Projects

Being a typical enthusiastic computing science graduate, I’ve often more ideas than time to implement them. Most of the time this leads to a scattering of half-completed projects and huge todo lists. Occasionally some things do get finished, and if they’re considered useful, will probably show up in this area of the site.

Greasemonkey

Being pretty into web development, Greasemonkey is a personal fave of mine, allowing you to play around with the behaviour of other sites to more suit how you want them. I’ve written quite a few scripts for various sites, including Facebook, YouTube and SomethingAwful.

Check them out in the Greasemonkey section of the site.

WordPress

As anyone who knows me will know, I’m quite fond of WordPress and its extendability. I’ve written a small plugin to handle links dynamically, and I’m working on a far more ambitious gallery system, with integrated image editing functions. I’ll periodically post about this on the blog if you’re interested.

Web development

For the past 2 years of my life I’ve worked for Prospects, the first year on placement as a web developer and the second as a web designer. I’ve now left to work for Symbian in technical consultancy, but still hold a keen interest in the current web development world (hence the site).

More as a learning exercise into ajax and all that jazz, I made a Google Maps minisite to get used to javascript development, and using the cool maps API. This led to quite a few unobtrusive, degradable javascript solutions written for Prospects.

Future stuff

As much to remind myself as to inform you, these are some of the ideas I’ve currently got. Whether or not these will see the light of day is a completely different matter.

• Wordpress Gallery plugin (under development)
• Look into F8 platform – takeover game?
• Play around with Y!Pipes for an online activity feed
