Web Sites

This is also known as "GaMerZ HomePage Version 3.0", but I have renamed it to "Lester Chan's Website" as I want my readers to focus more on my real name rather than my alias. It took me about a year of testing and planning to migrate from version 2.0 to 3.0, as it involves a lot of changes. The most significant change is the upgrade of WordPress 1.5.1 to WordPress 2.5.1.

Before version 3.0, the site is built independently of WordPress, and hence WordPress is integrated into my site framework. But as of version 3.0, the site is built around WordPress, and that makes upgrading WordPress and maintaining my content easier.

Lots of AJAX and Javascript animation are used in version 3.0 with the help of jQuery.

This site also makes use of several of my popular WordPress Plugins like WP-Polls and WP-UserOnline. There Archive Page and the Search Page is custom coded by me, and hence they are not available.

All the icons used in this site are by FamFamFam's Icons.

Many friends I knew are using Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet to keep track of their monthly expenses. This method is both time-consuming and prone to errors. I created this web application to automate the process of tracking their monthly expenses and added some nifty features. It is free for everyone, all you need to do is to register an account, and you can keep track of your expenses online.

I had served my national service, and it is based on a shift system (mount, dismount, training, standby). Thus, I created this schedule calendar to find out a specific shift on a particular date. It saves me time because I only need four steps to get what I want instead of looking through my marked calendar.

Inspired by Windows Explorer, I decided to create a web-based windows explorer to browse the directory on the webserver.

After two years, I finally decided to give my homepage a facelift, the colors used are more vibrant and looks much brighter than the previous version. I also updated the blogging system from b2 to WordPress and created a couple of WordPress Hacks like wp-polls, wp-stats, wp-online, wp-members, wp-search, etc. to boost the functionality of the site. I have also updated the Gallery Viewer and Image Viewer to version 2.0, which is coded from scratch, and thus, it is more efficient. The whole site now runs more efficiently because all of the pages are also coded from scratch.

Technically, this website is an assignment for my WEBP module during my first year in Singapore Polytechnic. It just started with HTML pages, as that is our requirement. After getting my grades for this module, which is a distinction (AD), I changed the whole site to make it more dynamic using PHP but still retaining the same layout. When some occasions came like Valentine's Day, Christmas, and Chinese New Year, I would change the layout color and the header to reflect the event. The two colors that I used are blue and red, as shown in the screenshots.
