AJAX and User Interface wizard needed

twiggy — Sat, 09 Jun 2007 19:20:17 -0800

Note: This is volunteer work with revenue potential. You've heard this one before, but come to me for more details and I'll explain my idea to you and you may just agree with me that there's serious money to be made. I'm a programmer. I could do this stuff myself. However, I work a full time job, and I'm also not spectacular with making things pretty, graphically. I've put some time into developing the idea, but spent $0 because I have a mortgage to pay. I'm looking for someone else willing to dedicate some time to something that might just take off and be something amazing. What I need: A whiz-bang AJAX developer capable of making really great UI functionality that works in both IE and Mozilla. Safari would be great too. If you've seen things like iGoogle's drag and droppable components, NetVibes, etc, you know what I'm after. What the project is: See my MeFi profile for a glimpse. There's way more ideas behind it than just what's there, but that'll give you a general idea. In a nutshell, I want to give people the ability to tie all of their different internet presences into one place. Compensation: At the very worst, I could provide you with some perks such as space on my colocated webserver so you can host a site or two. It's a LAMP server and I'd be happy to install any fun toys (within reason) you want. At the very best, the idea is executed well, takes off, and a company is formed. You're hired on as lead interface developer. You're given a significant share of any ad revenue taken in by the site.

PHP/Database Programmer for small hobby site. Amateurs welcome.

Faint of Butt — Thu, 25 Jan 2007 04:51:11 -0800

I'd like to change MicroHorror.com over from its current primitive HTML-based form to a sleek new database, in order to make it easier for me to update and maintain. Unfortunately, I am sorely lacking in the requisite programming skills, and require assistance. All I really need is the database. I don't mind doing the grunt work of transferring all 150+ stories to the new format. I just need someone to show me how. Please note that this is a hobby site and makes no money. I can pay a little, and I'll be glad to discuss the amount with you, but I just can't afford professional rates. Maybe you're an amateur working your way through PHP for Dummies, or maybe you need a few sites in your portfolio before setting out into the real world. You're the kind of person I'm looking for. Help a guy out?

Any AIX Gurus Still Out There?

Liosliath — Fri, 19 Jan 2007 16:05:30 -0800

We have a client running a billing system (GPMS) on an old RISC6000, AIX version 4, and we need someone to create custom reports that export the data in some format that can be utilized by them later.* I know enough (from working with AS400 stuff) that I've been able to do most minor maintenance for them via smit, but this is a bit beyond me. The position could be done from anywhere, and would be paid via a 1099. * It's because their contract with the vendor, IDX, is finally up, and the software/hardware will be removed this year.

Contract-to-perm Web Programmer (.net preferred)

Sangre Azul — Wed, 29 Nov 2006 11:19:41 -0800

I've got two job opportunities - you may apply to one or both. short term: Contract work. We need a kick-ass .net (flavor up to you) and SQL web programmer to create a few large, CMS-driven sites from scratch. You are welcome to bring your own libraries and user controls to the table. Work starts immediately and will be enough to keep your attention full-time for at least 4 weeks. Documentation and scope established, look and feel done & sliced - we just need you to code, code, code. Project Manager is a former developer and will help get you up to speed. Telecommuting is fine, being local would be awesome. long term: Contract-to-perm. Any language/platform (.net/SQL preferred), we want a superstar developer to lay down a foundation for a future programming department. Establish coding standards, create libraries, and help develop a core suite of CMS tools. You'd be working with a team of folks on project planning and scope, and with gfx/HTML/CSS people on final production. We are nice people in an established webdev firm, if a little overwhelmed by the amount of business we have recently attracted. Shoot me some of your work and a bit about you to get the ball rolling.

A client of mine is looking for someone who is experienced with data extraction, transfer, transformation, cleansing, other normalization based on target specs, loading into other formats etc. Their description of the gig follows. - nonmyopicdave --------------------- We rely on Filemaker now and have some tools (Filemaker scripts) already built, so it is definitely helpful if the person is an advanced Filemaker user. If opportunities exist to find patterns and automate these processes more, they will be encouraged. They are not bound to Filemaker--any other method is acceptable, e.g. Perl/PHP and mySQL, provided it gets us the results in comparable time. Windows and MacOS platforms are available for use. Should be able to work with both formal and informal ways in which data is provided (for example soft instructions about a group of data needing to be taken care of in a certain way over the phone, or a bunch of excel sheets that have all the info in there, but not to spec, etc) Knowledge of image processing, different image file formats and running scripts and actions (photoshop based) is a definite plus, though not required for the short term.
