Who is maple-thunder ?

That's me with a couple new friends I met while on a hike along the Skyline Trail in the Cape Breton Highlands. I'm a new programmer, interested in video games, amateur photography, history, and hiking. I'm not the best at taking pictures, but sometimes you just gotta try and capture the beauty of what you're looking at.

At home

I live on the east coast of Canada with my girlfriend and cat. They have breakfast together almost every day.

Gotta make a living ...

I work as a PHP/Drupal developer at a small web development company. On weekends (and some evenings) I also try to expand my knowledge of programming by either following tutorials or trying to build out an idea in a side project. Those don't have a great track record of getting finished though.

I will be writing about some of my side projects, and the journey from conception of idea all the way to the (hopeful) completion ! If you're lucky I might also write some posts about some hikes I take with my better half, and pepper some photos throughout the posts. ;)

In fact, here's one last picture from a trip I took recently (there may or may not be a post about that in the near future)
