hard and fast

This page was made with the intention of covering side/mini projects. However as usual I never find the time so it's stagnated somewhat.


Cargowire

September, 2008

This site is the current thrust of my development work and will be for the forseeable future. It's written in Visual Studio 2008 using C#, with xml and a few api's as data sources. Layered javascript enhancements are achieved using cufon, jQuery and facebox.

Key imagery has been sourced from iStockPhoto with smaller details created as needed.

Site Watcher

December, 2008

A simple Javscript based Adobe AIR app that polls and reports on site statuses. Developed with @davemcdermid and discussed in his blog.

.NET Controls

September, 2008

Throughout the creation process of original WebForms based Cargowire several reusable server controls were created. Including:

  • Twitter
  • BrightKite
  • Static Google Maps
  • Delicious
  • Rss Aggregation
  • Gravatar

If anyone is interested in these controls, either to make use of them in similar ways to me or purely to find out what I did give me a shout. I'll be happy to discuss them.

Simple Blog

2009

Having yet to find a .NET blog that I'm particularly keen on using I'm interested in developing a smallscale, simple and extendable .net blog platform. Originally this was going to be part of developing this site however the desire to get something live won out over long development times.
