About 10 years ago I bought the domain code-trip.com with the intention of documenting my life as a freelance web- and game-developer travelling the world. I’d never heard the term digital nomad, if it existed at the time, I just thought it was a cool way to combine my passions into an aspirational package. The domain was obviously a play on road-trip with the assumption that I would be able to work on projects, with no fixed address, to fund my adventures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That’s not quite what happened. Reality intervened the domain lapsed and a couple of half-hearted attempts to retry all failed. In the time since, I’ve confirmed time and again the insurmountable paradox that I need accountability to achieve almost anything, that I prefer not to work on other people’s projects and that I am thoroughly incapable of holding myself accountable for my own projects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just recently I realised that my original idea of documenting the process, my code-trip, could be a way to generate that accountability. Document what I am<\/em> doing, to enforce what I should be<\/em> doing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So here I am: much older, a little wiser and ready to take another go at it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I’ll be documenting my processes here in planning, developing and (hopefully) launching a few projects using “you” – the invisible, uncertain audience – as an excuse to do it, as well as I can.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" About 10 years ago I bought the domain code-trip.com with the intention of documenting my life as a freelance web- and game-developer travelling the world.
