BITE:Wokingham

I originally built this when I was living in the town and found that there wasn't a single website listing all of the takeaways. Back then it was known as WokinghamTakeaways.co.uk but I realised that including all restaurants would target a greater audience. The site has a rate and review system; anyone may create an account and leave their comments and views of the town's restaurants. This was my first PHP/MySQL project and I have learnt much from its creation.

OnTheTube

...the adventures of a London commuter...

This started from doodles on a few scraps of paper. I used to get to work and draw stick figures of various events that had happened on my commute. After a while, I started putting them on FlamePad's blog along with their back stories. This started to become its own project and so OnTheTube.co.uk was born. I also integrated live updates from the TfL website. More can be done and I'm currently looking into the possibilities of what I consider to be a rather good domain name.

When a friend graduated from University with a degree in photography, I mentioned that a website would be a great place to display her work to possible employers. As she is more comfortable with a camera than code, I offered to design and build it for her. The site now dynamically updates with the photos and albums she uploads to her Google Picasa account. Elinor occasionally sells her photos on the site; where I installed Google Checkout.

A friend recently started their landscape design business and asked me if I could help with her company website. Working from her mockups I built an artistic, animated site using jQuery.

Have My CV

Your Digital Resume

Before I got to grips with PHP and MySQL, I used to create online content using Wikidot. They have a great community and the syntax is very flexible. I graduated right into the middle of the last recession and was finding it difficult to get a job. This website was part hobby and part tool. I found that on websites like Monster, I couldn't simply send employers my CV and so needed to be able to store it somewhere, publicly, on the web. All the sites I discovered that allowed for storing CVs online looked like they hadn't been updated since the nineties, so I decided to create my own. The good guys at Wikidot actually bought the domain for me; previously it was onlinecv.wikidot.com - a bit of a mouthful.

Broccoli

An open source, one user blogging system that easily integrates with existing pages.

Originally given the name "FlameBlog", I wanted to create a really easy way to drop a full blogging solution into my sites. Using PHP includes and a MySQL database, Broccoli can be set up in minutes on any PHP powered webpage. Broccoli is now integrated into several of my sites, and with the code on GitHub, anyone is free to use and modify the system.
