I really need to update this page as well as post up some screenshots of the REAL current projects I am working on. Yet, another “project” to work on, ha!
Past Projects
Hippy Green - Where green meets technology. I started a green blog on Earth Day 2007! I have a passion when it comes to technology and having it be green related. It just drives me nuts seeing technical achievements like a car that could be so much more if we put our time/money into renewable resources around the car rather then spend it on oil. I also am very interested in how new technology or current major business can go green and receive a large ROI within a few years. Hippy Green is more of a way to express my green views, it all started because two of my blog postings about solar panels and power received more traffic then the rest of my blog site, and still does!
Edible Tags - a social recipe website that I need to relaunch. I built a “working” version of the code before my trip to Europe, but the design was… awful. I have been working on the design and hope to get it back up and running in the next couple of months. I will be migrating it to Ruby on Rails rather then the LAMP environment. I will touch more on this once its up, but if your interested in a recipe website please contact me.
*Update* So I decided rather then create yet another social network and have people post their recipes, I took a semantic approach and started to scrap recipes. I will be posting up the mockup/design and giving the back links to the recipe site it comes from in the upcoming weeks. (May 11, 2008)
SpicyCMS - a PHP/MySQL content mangement system. I started this project back in October 2005. It worked will for the past year on john murch dot com. I have noticed that my CMS did not offer specific features like trackbacks and comments. I could have coded these features, but I also have a life, job, etc, so I moved to a open source option. Since I have been working with Movable Type for work everyday the past 2 months, I decided to play with wordpress during my free time. I will post some screenshots of SpicyCMS, but I wont post the code. Most of the code is a hack because of lack of planning and knowledge. I learned a lot from this project, but need something with more “options” without the work. I might code a another CMS in my free time, but using a framework like Ruby on Rails or CakePHP.
Here are some screen shots of the old John Murch dot com using SpicyCMS. I also post up some backend images of SpicyCMS.
Avronics - Was a website/blog that ran on a modified version of SpicyCMS that focuses around my EE/CS projects. I lost focus on some of the projects because my interests are else where. Theirs a couple of good postings and hopefully in the future you can buy some of our creations on our website.
