Timeline - 2006
The main project I have worked on during 2006 was the RuneHead Hiscores Catalogue. Since this is my largest personal project to date, the majority of my web development work now goes into improving this service.
In 2006 I also graduated from University completing a Bachelor of Information Technology degree.
November 2006 - Hiscores Catalogue - Major Recode
The RuneHead Hiscores Catalogue had been going strong for almost a year, but one problem is that some
features were running a bit slow. Therefore in November 2006, I decided to do a major recode of
the Hiscores Catalogue. This involved taking a different approach compared to the past code and led to a major
increase of speed for all the features of the site.
August 2006 - Redesign of WestScript:
I decided to redesign the entire WestScript site as I wanted a very simple design
and secondly I wanted to move the calculators onto the same design as the portfolio
itself.
April 2006 - Max Ranged Hit Calc:
Similar in design to the Max Hit Calc,
this calculator determines the Max Hit you can perform under certain Ranged conditions
such as Ranged Level, Arrow type, if you use Ranged Potion and whether you use the
Magic Bow Special.
February 2006 - Redesign of Skill Planners:
One thing I did not like about the old Skill Planners is that they did not quite
look as good as the Skill Calculators available at Tip.It. Therefore I decided
it was best to redesign the Skill Planners again. This new version of the
Tip.It Skill Planners is based on the Skill Calculator design and has a lot of
the same features that the Skill Calculators have such as show F2P or P2P items.
February 2006 - RuneHead Hiscores Catalogue:
After a new design of the memberlist system, I received a lot of requests
from clans wanting a memberlist. At that time I had to created a lot of manually
taking a lot of time to do for each separate clan. To make things better for
everyone I created the RuneHead Hiscores Catalogue
where people can register their clans themselves and have the ability to
customize the memberlist and other details.
February 2006 - WestScript:
After the release of the RuneHead Hiscores Catalogue, I decided to buy my own domain
and hosting originally with the plan for it to host the Hiscores Catalogue. Unfortunately I discovered that
the RuneHead Hiscores Catalogue needed a lot more power to run, requiring a dedicated server. Therefore
I used WestScript mainly for this portfolio and my RS2 calculators.
