YouGetSignal.com is a collection of network tools that I started
working on in late September of 2007. The name of the site,
YouGetSignal, is a nerdy play on a line of broken English from the
infamous "All your base are belong to us"
cut scene. YouGetSignal originally started as an effort of mine to
learn the latest web development techniques. Consequently, the site
employs several technologies to function, including:
- Cascading style sheets (CSS)
- Asynchronous javascript and XML (AJAX) requests
- JavaScript object notation (JSON) responses
- An open source relational database management system (MySQL)
- A server-side cross-platform HTML embedded scripting language (PHP)
- The script.aculo.us and Prototype JavaScript libraries
- The Google Maps API
Ultimately, my goal with YouGetSignal is to
contribute a set of useful tools to the global Internet community.
I am currently a student studying Information Systems at Brigham Young University
in Provo, UT. I have always had a fascination for technology. I find it
remarkable that we have such easy access to tools that allow us to send
information around the globe in less than a second! As a web developer,
I feel fortunate to benefit from the work of the thousands of engineers
and programmers who have created the technology that I use every day.

All of the utilties on YouGetSignal.com are available to you for
free. I would be ecstatic if you would like to make a monetary
contribution to the site! Any funds I receive will be used to pay for my
web hosting bill, my course textbooks, and other school expenses.
