My Projects
The various projects I have worked on include:
The Sketchup Components Collections
It all came about after seeing the burgeoning interest in using SketchUp to design and model custom-build PCs – the hobby (and now profession to some) called ‘modding’.
At first I just started a thread in the bit-tech.net forums, but it quickly became disorganised and it was difficult to actually find the components. It was suggested that they be better organised, and I figured I should have a go at do just that.
It started as an Access/ASP mess of code, but I then had to move host. The SCC is now a MySQL/PHP mess of code instead, though it does get the occasional tidy.
There is a new version in the works right now.
There are now more than 350 items, and they are still coming in.
Emitters Map
(moved to my personal space for posterity)
I created a Google-Maps “mashup” for Carbon360 (now sadly gone). Using official data from the DTI it dynamically shows the top 20 carbon dioxide emitters in the visible area. (There are ~1070 emitters in the UK registered under the EUETS.)
This project interfaces with the JavaScript API and includes AJAX calls to a PHP file I wrote which returns XML taken from a MySQL database which was populated with addresses converted to long/lat coordinates from another DB.
