And we’re back!
Ahhh, yes… it feels good to be back up and running. thehokie.com has been offline for a while now, but I figured it was just about time to revive the beast.
I’ve been getting into many new things since I last posted on this site. I’ve started developing applications for the iPhone. I have been doing some freelance web work. Most recently, I’ve been working on a larger project, creating online shopping software for buying clubs.
Off of the computer, I’ve been spending a lot of time fermenting many things. My friend Jake and I have been homebrewing now for about a year. I’ve had several successful batches of sauerkraut and kimchi. Throw in some exploding mead, a few tasty sour pickles and about two quarts of pickled beets and there have been a lot of things bubbling in my apartment.
The one thing that unifies everything above is that, for the first time in my life, I’ve continually ran into a lack of resources on the web. If I Googled, “fermentation with whey”, I’d get a few sites, but nothing very specific. Changing the color of several elements in a view-based navigation style iPhone app? Again, nothing very useful.
Through stringing information from a few random websites, coupled with trial and error, I’ve figured out most of the things I was searching for. But then I realized I should probably be writing this stuff down, lest someone else is searching for the same things to no avail.
And there you have it. As the title indicates, I hope to make this website a resource for all things web development, programming and fermentation. We’ll see how it goes!
As a computer science nerd, I enjoy dabbling in all things related to web development and programming. Be it wrangling HTML/CSS across several browsers or harnessing the power of Objective-C while developing iPhone Apps, I enjoy a challenge.
