Weekend Project: Likelist.ca = About.me + Pinterest

15 Mar 2012

UPDATE: Source code on Github

Introducing www.likelist.ca. A way to share all of your likes and favorites from across the web. You can think of it like about.me except with your 'likes' from various social networks embedded on a Pinterest style page.

Planned Improvements

Infinite scroll, more services, pop out images for a larger view, user thumbnails, personal pages, visuals for tweets with no links and instructions :)

Unfortunately, Facebook doesn't provide a users likes without authentication, which defeats the purpose of having a public like list and Google Plus doesn't have an API for retrieving +1's yet.

rlcDB: Online electronic parts management

26 Jan 2012

Here is a preview of my yet to be released web app.

It is a BOM manager for electronic parts. Get it? rlcDB. I created it because I needed something that would integrate with my EDA tool, keep track of inventory and make ordering from distributors easier.

The way it works is you upload your BOM from your EDA tool like Eagle CAD and the app does its best to try and find the correct part. It then looks up attributes and gives you part numbers that you can paste in each distributors quick order form. It also shows you the cost/availability of each part from each distributor at the bottom.

Every time I think I'm going to release it I find a reason not to so I have no ETA.

Optimize your cell phone plan (Canada Only)

07 Jan 2011

Note: This is a very basic prototype and it not meant for consumers at this point and the pricing for the plans are not current.

A couple of weeks ago I was tasked with finding a new cell phone plan for a friend. The requirements given to me were 400 minutes per month, free incoming calls, free cell phone to cell phone calling within the same carrier, free evenings, free weekends and other stuff I can’t remember right now. Should be easy enough, right? So I started looking at the big Canadian carriers like Rogers, Telus, Bell, etc.
