Programmer Alert: Experience Coder Available for Projects
Hey-o, GFY. I'm sure most of you know me, and for those who do, you know I don't usually take on new clients. I'm offering a VERY temporary opportunity for someone to have me do a project (specific project for specific rate). I need to replace my computers (OS X Mountain Lion does not love my 2009 machines), and I'd like to do some coding to absorb this expense.
Please contact me or post here, and I'll quote you on any PHP or site work you need done. Once the computers are replaced, I'm back to not taking coding jobs again, so if you've thought about working with me in the past and I've refused, now is the time. My expertise is in building massive networks, but I'm happy to look into anything you might need. |
You should really listen to the commentors on your blog post: http://edgeprod.com/blog/46/coding-sample/
You are really appending data to a non-declared variable. The $returnText variable inside the getHelloText method doesn't use the class scope. It uses the method scope. To make it use the class scope you'll need to replace $returnTex by $this->returnText.... oh and before appending data to a variable, you must FIRST set data to it. Also, instead of returning the Exceptions in strings, you should probably learn to throw Exceptions. Would make your code easier to maintain... Your class member ($returnText) is also public. That is a mistake, right? Anyway, good luck finding a project. Gotta love code hackers. |

And thanks for the well wishes! :thumbsup |

Code:
public $returnText = 'Hello World!'; // Stores the string to return |
Updated the coding sample for 2012 (damn you, WordPress, all my pretty colors and formatting went away). It's been a long 3 years since I wrote that!
Credit given to isteve for giving me the inspiration to go a-fixin' in the code. :) All comments on the blog deleted to reflect the changes. |

Again, good luck finding work. I'm sure someone will be very happy to hire you and get their project done. |

because "Hello World" is super secure data , that if fallen into the wrong hands could very well end life as we know it on this planet.
fuck off steve :2 cents: :thumbsup good luck with getting a gig edgeprod |

I've gotten some ICQs and some interesting stuff so far. Working on something I've never tried before right now, so that's always fun. Plus, I like the guy, so it all works out. Quote:

One contract done (thanks mate!), hopefully more to go. :)
|
bump because I have never seen anyone do a "Hello World" class before :helpme
. |
@edgeprod - I've got two projects in line. I've added you to ICQ. Please get in touch.

Ahah love the fact that you credited me on your post. Bump for that hehe
Looks like you are finding some gigs here... great to hear this! Good luck - what computer do you want to buy by the way? iMac? |

Definitely getting quality gigs. Two completed already, and closing in on a third. Prompt payment, too .. can't argue with that! I need to do two things, computer-wise: #1, I need to replace the video cards on my Mac Pro desktop. It's a 2009 model, and Mountain Lion is doing the kernel panic thing several times per day. It's DX11, my cards are DX9, and every time it calls a function that doesn't exist in the reference driver, ker-splat. Cards are $200 or so, and I have two of them (four monitors). I'm not a fan of the iMac, probably because I have a wall of monitors. Second task is to replace my laptop, which is an aging Acer. I bought a Macbook Air, but it died within a month. This time, I'm going to go with a Macbook Pro and hope the results are better. |
Coder question on open source... how fast can you find the solution?
Mediawiki latest version, how can you remove the "page history" from footer links? The answer is not monobook.php |

actually doing second look in skins/MonoBook.php you cant alter line 213 to remove footer links u want |
an alert A

but includes/skin.php and skinTemplate.php are base template classes which you could technically alter also and I guess is more of a hacky way of doing it and would probably have universal effect for any skin you used. In includes/Skintemplates.php it sets footer links you could probably comment out. Starting on line 360 if you //'viewcount' it will get rid of the view count, or you can comment out credits, etc. I think technically altering that stuff should be done in the skin file but whatever It doesn't seem that dealing with the skins is something particularly simple to the average user or in general. |
good luck man...

U know Java?

The earlier versions seems simple. Line out or delete it in 1 file, monobook.php. I have latest version using the blue skin and absolutely cannot figure it out. There are all kinds of posts on *how to* but either they don't apply to my skin or I can't understand what they are talking about. Quote:
I tried everything you wrote and it doesn't work for me. Oh well, this is about Edgeprod and buying a computer, not mediawiki. |
Great job fucking up his thread. :1orglaugh

Well, I saw that it was awful close to the bottom of the page and my fingers just couldn't resist hitting the reply button.

Although we may not be the biggest fans of each other, I took a quick look and this should work: - Open SkinLegacy.php found in the includes directory. - Change line 299 from this: $element[] = $this->historyLink(); to this: //$element[] = $this->historyLink(); Keep in mind if you have cache enabled, the change may not show up right away. |
I have a pretty major announcement coming tomorrow about this: hint, by strange coincidence, I am now going to be available full-time, not just for these little projects. For all of you that have reached out to me and I've turned you down due to the exclusive contract I've been in for years, that contract has now expired -- this is your shot.
I'll be making a full post about it tomorrow ... I'm still in shock at all the things I'll be able to build now that my restrictions are lifted. |
better to be put on retainer?

Sorry you got screwed. I made the mistake (LOL?) of actually demanding to be paid after a year of free coding, supporting users, and selling the software. You likely got a prototype version of the code that was used for internal testing. The production (hosted / rails) code is much different. I never gave him an uncompiled source of the frameworked code, either ... so he basically had some shitty prototying functionality, which got wrapped into a pseudo-application. |

/app/ --/Controller --/Model --/View That'd be your clue as to which version. :thumbsup I'm glad you didn't invest too much time. Maybe we should resurrect it? Actually, maybe we should FINALLY work together on a project or three. Let's chat about that ... I can crank out utilities quickly, and I am sure you can, too. |
Resurrecting the project really depends on who owns the actual rights to the code and the name...might be better to just start over. I'll hit you up some time - right now i'm having a kid in a couple of weeks (or days, who knows...) so gotta see how that all plays out.

I meant making a NEW version of a tool that had some of those elements .. I'd never want to build off of the "old" code .. it's just that: OLD. I'd love to work with you in the future, though; I've just been too busy. Now, I have time. Speaking of which, I need to go make a thread about that. |
I got an awesome and overwhelming response to this thread (requests are STILL coming in), and I'm happy to have finished so many quality projects. I didn't get a chance to make the other thread (where, obviously, I'm also now available full-time), but I haven't forgotten about it, either. It's coming -- eventually, LOL.
