This paper looks at the design and implementation of a wireless data entry system using cheap and widely available personal digital assistants (PDAs) as a hardware platform. This problem is viewed through the context of a small transportation company that is transitioning to a medium-large scale operation and needs a custom tailored solution to improve payroll efficiency and reduce errors. In my report, I detail the design considerations, the user stories, and the pitfalls that come with implementing a new system that interfaces with existing applications.

This site was developed to the customer’s exact specifications. This is a static site with a PayPal cart, a forums sections for gaming enthusiasts, and a wordpress-like news section for new posts.
Site link: C4-Gaming.com
This site was designed using a completely custom wordpress theme. The logo was completely redesigned and the header image was shot over the course of a few days and stitched together using Photoshop. Since this site was implemented with wordpress, the customer can edit the content like a Word document with no HTML knowledge required.

The Integrity Communications web page is completely revamped with a CSS layout, a brand new logo, and several design changes to help make the site more usable and readable.
Here’s a look at the original web site (not designed by me):
The new design:

This site was a blank slate as far as projects go. While working for Integrity Communications, I was asked to create a website for a sister company called DoveCom that, at the time, had no logo, content, or identity of any kind.
With this in mind, I created a logo and layout that reflected the company’s name while at the same time using a few design trends of the time like reflections, gradients, and darker colors.
We all have to start somewhere and this was my first foray into web design. It has all the bells and whistles you would expect from a web designer back in 2000: frame based navigation, flash menus, tables galore, etc.
While the design elements may be a little dated, this site has a clean and simple layout and that’s why I decided to post it.
This tool allows you to compare any two text files and view the changes. It has two resizable panes and leverages the power of HTML and CSS for the display window styles. It also has a numbered code line, so you can compare code a little easier.
