a little bit about me
I've loved creating things since childhood and once I got my hands on my
first computer I started teaching myself how to program and never looked back.
I eventually achieved my B.S. in Computer Science and now spend my days being
quite passionate about whatever fun software projects I can get my hands on.
I worked for 13 years in the airline industry on the revenue
accounting side of the business. Since 2010 I have worked as Director of Software Development
for a phenomenal real estate group in Newport Beach, California building from scratch their
entire web-based management system.
In my spare time for the past 4 years I've assumed the role of
IT Director for VideoSift.com and also built numerous custom PHP-based
software systems for multiple high traffic website communities. Here are some examples of such projects:
NeatoShop.com,
TeeVirus.com,
VideoSift.com,
Neatorama.com/upcoming,
NextRound.net/upcoming
In addition to telling you this little bit about myself, I finally decided to add a little more programming-centric content in the form of a Coding Log (or Clog, as I've coined it):
If you're wondering, yes, this page is this plain on purpose. I like simple. : )
From the Archives...
I came across this old program I wrote a few years ago (in 2005). It's a desktop application that
I was toying with as a very simplified version of an MP3 playlist editor and MP3 player.
My goal was to make it simple and unobtrusive (see the image below) and in its current unfinished form, I
think I achieved that. The player is tiny and can be hidden/controlled (play, pause, previous, next) in the system
tray. Download, unzip, and give it a try if you're up to it: LMEdit.zip.
A simple click on that tray icon will pause/unpause - This is essential if you're at work
Here's another neat old app I wrote back in 2003. It's a binary clock and aside from telling time, its
main purpose is to illustrate how geeky cool you are to anyone who sees it on your computer screen.
Download it: binclock.zip. Double-click to change the color of the virtual LEDs
and hit ESC to close it.
How quickly can you tell what times are shown here?
