New Portfolio

I'm trying out yet another new template.  I think I may keep this one.

I've also launched a new portfolio to replace my existing one.  It's a lot nicer looking now and does a much better job of showcasing my previous work.  Currently there are two sections: websites and software.
 
Simple CRM

I'm currently developing a Joomla! 1.5 component called Simple CRM (customer relationship management).

Originally I had developed a Joomla! 1.0 component called Freelancer (used on this site) for my own personal management of customers and invoices.

In an effort to learn about Joomla! 1.5 I have decided to port the self-tailored Freelancer component over to Joomla! 1.5 and make it publically available. The component will be a simple way to manage customers, invoices, and maybe services. On the frontend, customers can login to view their invoices. Invoices can be paid using PayPal and include full IPN support for automatic payment posting.

I hope to have a test release finished soon. The component will be available here when ready.

It also makes a point of offering phones and devices without contracts; while device prices are higher, it lets customers switch providers without an early termination fee....
