nokrev.com—my personal experiment in the latest web tech.

It’s been featured on a number of hip design sites, including Web Creme and Andy Budd’s list of well-designed sites. I’ve learned most of what I know about the internet from playing on this site.

The site currently, and for the last several revisions, has been run on the Django framework, and has been written in Python (the current source is also available).

I also worked at Thunder Data Systems.

I produced some beautiful stuff here, especially with XHTML and CSS. As a resident JS guru, I produced some neat web-apps written using PHP and Python.

My work here taught me a lot, and got me interested in lexing and parsing programs and into the area of functional languages. It also helped to keep me up-to-date with the latest trends in Javascript frameworks and CSS tricks.

Back in the day, I worked on Photojunkie.ca.

Rannie Turingan used this for his site, as a blog, a photoblog and a platform for his featured articles. I made a neat conglomerate that merged the three sections, making it especially seamless to work with completely different datatypes. This was significant at the time when WordPress had fewer plugins for automating this.

I made a couple of WordPress themes, too.

I’ve published both the very popular Fresh Bananas and White Onions free for anybody to use.

Fresh Bananas has really caught on, and I get quite a few links from people using it. I developed it for entry into Alex King’s WordPress 1.5 Theme Competition, where it remained on the list of popular themes on the WordPress site, while the list was available. That list has been replaced by a much more comprehensive site, which even includes a Fresh Bananas profile page.

The White Onions theme was made more for personal use. It’s older and less flexible, but it’s still used on a few different sites.
