About Me
I've loved creating things since childhood and once I got my hands on my first computer I started teaching myself how to program and never looked back. I eventually achieved my B.S. in Computer Science and now spend my days being quite passionate about whatever fun software projects I can get my hands on.
For the past 12 years I've worked in the airline industry on the revenue accounting side of the business. In my spare time for the past 2 years I've been part of what is far and away the best video community anywhere, VideoSift. I work (if you want to call it that) as the Sift's IT director and I also wrote Varo CMS, which is the underlying framework for the Sift. Recently I created a little fun project call Yuarel that allows you to generate your own customized URLs. It's sort of like tinyurl but much more powerful.
This little nothing page may be replaced eventually with something of more substance, but for now I'll just let it tell you this little bit about myself.
To learn more about VideoSift or to get in contact with me, visit Sift Partners, Inc. or write to me at rommel at videosift dot com. I do a bit of consulting work on the side, so if you are working on a fun project and are looking to enlist the help of an experienced, motivated PHP programmer, I'd love to hear from you.
I just found this old program I wrote a few years ago (in 2005). It's a desktop application that I was toying with as a very simplified version of an MP3 playlist editor and MP3 player. My goal was to make it simple and unobtrusive (see the image below) and in its current unfinished form, I think I achieved that. The player is tiny and can be hidden/controlled (play, pause, previous, next) in the system tray. Download, unzip, and give it a try if you're up to it: LMEdit.zip.
A simple click on that tray icon will pause/unpause - This is essential if you're at work
Here's another neat old app I wrote back in 2003. It's a binary clock and aside from telling time, its main purpose is to illustrate how geeky cool you are to anyone who sees it on your computer screen. Download it: binclock.zip. Double-click to change the color of the virtual LEDs and hit ESC to close it.
How quickly can you tell what times are shown here?
