About
Charles W. Frye Charles Frye (Chuck) began like many
programmers, in the early late 80's and early 90's, before the
internet revolution, goofing his autoexec.bat on a 20 mb hard
drive 5 1/4" floppy disk DOS boot systems or playing with
his Commodore 64 or old Apple IIe. Chuck began PERL
programming in 1997 and has programmed many systems including
online tournament ladders, gaming databases, university level
online training centers, post secondary educational online
training centers, and many other websites. He has managed
UNIX, Redhat, FreeBSD, and Windows based servers. Although no
longer a full time programmer and webmaster, Chuck decided to
put his skill to use and design a program built by and for
umpires. Talk with GSJUA began around June 2008, with Chuck
offering to maintain their website and build an online db for
GSJUA. Chuck's goal was to create a complete umpire management
system. There are many "officials dispatcher"
programs on the market. These do a job, and they do it well.
They send officials to sites to work games. Chuck was thinking
in a different direction. Chuck wanted his program to be
specifically geared toward the complete training and
management of Fast Pitch softball umpires in GSJUA.
Programming the database began in earnest in July 2008, beta
testing and continued revamping/building in September and
rollout and first use for actual tournament assigning on
October 16, 2008. The online system continues to be revised
and expanded.
