This section of the site provides an overview of various web-projects I work on in my spare time. I use these sites and projects to learn about new technologies and try out things that I would otherwise not have the opportunity to use.


Project Description

Please note: UKLans is currently being re-developed using ASP.Net 2.0 and has been taken down whilst the re-write takes place, check back soon for updates.

UKLans is a computer gaming website which lists gaming events known as LAN Parties. LAN Parties are events where people gather and play computer games in a village hall or similar venue (some even as big as 1,500 people). The organisers of the events sign-up to UKLans and post their event for free. The directory allows interested parties to find when, where andother details of each event in their local area using a number of different search criteria.

The site also provides various gaming related information in the form on news, reviews and guides. The community forum has over 350 active members and thousands of posts about gaming and LAN Parties.

The website is currently being re-written using ASP.Net 2 and Microsoft SQL Server 2003.


Project Description

PlanetTR is an information site for a game currently being developed by NCSoft called Tabula Rasa. The site reports all the latest news about the game and also provides a number of guides and media for the game. I was involved in the original design and development of the site and provide technical support to the current site manager.

The site is based on the DotNetNuke portal and has been modified to meet the requirements. It is an extremely popular site which grows by thousands of visitors per month.
