Projects - Past and Present

Those projects listed here were either developed for internal purposes, or in association with clients and partners. More details on these works and further examples are available on request.

fotoLibra, A new kind of Picture Library

Working with the world's premier online picture library / stock agency to create an online marketplace for image rights and prints. We've worked closely with fotoLibra to create a business class environment for them to do just that.

   

The funtastic features added include comprehensive image archiving and display routines, prioritized boolean search, colour search, DOI automation and a series of accounting and process automations.

Coliseum, Collaborative Contact Manager

Creating a collaborative tool for keeping track of contact details seemed like a whim at the time. After a series of refinements however, the Collaborative Contact Manager was redesigned as a communications aid for medium to small sized companies with a need to keep track of 'who', 'what', 'why' and 'when'.

   

It features not only contact listing and an interactive communication history, but also advanced searching and scheduling facilities. This application was designed with simplicity in mind, and can easily be extended to meet an individual set of requirements.

Legends, The Game

This futuristic game is the result of years of on / off work from tens of skilled developers from around the world. Some of the Pzenix team were first called in to prepare the game for its initial public debut.

  

Over the years, we have had significant input on the development of the game and its community. During our time with this stalwart team, we also shared and learned an immense amount about the nature of scalable, performance oriented inter-networked applications.

Phonetica

This phonetics module is a series of functions around a phonetic progression dictionary. It creates strings that are easily pronounceable in a multitude of languages, and can validate input strings, finding any difficulties or ambiguities in pronunciation. The result allows for smarter password creation, written speech filtering, the computer generation of a spoken language, and the creation of a fun and ever original speed-reading tutor.

CSSopt

This application was used as part of an internal course to teach efficient use of CSS in a website. It optimizes CSS data in a multitude of ways, making it smaller, easier to read, and improving browser compatibility.

SnoopY

This is a series of Python scripts designed to piggyback on the google search engine. It collates data, determines relevance by cross-referencing data in matches, then presents a number of the most relevant characteristics, and an indication of the number of documents that also share these traits. This helps in determining the truth (or - more realistically - common conception thereof) in documents parsed by google.
