Here's a summery of some of my much older work. If you are interested in any of the stuff discussed here feel free to contact me.

Mphotos
My PHP based, object-oriented image gallery. I wanted something to automate batch file uploads, thumbnail generation, and also be able to handle permissions per group and individual so that a visitor will only be able to see albums and photos I want them to have access to. Mphotos has been freshly re-written and now uses GD for image manipulation. Previously used the NetPBM libraries.

The Digital Chol'qij
Also freshly re-written is the Digital Chol' qij, or Mayan Ceremonial calendar. This project has flipped from PHP to Perl and now back to PHP given that there is a PHP PEAR port of Perl's CPAN Date::Calc module. The class makes an equivalency between a given Julian calendar date and the Mayan Count of Days, as it is currently used by the Maya community in Guatemala.

InnerCityStruggle.org
A site powered by an early iteration of the Ten12 CMS. It Boyle Heights based non-profit which works to educate youth and train them in organizing around issues that impact thier lives. The site runs on a MySQL/PHP backend interefacing with GD graphics library to produce thumbnail versions of uploaded images.

The Ten12 Collective
A collective of techies and artists which provide affordable technological solutions made up mostly of my colleagues from the San Francisco Area. The Tumi's site has the most comprehensive list of all the projects we have collaborated on.

Putting Redhat 7.3 on my Toshiba Satellite 330CDT
Some information on how to put linux on this particular laptop model and how to dual-boot it with Windows 2000. Some of the tips are original, but mostly it's recompiled information that I gathered from notes on similar models from Linux-on-Laptop's Toshiba page.
