Matt Down Under

Ruby developer, founder of choc media, bushwalker, MacGyver fan and hobby photographer, German citizen and Australian Permanent Resident.

In 2008 I moved from Germany to Australia, the best decision of my life. On this blog you can find stories and photos about hiking in Tasmania and on the mainland, travelling, and life in Australia — my journey from Working Holiday to Permanent Residency.

    Gadget weeks

    And now for something completely different: when I’m not in the forests I usually spend a lot of time with my MacBook. When people ask me what I’m actually doing I always say “computer work”. To prove that this is true and I’m not just wasting my time on facebook (like many others): check out the new website of my mothers business, I created a new design and included some nice functionality. Hard to believe this is realised with Wordpress once again, but it is becoming a really powerful backend for small websites if you know how to use it.

    There is one more thing… Maybe I will get my iPhone in the next couple of days. Oh yeah! It’s not sure yet whether Tasmania will actually get some shipments or not (Apple will launch the new model in 20 countries simultaneously on 11 July and Tasmania probably doesn’t have a high priority) but I’ll keep my fingers crossed. I am looking forward to get a new gadget and finally be able to replace my iPod shuffle and that prepaid handset. And this would improve my mood dramatically ;)

    You may have noticed I started improving this website a little bit. More improvements and new features are in the works, stay tuned. Hopefully I will post more frequently in the future.
