What Can You Get For Under $100?
Posted by Andy Sjostrom in "OFF-TOPIC" @ 08:07 AM
I subscribe to a daily developer newsletter that contains information about projects that companies and people seek developers for. Most often the projects involve Web and database development. I enjoy reading about what people are up to, but this newsletter has really become a great source of humor. Read on the see what some want for under US $100! This is just a small sample!
November the 24th
"What I'm looking for is a complete client/project/accounts/invoicing application I can use to track who my clients are, what they ordered, when annual payments are next due, invoices sent, outstanding payments, payments made, payments outstanding etc. I've attached a diagram in PowerPoint that I did a while ago to plan the eventual database and what is required, but it is incomplete. The successful bidder will demonstrate a complete understanding of my requirements (which will be clarifed by email corresondence) and provide suggested ways of optimising the database. Additionally, the successful bidder will provide HTML forms to host on an Intranet that interact with the dtabase and provide HTML reports for invoices outstanding, domains due for renewal, accounts, bank balance etc. by date. When logging in, outstanding payments and domain name renewals due for payment in the next 30 days must be notified to the user. The successful bidder will not offer a solution based based on components - it must be native ASP code for use on IIS without .NET Bidders will quote for a solution that initially uses Access, but must be scaleable to MS SQL via an entry in a config. file. All instructions for upscaling Access to MS SQL must be provided. HTML reports must be customisable via the use of templates. I also need to know what reports you can/will provide from the database. Please note that whoever submits a bid and gets the job, we will not be held to ransom and feel obliged to pay a bonus payment. What you bid is what you'll receive - a fair payment for a fair couple of days work. Source code changes and database to be sent daily."

"Good Flash developers wanted. Id like to develop educational flash games for kids. I need good artworks that kids will like. And good suggestions are always welcome."

"Hi everyone. I'm looking for a chatsite script that is similar to two different websites online. One of them is dockwave.com I've created a test account so you can go there and login and see what it does. Login is 13535 password is testing. Basically its an html chat room with a guestbook concept. Each member has their own account - and is allowed "avatars" of a certain max measurement to be uploaded to their account for their usage. With a difference between public and paid accounts. ie limits are imposed on paid accounts. The rooms themselves are multiple in nature. Can have private rooms. And all rooms can be moderated by a user with a certain status - moderator most likely - to be able to ban someone and or close rooms if necessary. Another chatroom to take a look at is the-pork.com Login brat password testing."
I know that it's free to ask... but this is funny, in my opinion! :lol:
