About RobiNZ Blogs

Biography

I’m a Kiwi who lives in the western suburbs of Auckland, New Zealand’s largest city. I’m the Design Systems Manager for LDE (Engineers · Scientists). The role involves BIM/CAD/GIS Management for Civil, Structural and Geo teams.

My blogging is a hobby and started with RobiNZ CAD Blog, on Typepad, back in March 2004. I had learnt a lot from other websites & blogging seemed to be an easy way to give something back. The CAD blog took a broad view of Computer Aided Design in covering IT, Web and design related topics.

RobiNZ Personal Blog was split from the CAD blog in 2005 to avoid inflicting Fiat, Formula 1, cycling, and various other non-CAD/IT topics on my technical readers. For a while I also posted similar content on TypePad's sister Vox Blog system until that was retired.

RobiNZ Blog on Ghost

RobiNZ Blog is an independent publication launched on Ghost in September 2025 by Robin Capper. It's a combination of my previous TypePad & Vox Blogs, migrated here when TypePad closed in October 2025, and the home for all my future blogging content.
