Past Projects (or What I've Built Before)

Perusal of the development server where all these projects still dwell is available on request.*


	Sprint Canada (Extranet)
	Can't say much. NDA and all that. Involved in various windows-based C/C++ interfaces/tools and their CF/SQL-driven extranet counterparts.
	JavaScripts.com
	The most commercially popular web-based project I've created to date, it was originally the home site of Click here! The Internet Company, a group I'd been doing occasional contract work for. Based on specs by the owner, I made it into a thriving little JavaScript support community. Created in the spring of 1997 it was my first CF-based project and the source of quite a lot of fun, publicity and of course constant irritation and harassment by it's needy users. In a short period of the time the little community was not so little anymore, bringing the servers constantly to their knees under the heavy load. It was sold off to EarthWeb in late 1998 after the owners left the Internet field. [Contract job & Labour of love. Created site based on proposed outline. ColdFusion, SQL, HTML, JavaScript, Misc. graphics & Humourous writings, etc.]
	FatCow Web Hosting
	Moo. FatCow Web Hosting, L.L.C. was a web hosting company created by the marriage of a New Mexico insurance company and Click here! the Internet Company. Making use of cattle motifs and herd humour they intended to corral the power-hungry lower end of the volatile web hosting market. They currently operate under a different name and (smartly) a different operating system using different tools. Birth is often painful, but the start of the learning process. [Contract job. Most front-end and network-centric programming. HTML and Misc. graphics. Humourous writing]
	To Life!
	To Life! was a start-up company staffed by experienced professionals in the area of preventative health care. In other words, they sold vitamins and herbs. Their site was still online until just recently, but apparently has since been discontinued or changed names. [Contract job. Created site based on proposed outline. HTML, JavaScript, Misc. graphics.]
	Classic Limousines
	Classic Limo was a speciality limousine service offering an assorted of vehicles suited for both presentation and armored security. The site has either been discontinued or changed names. [Contract job. Created site based on proposed outline. HTML, JavaScript, Misc. graphics.]
	City of Aliso Viejo
	The planned City of Aliso Viejo of California decided to put a combination community bulletin board and real estate site up on the internet. Using ColdFusion CGI and JavaScript I built a full automated site for use both by residents and prospective buyers. The site has apparently been stripped of it's CGI by current in-house webmasters, but otherwise retains most of the original functionality. [Contract job. Created site based on proposed outline. HTML, JavaScript, Misc. graphics.]
	Pacific Bay Homes
	In many ways a clone of the Aliso Viejo site but with a stronger emphasis on real-estate, the Pacific Bay Homes site provided an interactive avenue to browse available houses and neighbors on-line. [Contract job. Created site based on proposed outline. HTML, JavaScript, Misc. graphics.]
	Calcomp Technology, Inc.
	Makers of digital tablets, Calcomp Technology had some rather demanding compatibility issues as far as the site went. When it came to the design, they couldn't make their minds up to save their lives. Nevertheless, they were fun to work with and, in slightly modified format, this site probably wins an award for having been the longest lived of any site I have yet created -- at least a year and a half or more. [Contract job. Created site based on proposed outline. HTML, JavaScript, Misc. graphics.]
	CTX New Computer Install
	New at the time, the CTX Computer Division needed a special MSIE-based form that would appear when the new computer users first turned on their systems. A form that would collect their user data, call up a 1-800 number, register the data then never be seen again. CTX was provided with a ColdFusion/SQL solution to peruse their new computer registration database live. [Contract job. Created site based on proposed outline. HTML, CF, JavaScript, ActiveX, Misc. graphics.]
	American Tech
	Commerce site for a computer systems and parts reseller. [Contract job. Finished CF/HTML when original contracter left for full-time job.]
	Auction Mart
	A small-scale computer parts auction house pitched as similar to eBay. [Contract job. Finished CF/HTML when original contracter left for full-time job.]
	The JavaScript Writers Guild
	The JavaScript Writers Guild is essentially defunct these days, though it may very well resurface in a modified form. THIS was the site that inspired javascripts.com, and was companion for a while to the HTML Guild.
	Fred Saberhagen's Worlds of SF and Fantasy
	I'm a long-time fan. What else is there to say? Was happy to do mock-ups and cover scans for them pro bono. Partially because they gave me autographed copies of every book Fred had written.

	Intrafoundation
	My professional web site, home of Intrafoundation. Currently developing control software for ISP's as well as straight e-commerce and identity web sites.

Money

I generally start paying attention to people trying to hire me when the figures reach the $4-5kUS per month mark. But please keep talking as long as you want on this subject....

Re-Location

No. Nope. Nein. I'm quite happy where I'm living at the moment. I strongly prefer contract virtual (off-site) work. Ie, getting paid NY or CA rates while living somewhere where rent & food are reasonable.
