Following the increased publicity gained through the website DeviantART.com through receiving a community award known as a "Daily Deviation" for one of my many GreaseMonkey userscripts, the traffic through my Greasemonkey Version Control website has now resulted in over 9,000 downloads of these userscripts since the site launched.

Considering that this website has not been the subject of any active publicity, and instead these visits have resulted from links within DeviantART or UserScripts.org, this is a major achievement.

Whilst the visual design of this site is somewhat lacking at this time (more focus was put on developing the functional sides of this solution than anything else), future improvements are expected to make the site more attractive, as well as expand the functionality to provide auto-updating (much like Firefox extensions do).

For some time I have been involved with Home Brew Radio, a community radio show broadcast throughout Australia via the Community Radio Network.

My initial involvement was as one of the presenters, as well as photography duties at the concerts and gigs attended through my involvement with the show. Due to work commitments, I was unable to continue as a presenter, instead continuing my involvement assisting with technical issues on the website.

Leigh Freeman, a young woman planning to travel overseas, approached me with a view to creating a website which she could use to record her journey and keep in touch with her family and friends around the world.

The resulting website, created using the TextPattern CMS and the Singapore photo gallery package, was designed from scratch by Lucanos Solutions, in XHTML and CSS.

The banner at the top of the page is dynamically created from the content of a specified folder within the photo gallery section, and resized to fit, using a PHP script. This adds to the fresh feeling of the site and allows the user to update aspects of their own site very easily.
