Welcome to howden.net.nz

What is howden.net.nz?
howden.net.nz is simply the personal website of Blair Howden, nothing more, nothing less. Originally this site was constructed in 1998 as part of web design project when I was student and I decided to keep the site running afterwards adding extra content and eventually giving the site it's own domain howden.net.nz in 2001.

Who am I?
My name is Blair Howden, you are probably thinking why would you go to the trouble of creating your own site like these days anyone can have a presense on the web by joining a social networking site such as Facebook or Google+ but this site was constructed long before such pages existed. For a time I contemplated whether it was worth keeping this site going but remembering the diary I kept about my battle with cancer in 2005 I felt this justified having a website. So this is now the new and much smaller howden.net.nz with a new and more efficient design and minus some of the less interesting content.
