Projects
From time to time something tickles my fancy enough to make it a personal project. When they turn out well enough I like to try and give a little back. Feel free to use anything you find here, just let me know if you end up using something as I like to know if what I’m doing is being found as useful or not.
Thanks!

QuizStreak Daily Trivia
A daily trivia game that is the brain child of my brother-in-law.
Built using Sveltekit and Supabase using only the bare minimum of NPM libraries and with artisinally crafted CSS. It is fun to work on and the subject matter is interesting as well.

PHP-Cowsay
Cowsay. For PHP.
Yup. I blame this existence of this on my chemo treatments having fried my brain.
This composer library allows you to bring the quirkiness of Cowsay to your PHP applications.
The cows are fully configurable and there’s an easy to follow pattern for adding your own variations.
You want a dragon? You can build your own dragon. You want your dragon to breathe fire? You can do that too with custom traits.
The world is your pasture.

My Resume

Ruby, SASS, Markdown, Javascript, Python, PHP, Bash,Docker, SVG, HTML & JSON. All pain-stakingly mashed together using theJekyllEleventy static site framework. -
Sloganator 2.0
A bolt on forum slogan system built on PHP & SQLite. A good excuse to play with modern PHP. It started as something to build from scratch, to see how much could be done as simply as possible, but quickly ballooned once we started caring about quality and stability. Functional and performant, but still needs work.

jQuery Togglr Plugin
The jQuery Togglr Plugin is designed to eliminate some of the redundant code that we end up using a lot at work. A lot of admin areas in WordPress benefit from the ability to show and hide content. With the Togglr Plugin this can be achieved quickly and consistently and it degrades nicely if some other plugin kills your javascript.
The Trash Pile
These preojects are abandoned, and I should probably delete them to protect my reputation, but I’m leaving them here for posterity.
Browse, but don’t use these for anything but an example of what not to do in a modern world.
