Doing it and doing it and doing it ...WELL!

We are back!

Fresh with another launch, A1Infrared.com is alive and kicking. After a little fussing with HostGator,

I believe that is unacceptable

we were able to get ionCube Encoder working. Yes, we do support open source, but our core framework libraries are not open source. So, we want to give thanks to HostGator for meeting our requirements.

In other news, we are moving strong with Lease2Buy, approaching the finish line. With the last cup of Gatorade crushed and dropped a few miles back, we are leading the marathon. See, most of the other web companies start off fast, but they're quickly wheezing in the back. Not us, not here at ProjectSkyLine. We set a pace and keep to it. In fact, we're starting to set a pace for a lot of *stuff* that's going on. We going strong.

Keep in touch.

Funnel of Love

Greetings All,

We recently dropped Mantis and the use of our own pCal and adopted SugarCRM. This contact management software includes its own bug tracker along with providing all the CRM features one could dream of. It is just easier for us to have everything in one central location (software) then using separate tools. Say hello to the new and rm -rf to the old.

How's the business:
Thanks for asking. We just landed an exciting job for Vaupell, who is a large manufacturing company with offices throughout the US. The branch we are working with specializes in rapid prototyping, stereo lithography and short run production. They also have a full machine shop for mold production. We are building an online quoting application that will allow users to upload .STL CAD/CAM files, select material type, finish and delivery time, then create a PO. Woah, cool right. Well that's not even the half of it. We've just started the database design and will be revealing more about this project in the coming posts.

TechTrax, what is that?
We should have our first articles in TechTrax, an online E-Zine next month, March. Ben, ProjectSkyLine's chief engineer is going to be writing a paper about common web-based application security problems which includes plenty of sample code.

RSVP Mash up:
Our RSVP software aka pRSV aka Project-Contact is nearing prime time. We've recently constructed our postcards that will be used in targeted mailings. We will also be doing a round of Google PPC advertising to coincide with the February release. We are very excited to be launching our first product. Project-Contact has some great features:

• Events created are given a unique URL
• Customization of events via HTML, color changes and company logo
• Events can have multiple sessions allowing users to choose whichever they please
• Event creator can export event data directly into Excel
• Attendees can import the event directly into Google & Yahoo calendars
• Plus a whole lot more
• Project-Contact Homepage

Procedurally Porting To Object Oriented (PPTOO, heh):
We've begun porting all our procedural PHP 4 & 5 code to OOPHP 5. So far we are very happy
with the outcome, which is making the code much more readable and actually creating less overhead in the main files, moving much of the logic to the library or support files.

We've been super busy working with some new clients on some possible great projects. Stay tuned for more!

We've moved!

Welcome:
To a new blog that is. After fixing a few bugs in bBlog (php driven) we decided we needed something a bit more secure and hosted on our live server, not the development server.

So we've switched.

For those who need access to the old posts source code, they are here now:
PHP/mySQL connect to a database procedure
PHP/mySQL query a database procedure
PHP/mySQL query database and return one

To whom it may concern:
For those that are new to us, ProjectSkyLine is a stable start up company that writes amazing and intelligent software. We can't possibly define 'software' without boring you to tears, so read up on its breadth at wikipedia.

Count up 'till now:
We've been very busy the last 3 months with all that encompasses a start up. Besides breathing life into PSL, our clients workload is immense.

Software:
We've recently released our very own pCal, which was an application written by Ben, our Chief Engineer, for tracking tasks and to dos across the company. FYI, ProjectSkyLine has offices in both New York and New Hampshire, so you can imagine minor details can fall through the cracks. But not anymore!

pCal is released as open source. We will continue to provide updates and bug fixes, so check the site often. We encourage those that find it use full to drop us a line, comments or complaints welcome.

Soon to arrive:
Our next software release is that of pRSV, which was designed for our client HHC Marketing of NY. HHC Marketing promotes for NY's hottest Broadway shows and off-Broadway events. They needed an application for clients to RSVP to events hosted by HHC. Our pRSV software takes care of creating the events, tracking the users RSVP, sending email reminders and even allows client data to be exported directly into excel or openoffice...very useful to HHC when constructing the final guest list.

Visit our products page to see more about the upcoming release.
