Originally CJ was a Javascript driven program that used custom web pages stored on local hard drive. With its release and resulting popularity, the demand for more power was needed. The program was re-written in Visual Basic. The power in this program is internal and its known to be the most powerful sniper to this day and it is over 4 years old!

Auction Sniping has become a household word to online auction enthusiasts around the world because of this program. It was the first program to ever automate bidding while you were at work, playing or sleeping. It is one of the first third party programs to ever interface with a website without using an Internet browser.

This was my first Visual Basic program. In fact, I learned to program VB with this application. I would not use this program to judge my current programming skills. My first database is in this program is quite basic and is nothing to brag about. I present it because it is my flagship program and its made me well... lets just say its my highest grossing program.

There are thousands of copies of this program all over the world and it still sells today!

Cricket Power Chat was written to interface with Ebay Cha Boards and targets those chat board users that make heavy use of one or more chat boards.

The Ebay chat boards are static and while allowing HTML in a post, one had to know HTML to present formatted posts. In addition, an Ebay chat board displays 200 posts at any given time making it difficult for a user to keep up or review a chat session with any one person.

CPC pulls down the chat board and re-organizes it. The program presents the board  in such a manner as to make a power user out of a neophyte! Posts can be tracked and one can be alerted to key words. The end user can switch between three modes. They can lurk, chat or read the whole board. The application also writes HTML for the user. The end user can create templates and styles to which they can dress up their posts.

When the Ebayla Virus was discovered (Malicious JavaScript that could steal ID's and Passwords) on Ebay, Power Chat users were immune because I had written an algorithm that would strip out scripts and optionally report to the end user the use of a script in post.

Introduced in 2001 by another developer and purchased by me about six months after its initial release. Safe2Bid interfaces with Ebay. 

The former developer didn't realize that program's that interface with another's site require regular maintenance when something the program depends on is changed on the site. The current Safe2Bid look nothing like the original. I spent 6 months re-writing it while dramatically increasing its abilities and power. 

The program assists in Shill Bid detection, reports on Ebay user reputations via their feedback ratings given to them by other users. The program has an all encompassing FeedBack manager that with one click of a button could theoretically leave millions of feedback for other users.

Shill Bidding occurs when sellers or friends of seller bid up an auction posing as a normal bidder. Safe2Bid uses pattern matching to isolate bidders with patterns known to shill bidding.

This program was originally created in early 1998 and then shelved due to popularity of Cricket Jr. I had been looking at 'shelved' programs and noticed that I had nearly completed the program! I spent a few weeks on it re-writing code that was obviously from my beginner years, gave the program a face lift by incorporating the new XP look along with a skin feature.

The program creates custom collections of webpages. With a button click a custom browser is launched and the collection of webpages are loaded all at once. Interestingly programs similar to CMB exist today while none of them handle the pages in the exact same way, none of them either date back to CMB's creation date. This is what happens when you get so busy you can't kick out all your better ideas for the world to try out!

Nobody knows Sniping like I do and I was dubbed the Sniper King by Time Warner's ON magazine. CJ 4x has been over a year in the making and is a closed beta right now. It is the do all and everything sniping bid management program.

This program is where the boy programmer and the man separate. No longer a single exe this program introduces several of my own custom components including DLL's and Active X controls designed to do specific jobs. Completely compartmentalized CJ has much more powerful snipe engine, parsing engines to name a few. GUI issues were addressed with a custom control that drops down in a child window offering the end user complete control over each replicated snipe engine. I can't talk much more about this program for proprietary reasons but I can show you a few screenshots of the Alpha.
