Hello World!

Hello fellow webbers! It feels good to finally have some web space where I can get my geek on.

My beginnings started as a college student at Utah State University with the on campus Help Desk. I had been working there six months taking phone calls and troubleshooting users Windows and Macintosh problems while getting my undergrad in Computer Engineering. Then a position opened up to assist in programming on their Help Desk Admin Site in PHP and I jumped on it because although customer support is important, it doesn’t hold a candle to the sweet nectar of programming, also I’m better with machines than with people. Now here I am about three and half years later with a Bachelors in Computer Engineering and working for the USU Information Technology department on the Programming & Design team and programming in PHP, Coldfusion, and Python.

Why did I wait so long so long to join the interwebs? Being a married college student in engineering doesn’t leave much time for tinkering. So here goes nothing!

Sliding AJAX Photo Browser

Above is the original photo browser for the print details page on any Instaproofs photographer website. It highlighted the previous, current, and next photo for an event category and the previous and next images were also links to the actual print details page and if clicked would result in a new page request. Very clean, simple, and effective. You could browse the prints quicker with a search or category page, which also resulted in a new page request.
