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 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.

This was a fun project I started on for a history class. I was going for a Risk type game where you could gather a number of troops on a large scale map and then zoom in to a turn based battle as they are waged.
The dialog boxes were all custom themed and the graphics were stock photos that I manipulated to get the effect I needed.

This project was fun in that I got to play around with Java’s graphical abilities (rounded rectangles, gradients, draggable controls, etc.) This program was made for an Object Oriented Design class as part of a two group application. One group was told to create a graphical interface for generating Java code, via UML, and one group was told to create an XML representation of UML from Java code. I was assigned to work on the latter, but this program is what I had finished of the former, so it is marked as prototype code.
