As a full-time student with plenty of vacation time I'm usually able to do the odd-job here and there. Student loans don't pay themselves off. Also, I have a secret shame: my parents set up a little fund a while ago to put my tuition fee expenses in to, and I er... raided that fund, so I'm keen to get that account back up to level without them noticing.

epswing posted:If the crying robot avatar is any indication, pretty hosed. I've been a fan of Superjail longer than I've been a brigand to my parents. In reality the situation isn't that bad: a friend of mine had a cousin who was leaving the country and had a web-hosting business to sell (just a simple reseller operation, nothing serious). I was looking to expand my current hosting biz by integrating his clients with mine, however I also knew my friend was looking to establish his own hosting company too. I waged a bidding war with the cousin under the impression my friend was also bidding too and I didn't want to risk my friend winning. I was pledging money blindly and ended up winning (yay?) but drastically overvalued the company and it turned out that my friend decided not to bid for his cousin's company after hearing about pissed off former customers. I pledged somewhere around $4500 for the company, which was about 30 months' revenue (rather than the typical 18 months' revenue for business buy-outs). I didn't have the money on me at the time because I spent my student loan on buying more rackmounted servers for my existing operation, so I withdrew about $5500 from my tuition fund account thus accidentally overpaying the cousin by $1000.... and this was a year ago. I didn't get my $1000 back until this week when I threatened him with a summons when he returns home for his wedding. As for the projected revenues I had for the hosting company I was buying (which would have given me an ROI within 30 months): the cousin didn't even transfer his clients' PayPal subscriptions to my account, he told me to email them myself (in reality, the contract I had him sign stated that he would just give me the password to his paypal account, that never happened). Eventually schoolwork got in the way and I neglected to take care of my newfound business (so a good 160 people have been getting free webhosting for over a year now). Now, I decided to swallow my pride and start a partnership with my friend (who actually has a longstanding family grievance with his cousin anyway) and so he's taking charge of the business and billing side of things, leaving me to simply tend to the hardware and systems. This isn't an e/n thread, I know I made a mistake and I'm taking steps to correct it. Do I get a cookie? (though if anyone's interested in yet-another-goon's-hosting-biz then that's also welcome ; ) Hoborg fucked around with this message at 21:07 on Jul 21, 2010 |

Either one is way more than you should be gambling on it going fine forever.

Jabor posted:This, this a million times this. Or in my case, friends' family. I want to clarify my use of the word "friend" when I posted my sob-story: we aren't true friends, buddies, chums, whatever, we've always known each other around a business relationship. In 2007, a little over a year after I finished HS this guy I knew (who was a year younger than me) was setting up an IT services company in town and needed someone with my technical skill to do the occasional 'more demanding' jobs that he couldn't do. I didn't particularly like him much at the time (in part because of his background) but I grew to like him on account of the sage business advice he gave me in the years afterwards. I think "professional, friendly colleagues" is better way to describe our relationship than "friends". Everything I do with him involving more than a few hundred dollars requires a signed contract specifically stating intentions, goals, and responsibilities, we're both happy with the arrangement. He doesn't think any less of me for getting into this mess, and he's stepped in to help me get out of it. The situation isn't ideal, but it could be a lot worse. He isn't "helping me out of friendship", this is a formal business partnership and he stands to make a significant gain by working with me: I'm hopeless at dealing with customers and I wouldn't trust him with a Packard-Bell, much less a rack full of servers. Please appreciate that I can't describe everything that's happened in a forum post here, but it isn't as simple as "friend helps me out in dubious circumstances" that it may seem.

I was thinking of putting together a simple Canabalt styled iphone game, but I don't have any sort of programming skills (or a mac). So if anyone's interested in flexing their mobile muscle, shoot me an email at jhilburg@gmail.com. Also it'd help a lot if they knew a good pixel artist for the art assets, but I can always just find someone else separately.

