I took part in migrating this site from 32 bit ASP over to PHP running on 64 bit Windows server, cleaning up a spam-ridden database in the process, and handling the systems administration part of transitioning to its then shiny new server.

Being forced to handle the difficult relationship between Windows/IIS/MSSQL and open-source technologies cost me an otherwise decent professional relationship (in my defence I did warn about the feasibility of the project).

This was my last project having anything to do with Microsoft.

• 64bit Windows Server / IIS
• PHP / MSSQL + FreeTDS (say UTF-8..)
• cleaned up in excess of 3.5 million records from database
• developed additional PHP functionality in Code Igniter
• streamlined frontend code
• coded in Zend Studio
• project managed in Active Collab.
• versioned in SVN
