Oh, Hi!

My name is J.P. and I work as a software developer for a living. My personal site exists for the sole purpose of having an outlet for my occasional creativity. Every now and then I get the urge to create something and when I do, this is where I put it. Thanks for stopping by!

Programming, playing basketball and snowboarding are the things that make me happy. I love the CakePHP framework, jQuery, design, and general computer nerdom. If you feel like getting in touch, feel free to say hello.

Flickr is for Photos

Last 10 Last.FM Tracks

About Me

MeI guess this is a picture of me. I don't really have an "about" section. I'm just kind of filling space :)

Twitter is Social

    Those are my last 7 "tweets"

    A Few Recent Projects

    sogd.fm

    Twitter music sharing service using the Twitter API, Last.FM API and oAuth. It was a lot of fun to create sogd.fm.

    Projects Jq Bg Resize

    jQuery plug-in making it possible to have a background image resize with the browser keeping the images aspect ratio in tact.

    Projects Jq Flickr

    jQuery plug-in to create dynamic photo galleries using Flickr. Plug-in operates off of a Flickr set-id and dynamically resizes itself to fit whatever container you put it in.

    Projects Cebphotos

    Photography portfolio for Casey Brevig Photography. Uses the Flickr API so Casey can manage his portfolio without having to call me.

    Projects Feeling

    Personal project combining the Flickr and Twitter APIs. Basically I have a Twitter account that dynamically serves up a "feeling" then searches for others that feel the same way. Incorporates Twitter search as well. Check it out.

    Projects Cebphotos

    My first and only Wordpress theme called Photominimal. I love playing with the Flickr API and this is a Flickr photo portfolio with Wordpress blog integration. It was intended to be minimal thus the name.

    Feel Free to Get In Touch

    Contact me via Twitter or Facebook. Come on...I know you have an account with at least one of them ;)

    It's Not Really a Resume...

    I love PHP, Ruby, jQuery, CSS, Javascript, XSLT, AJAX, UX/UI, and design.

    While I love PHP and Ruby I have quite a bit of ColdFusion experience from working at my current job. Here are a few of the object oriented frameworks I have worked with:

    1. CakePHP - My personal favorite OO framework. What can I say, I love to bake.
    2. Ruby on Rails - Awesome web framework created by the good people at 37 Signals.
    3. Mach II - Coldfusion - Nice framework with very strong OO principles.
    4. Fusebox (ColdFusion and PHP) - It's OK I guess :)

    Well, that's about all I have in me on the writing front today. I have more to say about programming, best practices, source control, documentation, and the likes but I'll come back around to that later. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great day.
