| My homepage; it has gone through several generations, each time adding the skills that I've learned such as CSS, DHTML, etc. |
| 2003 | I began adding pages such as the car projects and stories. The old version didn't have a good header & footer function so I converted everything to use that. It brings the whole site into a single theme. |
| 2000 | I changed the theme to have some beautiful images found on NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day site. The text were shaded in Fireworks and Photoshop, and the color scheme of the site is managed through CSS on the newest pages. No WYSIWYG editors were used, the editor of choice is EditPlus for Win2000 or Pico for Linux. One of the coolest features of this site is the colorize function I wrote for PHP which takes in a string and returns the HTML font tags that will do a gradient shade of the string. |
| simplefiles.net (2002) |
| A way to sell pictures, video, etc. over the internet by small-time producers. |
| 2002 | A lot of sites have tried to set up micropayment schemes. While they had good intentions and aspirations, they just didn't work out. I had a bunch of pictures I thought people would like to have but I couldn't afford the bandwidth and storage costs to just share them for free. So I created simplefiles. Basically, anyone can upload a file to sell, and anyone else can buy/download that file. Only a small transaction fee is charged by me for each sale, so the people selling get to make most of the money. |
| 2003 | The site has now been running for almost two years, it's working great and I've sold hundreds of files. The site pays for itself but isn't a big moneymaker. A lot of people just don't want to pay for things online. |
| simpleads.org (2002) |
|
| 2002 | I always wanted to find a way to make money off the traffic my sites get, but advertisers kept cutting me off because I don't offer a demographic that they want to sell to. So I had to create my own. The system I made is 100% automated, including all the payments which go through PayPal. |
| 2003 | The site has now been running for almost two years, the site does great and brings in over $2000 a year while costing less than $200. |

| Languages | ASP, HTML, JavaScript, VBScript, CSS, SQL, SQL Stored Procedures |
| Existing | Static store page without online ordering capability. No client administration. |
| What I added | I designed and wrote a store that has client-maintainable categories, products, and images. The user can click on "add" which adds it to their cart (the cart is stored server-side in a UniqueID SQL/Session Variable entry. When the user checks out they enter their info (except the credit card info) which is then emailed to the company who then call the customer to get the credit card info. Online payments were not allowed because a SSL server was not available for this site. |

| Summary | I worked on a big team to make this website, the site comprised of several hundred unique pages. I was responsible for coding the common-menu files, the client-side VB Shell, the slicing and compression of all the images, and the actual HTML and ASP code for most of the site. Back-end programs such as Stored Procedures, AOL DLL access, AIM client access, and most of the artwork were done by other groups.
