This is the second major version of PocketPC Pathways. We have increased the capabilities of this website so much and we hope you enjoy all the power at your fingertips. Don't forget to leave feedback in our communitie forums because we would really appreciate this. Adding features will be much easier in this new version and it is a joy to fulfill the needs of our users. At the moment, we are trying to get the new site working well and we will add more to this message as time goes on. The new site was officially launched on June 22, 2005.
My other involvements
I have used my perl experience to write quite a few different sites. PocketPC Pathways is by far my greatest creation, costing me hundreds of hours. Among this, I have made a flashcard site, full game site (similar to Jeopardy), lyrics site (which I stopped development on), an eBay services site that I used to use to help manage my auctions when I was selling lots of things, a dedicated poll application, and a few other smaller apps. The nice part of knowing perl is that I can make programs that are easily accessible from anywhere. Since I do not yet have computer programming experience, perl works well for me.
While I have never offered my services, I would be happy to discuss custom scripts. In some cases, I may offer to write scripts for free because I would have an interest myself. Otherwise, simple trading deals would probably work. Feel free to contact me through the link above if anyone is interested in having a custom script written.
(previous version)
My name is Ben and I started making this site one the late evening of Thursday November 4, 2004. The idea of creating a site devoted to excellent reviews of the latest products and software had been constantly going through my mind for over a month because I had previously written a very long review for the HP iPAQ HX4700. The address to the iPAQ review kept getting passed around all over the internet and I ended up with around 15,000 unique hits when I began making this site. Javoedge sent me an email asking if I would like to review one of their new cases and this was on the day I started the site. Luckily for me, I didn't have school the next day or I probably would never have started this site. The following day, I spent most of my free time working on this site. After that, whenever I had some free time, I would do little pieces and add features to it. The point at which I considered the site basically complete was on the evening of Monday November 8, 2004, which is only 4 days later. It is obvious that I have not really stopped adding features but this date symbolizes the point at which I didn't have any problems that needed to be fixed (that I knew of).
