The topic of this website is programming. For my author site, I originally cloned from my programming portfolio site, cut, then extended for years, then recently migrated from Drupal 7 to Drupal 9.

Most author sites are WordPress these days.

Indoor Salad

The site supported the launch of my book, Indoor Salad: How to Grow Vegetables Indoors, published in September 2013, an Amazon category best seller. There were a couple physical products, too, but I pivoted away.

I'm a student of Eric Ries' Lean Startup methodology, and involved in the New Haven entrepreneurial scene.

The Indoor Salad website was my first Drupal eCommerce site, using Ubercart on Drupal 7, with a mobile-friendly responsive layout based on AT-Commerce.

Yale College Themes

Implemented Drupal themes for Ezra Stiles College and Morse College at Yale, among others. Simple work for hire - I was given designs to implement. Wrote the documentation for several other colleges' Drupal themes, and did occasional maintenance on themes implemented by other subcontractors.

Yale University had its own Drupal 6 version and modules and standards.

MapNavigator

MapNavigator interactively explored a 3-year world cruise itinerary. Embedded in a Drupal site, and then reimplemented in HTML5. Drupal and HTML5 is the technology stack I originally recommended, but the client tried to save money and ended up implementing it twice and spending more. That happens.

The client doesn't seem to use an interactive anymore.

AerogardenMastery

AerogardenMastery was a Drupal community site I built around my indoor gardening hobby, with Aerogardens and assorted other gardening technology. Site featured full custom theme, PhotoBucket integration, and drag n drop from Google Picasa API into lightboxes. Most recent change was reimplementing Picasa lightboxer in jQuery, from Flex.

This was a labor of love, but when hackers kept breaking it, I couldn't afford the time.

CrossPlan / Cross-Suite

CrossPlan / Cross-Suite was a site for social integrated circuit block-level layout editing. I built database, intelligent integrated circuit editor, design history management, integrated instant messaging, and the whole Drupal site, for The Shearwater Group and Pinebush Technologies. The recession put the project on terminal hold.

FlexSimpleStats


FlexSimpleStats
tracks semantic usage statistics within my simulators - what users actually do with them. These days, one can use Google Analytics for this, but SimpleStats predates GA by years. The server side of SimpleStats is implemented in PHP and MySQL, called by client-side Java, Flash, or Flex. This tool browses and charts CourseWare historical usage data, back to January, 2004. Originally implemented in Flash, now in Flex.
