Prologue

I did it! I finally got around to installing a blog on a server of my choice. I went with Ghost - I like what they're doing. I also like markdown (it's the simple things).

But first things first, I've been blogging for a while now and recently somebody asked me for a list of blog posts (to somehow validate me to teach a course at the local university).

I quickly realised that they were scattered around the internet and I didn't really have the full list to hand, so as a reference for me and as way of illustrating my background to you - my first blog post is a list of old blog posts in loose reverse chronological order:

Hyperaud.io

Hyperaudio is something I've been working on for a while and in 2013 I got the chance to make it into an actual service. These blog posts track our motivations and progress. Ongoing.
