Frontline Fabrication’s New Website
Feb0
Frontline Fabrication is a fabrication shop in Morgantown, WV. It was started by Andrew Kisner in 2009. Recently, I have been working on getting a website built for them, with pictures, products, services, and more.
This week, we have added the ability to buy products from the website. This is a slow roll out of the products they offer, as we get more pictures and such. The first product is a 2G DSM Rear Differential. Keep an eye on the site, as we roll out the ability to order other products.
Tennis on Campus Counter – XML Style
Jan0
When I first started Tennis on Campus Counter, I put the scraped information into a comma separated for processing by the PHP scripts. This changed a few days ago however.
I recently dug deeper into the world of XML and started to think about how it could be of use to me. In the past I had always used XML for something someone else started. After I thought about it, I realized that TOC Counter was the perfect place for this. As such, I set about converting it to XML.
This ended up being a very simple process. The PHP parsing code is also now cleaner. Overall I was very impressed with how handy XML was.
Check out the end product: http://www.petederemer.com/toc/schools.xml.

Tennis on Campus Counter 2.1
Nov0
Following the 2.0 rewrite of the data gathering tools, I am ready to release TOC Counter 2.1. This release does one major feature and several minor ones. Check out the list below for more information.
- Schools by state. The scrapper now pulls in what state each school is in, allowing us to put together some comparisons between all of the states. Data will start coming in 12/01/2009 with state information, and at that time you will see the new state information and statistics.
- Chart size adjustments. The charts have been widened and shortened allowing us to view them a little better
. - Individual Charts. Profiles now contain a chart of team number history if the team has any history of their roster number changing.
- Standardized Tables. All tables now look the same, and have the same sorting feature.
- Several bug fixes.

Also, There a lot of bug fixes on the teams list, updated teams, and new teams pages. Finally a few tweaks were included to make the data easier to read on the charts.

End of Spring Semester
May0
Well the end of the semester is approaching (tomorrow at 10am) and man I can not even begin to explain how much i need it. Between project classes eating up time like crazy, I have not have had much time to see just how much I have done this semester. Here are some of the highlights:
- Trying to get Club Tennis better situated to be a top 5 school in the section. It’s recruitment time!
- Winner of the Individual Sportsmanship Award at the 2009 Mid-Atlantic Tennis on Campus Sectionals
- Winner of the Team Sportsmanship Award at the 2009 Mid-Atlantic Tennis on Campus Sectionals (Yes, I won both! )
- Served as the league coordinator for Morgantown USTA Leagues. Attempted (But failing. I was close though!) to get Morgantown tennis more united… Guess there’s always next year!
- Started my “summer project”. More will be revealed later in the project. It is tennis related, and should be pretty epic. If all goes well, it may shake up the tennis world pretty good.
- Bought a car
- Pulled my first all nighter. (had to pull about 6 this semester)
- Was picked for the Webmaster position in the Student Government Association.
- Stepping up Club Tennis’s role at the Sport Club Federation meetings. (Ran for VP, but didn’t get it)
- First Tennis on Campus Mid-Atlantic Section Committee meeting
- Found another club tennis president who is also computer science major! (how rare!)
- I’m sure some other things that I’m forgetting.
Those are some of the highlights. I’m glad that the semester is over because now I can really focus on getting Club Tennis ready for the fall semester, where i fully want us to be much more powerful next year! I’ll also focus on my summer project a lot now. I really believe that it can change how things are currently done, and can’t wait to release it in a beta form later this summer.
