Software by Chris Lundie

The following web sites and applications may have changed significantly since I last worked on them.

• Ganaraska Systems

  I worked with Ganaraska Systems on their GMS software, a solution for grain elevator management.

• Horizons of Friendship

  I created the Horizons site with PHP-Nuke in 2001, then re-launched in 2007 with a Wordpress design. Some custom programming was required, like making the old article URLs redirect to the new ones.

• Measuredmarkets

  The Measuredmarkets “Early Warning Service” tracked your stock portfolio and issued alerts when it saw unusual activity. I was hired to implement the entire process. This included two major projects:

  • Back-end process: Several C++ apps load today’s stock market data into a MySQL database, and run statistical calculations on the past 4 years of data. I wrote one Perl application for a task that did not require high performance. All of the back-end software runs once a day, after the stock markets close.
  • Web site: Investors can create accounts with this PHP-based site and access detailed reports for every stock on 4 markets. The site is integrated with WorldPay, who processes credit card payments.

  The live site ran on the Unix-based FreeBSD, but everything is cross-platform and works on Windows and Mac OS X.

• Ohpan

  My second iPhone app was created on contract for a client, AType Studios. Ohpan is an innovative news reader that finds articles and other kinds of media by automatically learning your preferences.

• Desktop client for Muiso

  Muiso was a service that remembered all the music you listened to, let you give recommendations to friends, and more. I wrote the software that runs on your PC or Mac and plugs in to Windows Media Player, iTunes, Winamp and several others. There was a Windows version written in C++/ATL, and a Mac OS X version, not released, written in Objective-C/Cocoa.

• Four Counties

  I built this PostNuke-based site to help federations of agriculture in the province of Ontario, Canada.

• The Concert Hall at Victoria Hall

  I moved the Concert Hall’s events calendar into a custom PHP/MySQL system. They could log in from any browser and update their content in seconds.

• DowntownCobourg.ca

  The Cobourg Downtown Business Improvement Area used this site to plot the progress of a major reconstruction project. I built a searchable index of all downtown businesses. Members could log in and manage their own listings with no HTML required. Administrators could manage the events calendar and all content on the home page through a simple browser interface written in PHP.

• Canadian Association of Internet Providers (Members-Only Area)

  I built a searchable index of each member’s details, where they could be downloaded directly into any address book that supports the vCard format. Members could share files by uploading them directly from their browser.

Free Software

Here are some Windows applications that I created for my own use. You may find them to be useful as well. Source code is provided for most of them.

• Fwink

  Free software for your webcam.

• ClearType Setter

  A tiny, invisible Windows XP/Vista application that enables ClearType when you run it.

• Sermonex

  Extract audio from Windows Media video (WMV) files.

• MailTend

  Check your POP3 email with this handy Windows application.

• PureServ

  Keep separate display settings for each user of your Windows XP computer.

• IP2Clip

  Copy the computer’s public IP address to the clipboard.
