Hi,
Mmmm... that's the dream of any programmer. The problem is that most of the time we have the ability of doing a very good job, but.. we are stupid people that doesn't have "contacts"... so we need to work for somebody that has no idea at all about software programming and that's all  .
I have thought a lot of times about becoming a freelance, and now I'm thinking seriously about that, but the more I think, the more I realize ( at least here in Spain), it's quite difficult to get clients and to get money from them .
Maybe we should make an "school" to make programmers learn about the hard stuff... getting "contacts" .
Bye
Braulio

Just released new forum app on my site programmingtutorials.com[^] written using ASP.NET (C#). Not much to the forums right now as far as functionality but any feedback as far as bugs, ideas, or suggestions is welcome! Thinking I would obviously need some sort of search as number of posts grew past my limit of 20 on datagrid paging?

it looks nice!
perhaps add a date based selection..

Hi!
I and a friend of me, developed a software for searching duplicate entries in a database.
If you want to check your DB  (and help me with the development ) please mail to me.
the app dont install enything to the windows folder, it need the MFC42.dll and GDIPlus.dll. the zip is about 1MB big.
if you test it, and have a question about how some part works, just ask.
the software is (for now) in german 
|
|
|
|
|
If someone want to test it, but cant read german, I can translate it.
|
|
|
|
|
I'd be willing to test, but I don't have to many db´s that suffer from duplicate entries.
Youcan ping me at hauptmann at yahoo dot com.

Ok before I ask anyone to help out with the game I'll just outline what has been completed so far.
Login, signup and travelling, battle engine has been completed.
The whole database is text based, 100% customised and has 16 bit encryption. Even the files are encrypted. Everytime a person logs in, signs up etc, this is decrypted using a key which is automatically generated. This is for security etc.
The travelling around involves this kind of process too.
The battle engine is text and is created in VBscript. With a few more modifications it will be ready.
----------------------------------------
Ok, so what I need help with.
I'm looking for a coder who is willing to help out with this game. Modify the battle engine and create a gym so players can begin playing.
----------------------------------------
Now what it is:
Its an online RPG. Medieval based. A player goes on quests to be the number 1 player and ranked in the areas available.
----------------------------------------
As you can see, this is already a very sophisticated game and it has only begun. I'm asking for another coder because my friend was coding and I was just giving him ideas and creating the basis structure of things as I'm not a strong coder myself. He couldn't continue due to personal issues.
I can't give much in return other than a free domain hosting(doesn't include registration). This incluse 100mb space and 2gb transfer. But CGI,PHP,MySQL (only what the server supports). If I ever do intend to make some money, for servers predominantly as the bandwidth will probably shoot through the roof, I will gladly give some to you. To ensure I'm not ripping you off etc, just make a tracking system of profits/members/total. That way, you get everything you deserve.
Website has already been registered too.

I'm just tossing a thought out here...but it sounds like the legal and logistical issues of forming a virtual company would be a nightmare. So, why not form a co-op. Build a centralized branding and location for customers to find one of the co-ops fine contractors.
Each contractor subscribes to a certain set of business rules set forth by the co-op and a such is autorized to do business under the group's branding. Behind the scenes, the co-op members, contractors, however you want to put it can "hire" each other at a set rate agreed to by the group.
This will give you the power of many under a single umbrella, plus you can share your work load with others. It will also allow folks to take on larger projects than usual. It will let the individual contractors keep there own business separate from the larger entity for legal or whatever other reasons too.
I have a larger vision in my head, but have to actually organize it a little better if people are interested in listening.
I'll add some more to this post in a little bit. I need to run and take care of something urgent at the moment.

Sounds ok to me. One practical issue, that I would like to be addressed, is a possibility for members to make investment in the Virtual Company in the form of time and hours, instead of in money.
More ideas:
- a way to control that all work that is done, has some minimum standard.
- use of only one programming language (c# ?) as a way of simplifying communication and administration.
** will add more later**

I agree with the part about allowing members to make a non-cash contribution. But, putting down cash forces a commitment. Frankly, right now time is about all I would have to offer though.
And there would have to be standards. Standards on conduct, business practices etc.
I don't think you could confine it to a particular language. You could probably confine a particular project to a language. But, I'm new to the development community so I would not be a subject matter expert.
I also think it would take out some of the appeal. If you have a diverse group of experienced developers. The whole team is more appealing. You could feature a strength like .NET development. etc. But still offer other services.
One of the challenges would be how to handle customers. A potential customer in Germany for example should be hooked up with a German developer. That person could act like a general contractor for a construciton project. The only issue would be how would you compensate the general contractor if he/she was acting as a proxy for say a developer in the US.
write more later...

The general contractor would get paid directly by the customer, but how does he compensate the other members that has contibuted to the project? My idea is that he would pay by helping the others when they need help in some project. At some point we would need to start doing real money transactions but in the beginning we could do like this, or what do you think?

Well to be honest, I think that would be a starting point, in terms of helping others. Digging around, I think some groups similar to what we are talking about exist -- rent-a-coder type groups. Not sure if any exist yet where you barter time.
Let me state first, I'm not meaning to be negative. I’m just looking at things from a pessimistic, yet realistic, angle.
There are problems with bartering for services. Unlike bartering for goods, there is no tangible exchange. In other words, you are not trading apples for clams. So people tend to evaluate how they fulfill that barter agreement based what their needs are. Not the spirit of the agreement. This is not always the case, but I will provide a case in point below.
Lots of things are done on barter agreements in the radio broadcast industry. Thus the phrase radio stations are often, “Trade rich and cash flow poor.” Normally these agreements work out because the stations trade air-time – a non-tangible product – for goods and services by advertisers – often start-ups – without much capital that couldn’t afford to advertise otherwise. When trading for goods, this usually works out for everybody. However, the times when radio stations usually get burned are when trading for services.
For example, WXYZ is approached by start up ISP and web publisher X. They strike an agreement that WXYX will run 100 ads a month for X. In exchange, X will design and manage the station’s website. Since WXYZ’s traffic and billing process is mostly automated X’s ads run almost unnoticed -- faithfully. X keeps up its part of the agreement until X starts to get busy with paying customers. These paying customers start to take control of X’s attention and the level of service provided to WXYZ drops and drops until the station’s needs start being ignored. Of course the story ends differently in each case, but it almost always ends the relationship badly.
This scenario has been repeated dozens, if not hundreds, of times at radio stations here in the US alone. I can see this pattern playing out in the proposed co-op as well. Perhaps not with the frequency that I described in the radio business, but it will happen if no tangible product or financial exchange occurs.

That Co-op idea sounds pretty good. It will be a lot of work but I think we could manage it.

Bad idea, why limit what jobs can be done. Do you really mean that under this "umbrella" only projects using a single language is accepted.
Then it's going to die soon.

Do you want to invest cash into the company or just your time?

Funny reply to what I wrote 
Right now I dont know if I will invest anything or even be a part of it. I'm interested, nothing more, I dont know enough to tell if I wanna invest anything more that writing this...

It was not a reply. All this process would just be much easier if people would say what they like, instead of what they don't like.

Well, if you dont want anyone to critisize your ideas, then I'll just shut up and leave the discussion!
