mount and also a 30 minute design to print challenge.

Sent down a hole of configuration to get my game server visible on the WAN. Discussing what Carrier Grade Nat (CGN) is and Restricted NAT types.

This website is hosted without a back end. Imagine developing numerous static HTML pages such as header, content and footer elements and then stitching them together to get the page you see now.
