Who am I?
I am Anthony Carrick - I am interested in technology, writing, and photography.
I have a Bachelor of Multimedia Design from the University of Queensland and recently completed a Graduate Diploma in Information Technology, also from the University of Queensland, to further my IT knowledge and career.
I've set up this page to act as a "portal" to my various activities around the web and to showcase my skills and interests. I used some of favourite photos I've taken as backgrounds to each section. You can see a story of each photo at the "About The Photos" link in the bottom right corner.
Technology Projects
I have recently completed further qualifications in Information Technology from the University of Queensland. There, I learnt software and web development in Python, Java, PHP and C#, as well as database theory, use and development in MySQL and Oracle. I also studied computer networking, information security, and algorithms and data structures.
Of course, I've always been interested in IT anyway, and technology generally, hence this website and my technology blog, A Tech Witness.
Technology Projects
Here I discuss and show my university projects and I will document the progress of any new and ongoing projects.
Multimedia Design Portfolio
My original undergraduate degree was a Bachelor of Multimedia Design also from the University of Queensland. I made a portfolio to showcase my graphic design and multimedia projects. I have kept it updated over the years with a few recent additions. Now, I'm mostly keeping it as an archive for interest.
Github Code Projects
I'm using Github as my Git repository hosting platform for open source projects.
Some projects I have include a Chat Log Parser for Viber and Facebook written in Python, this website, plus my Unicode Character Stripper
Writing
I am interested in writing and language. To that end I have a few personal blogs and I contribute to an leisure website. My personal blogs include a kimchi and Korean food blog, a technology blog, and a new blog where I write about non-technology projects or general thoughts in my life.
Personal Blogs
Adventures in Kimchi — my Korean food blog.
A Tech Witness — my personal technology blog.
Thoughts and Musings — my personal blog.
Weekend Notes
I also write articles for the Australian run leisure magazine Weekend Notes.
I write about food and entertainment venues, leisure activity ideas, and locations.
Photography
I am an amateur photographer, interested in landscape, urban, and panorama photography.
Flickr
My best photos are on Flickr.
I also try to geotag my photos where possible so the map view will display many of them.
I try to post my more professional type photos on @anthonycarrick.
I will also post on this Instagram account when I have a new Weekend Notes article available.
Redbubble
You can purchase some of my photos in various products over at my store on Redbubble.
I like to choose the appropriate product for the photos, so some are available in more formats and products than others.
