About My Projects Poll

Yeah, the first one is a deep background element for my current stories. I love taking stereogram photographs (stereographs?) of trees; see image. I absolutely did design and build a house, when I was far younger. I live in it now. I used "built" in the sense of managing of and contracting for the construction of my house.

All of the above things I consider creative.

I also wrote a command line interface for #IBM #software. I don't really consider that very creative. Pretty much by the numbers work, after deciphering convoluted poorly documented open source software. I used #ZOWE, if you are interested in searching for more about it. I even gave a number of presentations about it at IBM conferences. I am pretty sure nobody other than me ever used what I wrote, but management wanted it, so I did it. It sucked all the creativity out of me, thus number 3 was the correct answer.

PS: The image is a #wigglegram #stereograph. If you look, it also moves back and forth subtly, helping your mind see the tree in three dimensions.
