Welcome to my little place on the web.

I'm a software developer and occasionally when time allows, I like to blog about my various coding project here. I also like to tinker with home automation, retro gaming and more.

I have also shared some of my software, which I hope may be of use to others. It's on my software page.

100 Platforms awarded Amazon UK Developer Spotlight !

I'm pleased to announce that 100 Platforms has been selected as a winner of the Amazon Appstore UK Developer Spotlight. This means that there will be a featured banner on UK, USA and Germany Amazon App stores for this week, and will be featured in the Apps & Games section in April.

This is great news and will hopefully get the game some much needed publicity. So far I have seen a huge increase in downloads :)
