What's New?


ITS Slider I spent the last couple of months working on a project with a few other people for the CIO at work. The goal was to redesign the ITS section of the website into something that's new and stands out from the rest of our site. The redesign was pretty much a UI/UX project that was done in 100% JavaScript. I think my favorite parts of the process were creating the loading progress bar and the dynamically-driven breadcrumb menu. What do you think?

Text Analyzer I've decided to release a tool that analyzes text files which was originally a project for my Java II class. The data this program gives you about text files is very unique so I would be happy to hear from you if you're able to find a use for it. Download Text Analyzer.

CSS3 and HTML5 If you're using a modern browser such as Google Chrome, Firefox 4+, Safari, or IE9, you'll notice that I've started to spruce up some of the bland UI across the site with HTML5 and CSS3. Expect more to come!

Improved login functionality Instead of having a separate section to login to my site (which looked empty and out of place with just having a few form fields), I've converted it to an AJAX-based lightbox login feature. It will now feel more integrated with the site and operate more smoothly.

Period Killer I've finished creating a program in C# that removes periods from folder names. It also has the ability to remove a user-specified chunk of text from each folder. I had a lot of fun making this and I hope that it comes in handy for somebody out there. Check it out.

In Development


Period Killer improvements Period Killer will soon have the option for recursive processing, filename cleaning, and more. I'm also in the process of refactoring the code which will make future changes and optimizations quicker.

Real time analytics I'm working on a real time tracking application using Node.js and Socket.IO called Viper. Basic visitor count and page tracking is now complete and I've just finished implementing browser type tracking. Browser type tracking needs a bit of polishing and more testing but will soon be done. Next will be browser version tracking and charts/graphs for the dashboard. The charts and graphs will nicely reflect the various tracking sections by updating themselves in real time using animations.

QForm A PHP class to programmatically create a fully valid HTML form. This class will soon have the ability to handle every kind of form element and to specify specific elements as a certain type in order to be validated on the client side or the server side. Have a look at the code and feel free to contribute.
