Aaron Heath - My Projects

At any point in time I have a number of projects on the the go. I generally code utlising C, PHP, Shell Scripts, AppleScript, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery, HTML and MySQL. I have begun expanding my knowledge to get in depth grounding of Objective-C.

Please feel free to contact me regarding any projects or enquiries.

Blog

http://blog.aaronheath.com/

This is my personal blog which I periodically update when my thoughts on a range of subjects. This blog utilises the WordPress open source blogging tool. It has been up and running since early 2005 when I purchased aaronheath.com. It now also has a couple of other domains forwarding too it (aaronheath.co.uk and aaronheath.me).

Pics

http://pics.aaronheath.com/

This is a image gallery system that I have developed and is where I publish all my personal pictures. It was developed after deciding I wasn't going to be paying for Flickr when I could develop my own system and have it tailored for how I want to use it.

I built it utilising my skills with PHP, JavaScript, jQuery, MySQL, HTML5, CSS and on the Apache HTTP server platform.

The site features are but not limited it to the:

Uploading of pictures
Display of my pictures
Pictures being organised into sets
Social features such as comments
Permalinks for each picture and set
Permalinks for the about page and the most popular pics page
RSS feed for recently added pictures
Google and Bing compatible xml sitemap
AJAX interface, meaning that content automatically refreshes
Multiple picture sizes to be downloaded (small tile, large tile, small and large)
Camera Information for each picture (if available)
Date and time that the picture was taken (if available)
Smooth fluid interface that doesn't require constant reloads of pages

About My Browser

http://browser.aaronheath.com/

After focusing on my JavaScript skills I decided to knock up this page which can let the user know some details about the browser they are using to view the page.

Features of this page are but not limited to:

Vendor
Version
Operating System
Cookies Support
IP Address
Screen Dimensions
Available Screen Dimensions
User Agent
System Platform
and some educational links

UEFA Competition Tracking

http://uefa.aaronheath.com/

I have always been a lover of sport and have decided to create one of my tracking systems to be publically viewable. All the entering of results and fixtures is performed on the backend however anyone is now able to view the output in an attractive format.

Features of this site include but are not limited to:

Tracking of UEFA Champions League and Europa League fixtures
Group Tables
Upcoming fixtures
Team summaries including all fixtures, goals scored, goals conceded, games played, wins, losses and draws plus the table of the group that the team was in
Easy viewing of the knockout phases to see how teams progress
Detailed statistics for each team which can be ranked by the user

It took me about two weeks to develop this system from next to scratch. I feel it has turned out fairly well.

One guarantee I will make is that it will load much much faster than uefa.com.

More information on this project can be found here.

Depp the Dalmatian

http://depp.aaronheath.com/

This is one of my main projects at the moment. It is currently a picture blog which is periodically updated with pictures of my dalmatian Depp (named after actor Johnny Depp). It was launched in February 2011 to coincide with the arrival of Depp from Australia following my migration to the other side of the planet.

The site has been wholly coded by myself utilising PHP and MySQL running on a Linux server. The site also interfaces with ImageMagick to resize images for the site and with Twitter to update Depp's account when new pictures are uploaded.

Direct Me

http://url.aaronheath.com/

This is a simple tool that I have written to reduce the length of long URLs. These URLs can be used in messenger programs or character limited environments such as Twitter. It is written in PHP. The user can enter in a long URL such as 'http://support.microsoft.com/kb/242450' and it will be reduced to a much smaller URL (in this case 'http://url.aaronheath.com/okE0k'). This is open to the public and anyone can use.

Cricket World Cup 2011

No Link Available

This project tracked the most recent world cup. It was easily the most complicated sports tracking project due to the intricate nature of cricket and the regulations of the world cup. This is a project that I am very proud of particularly due to how complicated cricket is.
