I've also started work on a AJAX-based platform (Web 2.0) for it, to update the news on the home page automatically, and also summarizing changes in story topics (if wireless is popular this week, note that,etc).

4. Getting your business online and making money - Creating a successful web site is a big challenge. How do you capture your market? What’s the best way to implement e-commerce? How do you find a vendor, or should you design it yourself or with employees in-house? How much will this all cost?

Please let me know what you think about it, or if you want anything like this done, it was fun so I would do it fairly cheap.

 

Biztalk - Sharepoint - CMS - These are 3 areas that I have been concentrating on lately. Please email me if you have any projects in these areas - or check out my resume.

I get emails and phone calls every day from headhunters looking to give me work (and I hate to turn it down), however sometimes I'm too busy and it's too far away.

 

tblurts.com - Keep watching http://tblurts.com/ - a new t-shirt site a few friends and I are doing. It's in the process of finishing, still needs some TLC, but it's getting there. We use Wordpress for the blog, and the design was by yours truly.

Graduation !!!!! - I've finally graduated from Pitt- I guess it's time to update the resume ;). Learn about the school I went to and the opportunities I had there.

Donny Kemick and I won an award for best presentation at the Penn-York Undergraduate Research Association, for a presentation on our work on steganographic content on the Internet. Read more here:

Detecting Steganographic Content on the Internet - the research paper I worked on with Donny Kemick, a fellow student at the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford, and was sponsored by Don Lewicki, a professor at the Pitt-Bradford, and director of the Management Information Systems program. Steganography is the art and science of hiding information by embedding messages within other, seemingly harmless messages. The Internet is said to be a storehouse of steganograpic material. Rumors persist that terrorists are exchanging messages over the Net by using steganography.

jcallinan.com/Blog - keep an eye on me, and see if I do anything interesting. This is my blog to help store my random thoughts and anything interesting I find. You know how it goes.

Portfolio - See some work I have done, and learn more about my capabilities - including web sites developed in ASP, JSP, PHP, Microsoft's .NET, and others. Then, if you want, contact me for more information. The portfolio uses Macromedia Flash, which I have used on many projects also. It's pretty fun to explore.

Resume - My current resume is available in several formats.

Publications & Software - Read some of what I have created for different subjects involving business in I. T., the Internet in general, issues in computing, and other topics. I've also included some applications that I have created that are available for free (as in Beer. The source for these have disappeared over time).

About Me - The obligatory 'About Me' section. You know it had to be here somewhere.

School - Read about the university (University of Pittsburgh at Bradford) I go to, and some of the unique opportunities I have had.

Old School - I keep everything, so you can find a lot of the things I worked on in the past here:

suburban - Many many years ago, I surfed the web for fun , and shared that fun with other people. suburban was my online magazine at the time.

The first jcallinan.com - This was when I was really into Flash, and includes the creation of the jcallinan.com caricature. There was a few more iterations of jcallinan.com after this, but nothing ground breaking. This one was the most fun. :)
