EduVIP Client for Linux -- a PPTP/L2TP VPN Client with GUI
2007 -
Despite my ugly written code in Python and PyGTK, the tool was very widely used among university Linux users in mainland China during 2007 and 2010, as EduVIP was the main way for them to visit websites outside China. The program turns to a universal PPTP/L2TP VPN client after EduVIP stopped selling its service since 2010. Project page(Chinese only).

Some other utilities, especially Chinese-specific mini-tools(such as a MP3 tag encoding converter), can be accessed by my Google Code page.

A School Alumni Site
2005-2006
(Discontinued)
A full functional alumni website written in ASP from scratch during my high school years. Although not maintained since 2006,
this is my first attempt to build a dynamical website. Web frameworks were not popular at that time,
so the authentication system, database design, UI design and coding are all done by myself.
The site was equipped with many modern features, such as photo and files uploading, discussing board, voting system, personal messages, e-mail notification, etc. Techniques updating partial content was also introduced before AJAX becoming popular. But it naturally got discarded by users after social networking websites such as Facebook and Xiaonei(Renren) became popular. Although no more maintained, the site can still be visited here.
