KigraSoft - Initial Post

Reworked KigraSoft Website

With this post I am starting a new version of the KigraSoft website. It had originally been started several years ago as I was working on developing mobile applications and games for the iPhone and Android smartphones. For the most part, I have not been actively working on those project since 2014. It is time to rework and start rebuilding how I want to use this website going forward.

KigraSoft Goals

For the foreseeable future, KigraSoft will remain a side activity, more a hobby than a business. With that in mind, I have three basic thoughts or goals for the website:

• Documenting Solutions and Processes for Future Reference

  I have in the past developed many processes and techniques for addressing a particular problems or challenges. I am always on the lookout for ways that I can use the computer technology available to me. Many times however, once I have figured how to solve a particular problem, I may not actively engage with it for sometime. I will have then forgotten a lot of what I figured out before. I find myself struggling to understand a script that has been running in the background but now needs updating because of some necessary system change. I want to better document the what, why and how of what I have done so I can refer to it later.

• Giving Back to the Community

  As I document my solutions for myself, there is also the thought of giving back to the community. I have learned so much over the years from other blog posts and forum threads, but have rarely contributed anything back. Hopefully, as I capture what I have learned and am using in my own projects, I can write in a way that will be of use to others.

• Restarting KigraSoft

  I also have several application and game program ideas that I would like to work on and publish. Exactly how and what that might look like is yet to be determined. But as various programming efforts come together in mostly complete initial versions, I will probably release them through the KigraSoft website. Some will be open source projects, some will be web services, and others are yet to be determined.

All for now…
