I have been involved in several open source projects since I began developing. I appreciate the work that others do under the open source model and I like to release the projects I create so that other people can use them and/or learn from them.

I plan on posting source code here as I make various projects available. The first release is of my NCAA basketball pool web site. More projects will follow later.

The Droid’s NCAA Basketball Pool

Every year I run a large NCAA basketball tournament pool. Entrance is by invitation only and each bracket costs $3. This year (2008) I had 104 users and 271 entries. It is written in PHP4 and interfaces to a MySQL database. It includes a templating and skinning system as well as a script which downloads game information in real time and automatically updates the standings on the site.

The 2008 site can be seen here: http://www.uhlpool.org/

The source code and all associated files are released under the terms of the GPL. Unfortunately, this is the 2005 version as I haven’t made time to repackage the more recent releases.
