Any time I look to start or rebuild a personal project I see it as a reason to try and learn something new. I am rebuilding my photography site from the ground up. So that gave me a good reason to look at NextJS as my static site builder and find out what all the buzz is about.

In this episode I share my thoughts on working from knowing almost nothing to having a working site using NextJS to build it.

In this episode I share my process and some thoughts on how I go about designing applications. The differences between designing ahead of or during development and how that affects the process.

Unity is a great platform for developing mobile games and applications, but configuring the game window to show how it will look on a device can be a pain. Until I discovered the Device Simulator package!

Listen on for the details.

I thought it would be interesting to have an audiolog as a developer journal. This week was a very busy one with WWDC20 and creating some Ubuntu VM’s.

Listen on for the details.

I know what you are thinking, this is the same episode as the last one? That is true and yes it is intentional. The reason for this is I can only refine my process of creation by testing it.

In particular the use of chapter markers in an episode, so hopefully I can learn from this and beg your forgiveness for the repeat.

It all starts with nothing, or in this case an episode zero. Something that is almost the birth cry of every podcast.

So in this short introduction I will say a little about who I am, what I do and what this is all going to be about.

The short version, Web and App development. Gaming, design, user interaction and producing content in many forms including how I make podcasts and videos to share with the World.

We all have them, and we all have to make choices. But just how do you do that?

Subscribe to the podcast for this and many other thoughts on how Creativity is a massive part of my life and process.

My problem might be my biggest strength.

When I start something new I go all in, straight for the deep dive. I'll learn as much as I can, practice and push myself to do the best job I can at whatever it is. That's my strength, it should be yours as well.

A few thoughts on how to tackle new things and have a feeling of achievement rather than just dabbling at something on the surface.

I think it is very important to always be you. I get that for some people they might not like that, or maybe they do not appreciate the way you dress or talk.

But by always being you, they know what they are getting, first and foremost that is honesty and it sets a level of expectation going forward.

Please take a moment to rate and review this podcast, it really helps me know if I am on the right track. Thanks!

Journaling is hugely popular, and I believe a great way to learn and improve your creative process.

In this episode of The Life Creative podcast I offer ways to either start or improve your journaling to aid personal growth and inspiration.

OK I don’t normally embed other peoples media, but this episode of Akimbo by Seth Godin struck a chord with me so hard since I’m a software engineer and UI/UX person that I had to make sure as many developers as possible listen and think about what he is saying.

The comparison to buying a Car and the network effect really has made me think different. No pun intended.

It is very important to capture those ideas in any form you can when you have them, even when they might be rough quick thoughts. They do not have to be perfect, but capturing them is a must.

From a few simple words, or a sketch, to a couple of lines of text. Capturing even the beginning of an idea has to be a priority for you.

Not everyone likes working in a team, if you are one of those creatives that likes to run solo then this episode is for you.

I offer a few ways to make it work and how to explain it to others who maybe just don’t understand why you prefer working alone.

Source control is something everyone should be practicing. Maybe you know the term but not the reasons why it is important. I am going to give you three reasons why you should be using it along with some tool suggestions to get you started.

Another wonderfully productive weekend. 2 Podcast episodes, live stream recordings of development and game play. What a great weekend. Love getting new content out to you all. Visit https://peterwitham.com for everything.

Through a series of synchronistic events I have a new project I am working on.

For the first time, I am making paid content.

In this episode I share my thoughts on the project, what it is, how I plan to do it, and how I think it will work.
For anyone that has ever made something to share and ask for payment, I am sure you will have experienced a lot of these thoughts and concerns.

If you are interested in getting all the details, I posted a video explaining everything to the Patreon post found here.

Here is the link to the Code Notes source code mentioned in the episode.

I think it’s time to have the discussion don’t you? This year the rollout was rough and I think Apple needs to get back to their great idea from the past ‘Release when it’s ready’ not when the calendar or stock price says it’s time to release.
