CLIENT:
Bible Explorations Inc.—Terra Bella, CA
SYSTEM: Website development and maintenance
WORK: Developed a custom website to manage presentation of this
non-profit organization’s information and to provide online ordering
and guest book capabilities. Microsoft FrontPage-2000 was originally used
to develop this website even though the web host, at that time, did not support
FrontPage Extensions (so it was limited to the capabilities of the FORMMAIL CGI). JavaScript and Jscript were used to provide extensive functionality on
the order page and on the entire site. Since that time, though, I have
converted the entire site to PHP/MySQL and added a custom, but simple, CMS
and Forum. Maintenance and requested enhancements are ongoing. (www.BibleExplorations.com)
CLIENT: The Museum Of Psalms—Israel
SYSTEM: Website re-development and maintenance
WORK: Client requested a complete refurbishment of their website to both create a more
professional-looking appearance and to increase the functionality of the site. As part of
that work, I added an interface to the PayPal Shopping Cart for credit card orders and I wrote a
JavaScript Shopping Cart for payment by phone or by snail-mail. The site is written for
IE6, NS7.2, and FireFox compatibility.
(www.MuseumOfPsalms.com)
CLIENT: Oaks Management Services,
Ltd.—London, England
SYSTEM: Website enhancement and maintenance
WORK: The client was able to do their own HTML design using FrontPage
2000. I was asked to code all the client-side JavaScript and
server-side ASP/VBScript needed to make the site function,
cross-browser, as the client had planned. This included setting up
an Access database and coding for server-side email and new HTML page
generation using templates, FSO, and JMail. All work was done from
within the FrontPage shell so as to be able to turn it over to the
client and allow them to manage it from site completion point on.

CLIENT: KSBN Safe Television—Springdale, AR
SYSTEM: MS-NT based PC network, MS-Office 97 & 2000
WORK: Developed a custom MS-Access Application to manage the TV
station’s videotape library. Visual Basic for Applications (v6) was used to
significantly enhance the standard ACCESS user-interface and to provide
necessary functionality beyond what ACCESS can provide by default. The application is
split to allow the back-end database to be placed on the server and to
allow upgrades to the front-end application without affecting the
user’s data.
Maintenance and requested enhancements are ongoing.
CLIENT: FOAMEX International—Ft. Smith, AR
SYSTEM: IBM-9406, OS/400, RPG-IV/ILE, DDS, PDM, SEU, SDA, RDA, AFP, EDI,
and JDEdwards
WORK: Perform day-to-day EDI (Premenos) technical programming and
problem identification necessary to configure new partner documents
and/or to upgrade existing partner documents to new standards levels
(including conversions for Y2K compliance). Write new online, batch, and
user exit programs and reports needed to support these EDI documents.
Other non-EDI programming projects were also assigned and completed.
CLIENT: Springdale Seventh-Day Adventist Church—Springdale, AR
SYSTEM: MS-Windows 95 & 98, MS-Office 95, 97, and 2000
WORK: Developed a custom MS-Access Application to manage the church’s
membership in a database plus other modules related to church
activities. Visual Basic for Applications (v6) was used to significantly
enhance the standard ACCESS user-interface and to provide necessary
functionality beyond what ACCESS can provide by default. Maintenance and
requested enhancements are ongoing. |

fax portions of a spool file from batch, (b) monitor system messages
with automatic notification via SNDPGMMSG and/or a pager, and (c)
evaluate relative dates (via a user-specified expression) to allow for
greater control of automated processes. |

(BITMAN, DTEMAN, HEXMAN, LIBMAN, NUMMAN, PRTMAN, RTCMAN, TXTMAN).
Successfully wrote an enhancement to (a) add IF-AND-ELSE-ENDINF and
WHILE-WLOOP-WEXIT-WEND structured programming constructs to Assembler
(published as a three-part series in the October 1991, December 1991,
and January 1992 issues of Technical Support), (b) interface a XEROX
