In the process of getting my new Joomla! based website up and running, I wanted to add a comment system. As usual, every free option available had it's own quirks. Some had visual issues, some didn't support threaded replies, and some had conflicts with other Joomla extensions I was using. I ended up liking the DISQUS comment system for Joomla! v1.1 by JoomlaWorks. It integrates the free comment management system, DISQUS, into a site's articles. While I did have to tweak my site template a bit to prevent its JavaScript generated content from drawing over my footer, it covered the rest of my needs.

After testing out the plugin for a while, I started to notice a large issue. Anytime an article was viewed with a different URL, it ended up using a different comment thread. In Joomla!, articles can be seen under different URLs for a number of reasons including changing search engine friendly (SEF) URL settings, recategorizing an article, changing your menu, or viewing an article split into multiple pages. Dissapointed to find yet another problematic plugin, I decided to find the root of the problem and fix it.

The RJ_Containers project is a reimplementation of the Standard Template Library (STL) container functionality. It has been architected for the needs of game development, but should be applicable to any performance critical or allocation sensitive programming.  

Spyborgs is an action game built exclusively for the Wii by Bionic Games. I started working on the game as a contractor to help finish the prototype in the fall of 2007. I then joined full time to create the full product for Capcom.
