the-racehorse.com web site![Large case study [bookmarkable project description]](/images/work-entry2.gif)
Industry: Publishing & Printing Started: Feb 2006 Completed: On-going
In early 2006, we built an online racing magazine web site with Limitless for Harbury Media Ltd. We used the Drupal content management system so that we could meet a tight deadline coinciding with a major racing event.
I developed a new module in PHP to display and maintain three types of articles on two kinds of home pages in a grid format. I made other PHP programming changes to fine-tune Drupal to the client's requirements. The site launched the end of March 2006. more...

the-racehorse.com stallion statistics database![Small case study [bookmarkable project summary]](/images/work-entry.gif)
Industry: Publishing & Printing Started: Apr 2008 Completed: Jan 2009
the-racehorse.com Stallion Statistics Database presents tabular and graphical information on thousands of stallions.
It is based on a custom database built on source race results, sales results and stallion nomination fees. The source data is imported, validated, standardised and inter-connected so that we can show a stallion's performance over time.
We created new Drupal modules (PHP) for use with MySQL. Commonly-used statistics are re-computed daily to ensure a fast response time when pages are generated.
All the graphs are implemented in standard HTML and require no
special software to view.

BBC 2007 Innovation Lab![Small case study [bookmarkable project summary]](/images/work-entry.gif)
Industry: Broadcasting Started: Mar 2007 Completed: Mar 2007
For the second yera running, we were one of ten companies short-listed from hundreds to attend the week-long BBC Innovation Lab for new media ideas.
With the help of mentors and experts, we worked on our idea throughout the week. We pitched at the end of the week of BBC Commissioners. Our idea was one of the few chosen to take forward.
Tell Me When is a service which notifies people on what to read, see, do or visit based on their interests.
Our week's experience was featured by Kathyrn Corrick for NMK in the
