ScratchPadsA ScratchPad is the equivalent of an online post-it note. A pad is given a unique name by the user, who can jot notes down, and then share the note with friends who can collaborate with their work.
cr3ation network mobile hosting
A simple, lightweight XHTML uploader with GZIP uploads enabled for less data movement to save on data costs from mobiles, with a configurable link gateway to Flickr, to post directly to a users account. This was made obselete a year after creation by Flickr implementing the feature natively.
CommentsAnywhere
A simple text to image PHP script with a form submission feature, allowing a universal comment box to be on any website without any coding being performed on the site in question.
UniBanned
A simple script to track banned IP's over a network of websites. Being banned on one network site results in being banned on all network sites. The script is simple, efficent and lightweight on resources.
Advanced Flash Player
Before Windows Media Player could handle SWF files, there were no adequate flash players. Using .NET and the Internet Explorer Flash plugin, I created a projector with many advanced features. It is still listed by Softpedia to this day, and is downloaded approximately ten times a day, even though it is obselete.
When released, Advanced Flash Player was the only program of it's kind on the freeware market. Since then, several other copycat products have appeared, some even with the same name. It features a built in web browser which can extract Flash URL's from pages and play them in-program. Organic buzz about the program has resulted it being listed on many shareware and freeware review sites.
Fat-Pie.com
Technical Support for David Firth, a digital artist. Code snippets and a temporary community forum have been developed and maintained.
cr3ation network hosting
File hosting service with a twist. Coded over 4 years, constantly maintained, resulting in very impressive statistics.
Supports upload tags, and embedded audio and video features. It also intuitively automatically offers HTML linking options for most popular image, audio and video formats.
The code behind the service has scaled reliably.
Our hosting service is a haven for many upcoming artists, who choose to host their newest songs on our network.

Music Search PlusInstant music and video searchers. Coded and maintained.
Referred to by some as "The start of Web 3.0", this music searching tool took the web by storm, and continues to be the most popular service on the network.
Within a week, it had been featured in a newsletter which reaches 100,000 people weekly, and served over 4 million valid MP3 results.
The site has since been featured on the front page of many social networking sites such as Digg and Reddit.
The instant success of these tools was a testament to the stability of the code and the servers behind it.
Many companies have approached and attempted to buy Music Search Plus, but each time, our team decided it was best kept as pure as possible for the good of the users.
Our commitment to this service has brought us great pleasure and recognition over the years.
Absynth & Cheese
Homepage for a digital artist. Coded on a not-for-profit basis.
Lightweight on the server, easy to navigate, and W3C compliant.
USBAnything
Detects the insertion/removal of all USB devices and gives the user an option to perform an operation when the specific device's state changes, such as offer an alert or start a program.

The GTAMP Community
My team orchestrated the revival of a gaming community who had recently been made homeless by the owner.
A website and gaming server were set up, complete with Web IRC link and SMF Forums.
The exercise was a test of a range of skills for our team, who produced the best community network of this type.

SickpediaAn online dictionary of rude jokes, the owner of which has released a bestselling book.
Sickipedia became incredibly successful after the launch of a best-selling book.
The old Wiki was unsuitable for what the client wanted, so I was asked to completely rethink how the site worked, while maintaining a "Web 2.0" feel.
The bulk of the code and design for the site was completed in under a week, and gracefully replaces the current Wiki software while offering a higher level of usability.
Maintenence of the code continued for 2 years, including incorporating high-performance optimisation from a specialist as traffic climbed.
b3ta
A digital arts community which has gained much fame over their years.
My team has coded and maintained their built-in image hosting service, which utilises multi-homed image servers, distribution networks, remote file calls and user tracking.
I have also made modifications on the code which drives the talk board, main board and links board.
SimpleAdmin
Provides a simple recursive directory search with optional filtering and image thumbnails, complete with full pagination and optimization for larger folders.
