RSS 2 HTML

RSS 2 HTML allows you to embed RSS ‘feeds’ into your web pages in only a few minutes. Just copy the URL for the RSS feed into my page, then click ‘submit’ and my page will spit out the right HTML to copy into your web page, resulting in feeds on your web page.

You can even style the feeds with CSS.

RSS 2 HTML is implemented in PHP, with the front end implemented in HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

A recent search of pages using my rss2html feed script show it embedded in the following sites:
http://needsofthemany.blogono.com/
Needs of the Many is an American political blog.
http://e-selides.gr E-Selides is a Greek education resources web site.

These sites using my feed generator generate hits to my site in the order of 100,000!

ReNet Mobile Phone Agent Admin

While working for ReNet Pty Ltd I created the mobile phone version of the real estate agent Administration Portal. This was created using PHP, HTML, CSS & JavaScript.

This booking calendar allows holiday accommodation owners to manage the bookings for their properties online. It allows users to add, remove and change bookings for customers for any time in the past or future.

The booking calendar uses PHP, JavaScript, HTML & CSS. This tool is behind a firewall and only accessible to Renet clients.

This page is a tool which can be used for estimating project your timeframe. I coded this using HTML and JavaScript.

Can your PC stay up for longer than anyone else?
Want to see which OS can hold out the longest?

The uptime project lets you compare computer ‘uptime’ with other people. The tiny client software ensures your uptime is always shown with accuracy!

Uptime was created with C, PHP, HTML, JavaScript and CSS.

Day Calendar for ReNet Agent Admin

I created a daily booking calendar to add to the ReNet Admin Portal for real estate agents. The calendar allows agents to create, edit and delete appointments in their calendar at any time in the past or future. Each appointment can be associated with a contact or property (this links in with the contact and property management systems in the ReNet Admin). Reminders of upcoming appointments appear at the top of each page of the admin.

The application uses a combination of PHP, JavaScript and AJAX, CSS & HTML.

This tool is behind a firewall and only accessible to ReNet clients. I also added Google Maps to the Property Management section of the agent administration portal so that each property displays on map.

num2text

num2text is an online service that instantly converts numbers to their text equivalents. Example: 40,000 → forty thousand. The service includes PHP source code too, so you can reuse it wherever you want.

Calculator for E-Estimator

My work for Reed Construction Data (an extension of the ‘Estimator’ product) allows builders to easily quote prices for house construction and other building construction.

The Estimator program adds together every element of the construction process from roofs and girders to labour.

The calculator extension which I completed along with the functional specification (20 pages) allows for progressive addition or substitution of calculations.

This tool is behind a firewall and only accessible to Reed Construction Data clients.

The calculator was written in PHP, HTML and JavaScript.

Partner4Real

I created the mobile phone version of the Partner4Real web site. Partner4Real is a dating site that allows users to send and receive ‘lifelogs’ (blog-like messages) using their mobile phones. The mobile pages were created using Interchange (which I learned on the job), HTML & CSS.

AtlanticDVD

AtlanticDVD is one of the premier DVD rental companies in Australia, and their online store serves thousands of customers a month. In only 4 months, as Senior Developer & System Amin for Katalyst Web Design, I have created most of the code behind the new version of AtlanticDVD’s online store including full product management, checkout (with complex postage and insurance algorithms), order fulfillment (involving multiple shipments per order with varying postage and insurance costs).

The new site is implemented in Ruby on Rails, a programming language and framework I mastered on the job. This system will easily scale – which is a requirement of this, one of the largest Ruby on Rails deployments in Australia.

JSON 2 HTML

From the JSON home page:
JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data-interchange format. It is easy for humans to read and write. It is easy for machines to parse and generate.

JSON 2 HTML allows you to instantly view a string of JSON text as a set of nested boxes, corresponding to the objects, arrays and values in the JSON string. You can even have the page get the JSON string from a URL and automatically parse and display the string.

A link to this page is included in the home page for JSON, which was established to promote the JSON format.

JSON 2 HTML is written entirely in HTML and JavaScript, except for one php script which simply proxies requests to 3rd-party servers.

Countr

Countr lets you count stuff. Anything you want, cups of coffee, cigarettes, whatever. Of course,
the count will be saved so you can come back to the page whenever you want. The site also logs
every counter “Bump” and “Reset” so you can track how often the counter is increased.