I am looking at getting some bids for a project I am undertaking. I need to forecast a budget and am really not up to the current rates for hiring a developer these days. I have a template, created in Microsoft Excel, that I need replicated into a web site / database in Web 2.0 fashion. If you could email your rates and any possible portfolios/excamples of previous work to Kris at Kaperi dot com, that would be great. Let me know if you have any more questions or require any more information.

ex posted:I am looking at getting some bids for a project I am undertaking. I need to forecast a budget and am really not up to the current rates for hiring a developer these days. I was going to send you a PM, but I thought I'd give you some public advice instead: Designing a database from an Excel spreadsheet shouldn't cost too much; assuming it isn't that complicated (10 or less different entity classes) then I wouldn't expect it to cost more than a couple hundred dollars. Maybe add another hundred for the actual data import (if necessary). Most of the work would be in creating the user-facing application for the database. That's where things get complicated: You'll find some people, like me, who prefer to use frameworks like ASP.NET because it lets them get things done quicker (I reckon I'm about 3 times faster with ASP.NET compared to PHP, and I know both very well; note this isn't counting PHP frameworks like Cake), but then you run into platform costs (i.e. ASP.NET hosting fees are roughly twice that for PHP). Then you'll find people, often without any formal computer science background, who'll gladly do it for you in PHP, but there's no guarantee of a good quality product (I've seen as many bad PHP apps as ASP.NET, just so you know I'm being fair). I digress. Assuming this is a simple CRUD application with user logins, a reasonably good PHP implementation shouldn't take more than a week and a bit if your guy is working full-time, but up to a month if it's some freelance college student who wakes up at 2pm every day. It shouldn't cost you more than $600USD, maybe $400 if the developer is desperate, but I'd personally budget around $700 just as a means of attracting more competent people. I'm not going to bid for the project because I'm busy enough as it is (working with robotic arms is waaay cooler) but knowledge sharing is caring...

I'm looking to break into doing some music/sound for games, so I'm putting my availability out there to work on a small (preferably indie) project's soundtrack. This is primarily for resume building/experience so I'm willing to do this cheap or free, maybe in exchange for forum upgrades or something of similar value. Total workload should be around 6-9 full tracks (plus short pieces as needed) although if you're doing a larger project feel free to contact me anyway. I currently have no actual work released in a game, unless you count the games I've made myself, and I don't. That said I've been unofficially working on an RPG soundtrack (for another project of mine) so that's serving as my portfolio for now. Some examples: Battle theme Battle victory Some stage music More stage music Final battle Part 1 Final battle Part 3 (work-in-progress) If you want a less orchestral style I've done an Electronica album (samples on page) so I can work around what you need. All samples used are available to use in a commercial work without any financial liability (credit may need to be given in a few cases) or have been made by myself so there's no worries there. Licencing details can be worked out once we discuss the project in question. My style of work generally consists of a quick sketch followed by fleshing out the ideas, so I can quickly run by you a few ideas before it gets to the point where it's wasted effort if it won't work out. I currently only have a PC so I can't do any playtesting on Mac or any phones, so detailed descriptions/screencaps/videos of the game would be helpful.

Looking for a freelance dev that can create a simple web-based database for a client. I need a database built that can generate sequential job numbers and store basic information for these jobs (amount sold for, who it was sold to, etc.) and export this information to an Excel file for admins. It should have two tiers of users (2 admins and around 10 staff) that have different levels of access to these data. All users can input data, but admins can see and edit all jobs, staff can only see and edit jobs they have entered themselves. I'm hoping to integrate this into the website I'm building for the client. This seems like a simple task, but it's out of my wheelhouse and I'm getting frustrated trying to do it myself. Any method is fine as long as it works in-browser. PM me or send an email to firstdayback@gmail.com with a brief description of your qualifications, your projected cost, and when you can expect to have a functional model to show the client.

Some headsup: You can export to a CSV or some other text-based format trivially from any platform, but if you want to create Excel *.xls files then you'll be limited to Windows Server/IIS-based solutions because you can't instantiate the COM objects on other platforms. Things are different with the OOXML-based *.xlsx file format, but I'm not aware of any (let alone feature-complete) libraries for working with them on PHP or Java.
