In December of 2011, I joined Dr. Darshan Shah's team on their Follow That Patient Customer Relationship Management php project. Dr. Shah's team has invested over a year of development time into this Web Application Software. His  idea was based off his current practice in Costmetic Surgery. I came on board to build a custom calendaring application.

When I joined the project, it was an ad hoc build.  I implemented a Model View Controller Service Oriented Architecture php class system. I've also moved forward on unit testing the php code. The team is currently working to migrate to the architecture classes that I initially built.

Programming Kinect is a simple WordPress installation for a blog I'm writing about my experiences getting the Kinect for Windows to work and programming Natural User Interfaces against. It is an ongoing process. Content is added as I program with the Kinect or find useful resources. The Kinect for Windows is a brand new technology based on Kinect for XBox. The sensor and the Microsoft Kinect SDK 1.0 was released February 1, 2012. I'm excited to start working with the technology. I have a few ideas that I want to try out once I get this figured out.

Setting up a default installation of WordPress takes about an hour to accomplish on the correct server setup. The setup of this site included the installation and picking an appropriate theme for the website. I've added a few plugins for things like Social Media but those are a search and click install within the WordPress dashboard.

Value Hour is a blog that originally started out as more of a magazine covering all sorts of topics with content skimmed from freebie ezine article websites.  After my servers went down and all the data was lost, I wasn't sure what I was going to do with the domain. I've recently setup WordPress blogging software and now utilize the website to write about things that I read and find in books and on the internet.  I use this website as a think tank for myself and directed to myself. If you really need to understand what drives me, what processes and technology I use, Value Hour is the place to go.

Fundamental Horsemanship was born from a lifelong love of horses. I decided to develop a website full of the free resources around the internet. I based the site off a freely available open source .Net Content Management System called mojoPortal. I've worked extensively with mojoPortal in the past. It's easy to setup and get running. Fundamental Horsemanship was initially setup, content poured into it, twitter feed and Facebook page enabled in about 4 days. I maintain the website and continually add content as well as push out the content via twitter, FaceBook and LinkedIN. I have linked it up to Amazon.com's affiliate program as well as other affiliate programs around the internet. I'm in the process of implementing a Cafe Press product catalog to add to the features of the website.  It is a work in progress. If you have an idea, a domain and want to setup your own content website with affiliate programs, I can help you get started by uploading, installing and modifying one of the mojoPortal templates for you. You can then setup your own content and affiliates. I'll charge $500.00 for upload and color modification of one of the templates. I'll be available afterwards for consulting on affiliate programs and social automation techniques after the initial upload.
