My Programming History

Sports betting terminals which used C# windows application is now changed to HTML touch screen friendly website, terminals are updated to launch Mozilla in full screen, had to change source code of mozilla browser to launch in full screen and not loose focus. So now no need to send individual terminal software update.

used iPhone SDK mapKit to paste custom map image over Texas University with their more detailed map for campus, (updating the MKAnnotationView instead of creating a new layer over MKMapView, as if you use MKAnnotation view you don’t have to draw again and again if you scroll around, on zoom scale your imageView in MKAnnotationView. No hide, less redraw, no flickring )

Using www.tyda.se API, created application for iPhone which would be able to search for words in desired language, show word meanings, translations, grammar details (i hate grammar), examples and pronunciation audio.

Facebook won’t play videos uploaded to their server on iPhone, iPod or iPad, even most of the videos i checked are H.264, but facebook won’t play any, so using Facebook connect API and Facebook connect iPhone SDK (it’s not an SDK), capture news/users/friends feed and list videos to play on iPhone. Some videos on iPhone still cannot be played because of flv video format, still better than noting.

Did setup asterisks, freepbx, a2billing VOIP on centOS 5, there were few call sequences not supported by freepbx or a2billing (a2billing callback deamon was working but didn’t give functionality on getting number from dial tone) so had to make own asterisks procedure to request user a desired number to call and callback on user’s profile callback number connecting to desired number all then linked to a2billing. Will be working on separate PHP/HTML client interface (through a2billing database).

simple app which takes icons, groups, coordinates from plist file and displays it on UIMapView, in another tableview you can show/hide groups of annotations. All there is left to do is populate plist to something useful.

Had a TV lying around in bedroom, so did setup a CCcam card sharing on home server, bought a Linux Dreambox 500 and wola browse different channels on both TV’s and no extra fee to SKY. Also shared with a friend later over internet.

Apple appstore SEO for now is all about cramping keywords in your app name, adding related popular apps in your app description. App store search suggestion gives priority to no of times app downloaded.

Created PHP script which will create a new wordpress autoblog for you for keywords you want. All you need to give is mySQL database connection and FTP access. Blog posts are gathered automatically from various search engines (including google) from one single server and posts to blog using wordpress XML-RPC

had to replace my macbook air HDD, was giving me S.M.A.R.T verification failed error, was thinking to add internal 3g but macbook air is well packed. Custom smaller battery might give you some space.

PHP script which would parse any blog/news/article site and get the article content from it. It actually checks similar page to determine page header, footer, adverts, links (anything unrelated to article) and just gets the article.

Created xml feed for sports bets to be featured on main page, for flash using AS3. If no featured bets selected it should give you out most active/popular bets instead for each category.

very basic iPhone app wich uses safari UIWebView to display current BetJacks Sports betting for iPhone which is using apple’s pastryKit (not official) to make html5 look like apple native app (check help.apple.com/iphone/ on your iPhone device to see what i am talking about).

some of the work done on SEO for BetJacks turned out good, as we have crossed paddypower and many others getting into first 5 positions for ‘Online Casino’, ‘Online bingo’, ‘Sports Betting’ and various other keywords (on google.ie). Getting position Bing and Yahoo was way quicker and easier.

Posting poker tournaments, casino jackpots, horse racing results and various others on twitter using twitter Web API. And in windows you should be using batch (.bat) made cron (all cron executables on windows are worthless)

ABeta is a UK based bookmaker and distribute odds, also provides classic ASP for website, there were various things in classic ASP couldn’t be done easily, so had to use php ActiveX object for few things. as Abeta is not well documented and lazy, had to play around a little with wireshark to see how they send odds updates to send our own crawled odds for updating starting prices.

lost my backup drive and my old macbook, so this time used a custom server in remote location, and used time machine on remote drive.

Users could order the taxi on web and calculating gps coordinates from address (using google maps API) server will send pickup request to nearest taxi drivers. Customer gets driver details of first driver to accept the job, driver then picks up and finally reports job complete. this was a huge project including web based admin for tracking all the live taxi drivers, history of jobs and all. app also acts as a navigatior and can show you your jobs history. drivers can get scheduled jobs.

created a FireFox plugin which will save the passwords to OSX keychain tool instead of saving passwords in FireFox profile, by this passwords saved in safari and chrome can be used by firefox and vice versa, later i found there was already a plugin which could do that and bit better than what mine was doing.
