The Copy Squad – Ticketing

The Copy Squad - Ticketing

The Copy Squad contracted my self to modify open source ticketing system eTicket to support their process. Changes were not trivial and involved modifying a product that lacked any developer documentation.

Breeze Tech shopping cart

breeze-tech.co.uk.shop

Breeze Tech are specialists in proximity marketing based in UK. They wanted to start an online shop/e-commerce site in order to increase the ease of acquiring their products. On my recommendation they went with Magento open source e-commerce platform. They required a custom theme consistent with rest of the site. They are very happy with the outcome.

So Fo Real – multi site shopping cart

needrapbeats.com

So Fo Real productions went multi site, each site more focused on a particular genre. While doing this they wanted to avoid duplicating content and tasks. I was contracted to modify the Flash player and shopping cart to serve all domains with the tracks specific to the genre.

soforealproductions.com and the related sites are now hosted on a Xen Linux VPS.

BlisMobile web site

blismobile.com

BlisMobile Media started life in 2003 as one of the first mobile media owners at a time when 160 characters of text was about as engaging as a mobile media campaign got. They recently wanted to revamp their web site consistent with their new look. They contracted my self to deploy a WordPress based site and develop a theme that is consistent with their new brand name. They are very happy with the outcome, specially Gregor Isbister (Managing Director, BlisMobile Media).

Euro coin trading company

euroscoin.com

euroscoin.com provides online presence for Euro coin trading company. They were using Network Solutions for web hosting, but were not happy with the response time of Network Solutions support. It was a hard decision to make because they will have to put behind many years off experience with Network Solution’s CMS, ImageCafe. I was able to convince otherwise with a demo site using WordPress. euroscoin.com proudly powered by WordPress and currently hosted at Netfirms.

Smart Throttle WordPress plugin

smart-throttle

Smart Throttle WordPress plugin dynamically adjusts the time out between comments. Time out is decided by the rate of comments in the last hour. WordPress has a default comment time out of 15s. Which is sometimes not sufficient when your blog is being flooded with spam comments, every comment requires at least one write to the database. With a swarm of bots it quickly adds up, specially on a server with limited resources. Smart Throttle adjusts the time out depending on the rate of comments in the last hour from the given user.
