Seeking Talented Perl/PHP Programmer (Paying $1,000-$1,800)

[tylercruz]

Note: We're looking to pay between $1,000 - $1,800 for this project. If things go well, we always have projects that need being done and could engage in many future projects together.

To contact me, please e-mail [email protected] (do not PM me or reply here!).

We have a fully functioning website with custom programming that we wish to add new features and improvements to.

The site is programmed completely in Perl, and most of the code is well documented throuought and easily structured with modules and a templating system (HTML::Template). The site design is very clean and is XHTML and CSS valid.

We are looking for a programming company that will be able to provide high quality programming and be able to comform to valid XHTML, cross-browser compatibility, and keep any new code well commented and "clean".

Below is an outline of the 8 features we wish to be implemented on our site. For more detailed information on each feature, please e-mail [email protected] (Do not PM me or reply here!).

Please note that while the following list may appear overwhelming, the existing site is very well structured and should provide a helpful framework to work with.

1. Featured Networks Advertising System (Medium Feature)
2. Universal Member System (Major Feature)
3. Member Commenting System (Major Feature)
4. Improved Voting System (Medium Feature)
5. Front Page News Area (Minor Feature)
6. Templated/Custom 404 Error Pages (Minor Fix)
7. Network Details Placement (Minor Feature)
8. Search by Name (Minor Feature)

PHP may be used for new areas/modules for various features, although it would probably be simpler to stick with Perl.

The time frame for all the projects should be completed within a month, and in the order given. The changes should be made on a mirrored copy of the existing site as to not cause any issues, and then replace the current site once approved by us.

Preferably, each project could be done one-by-one on the test site and then moved/transfered over to the existing site once approved.

Do not do business with this person. The person was all ears until he found out that I have a female coder on staff and then flipped out saying it was nonsense for a woman to be coding. I blocked and deleted from my msn. I don't deal with morons or total idiots. Females are known to be more analytical and are just as capable to code as any man. This person disgusted me to the fullest.

I've never met anyone so quick to jump the gun... we were joking back and forth throughout our conversation on MSN, and so I continued by jokingly commenting on the fact that his partner was a female programmer:

6/28/2008 5:18:04 AM Tyler - 24601 [email protected] In the forum description i mean
6/28/2008 5:18:09 AM [email protected] Tyler - 24601 yeah
6/28/2008 5:18:14 AM Tyler - 24601 [email protected] Ex. Front Page News Area (Minor Feature)
6/28/2008 5:18:23 AM Tyler - 24601 [email protected] That's really just taking the latest 5 titles from Wordpress
6/28/2008 5:18:27 AM Tyler - 24601 [email protected] thats ALL it is
6/28/2008 5:18:28 AM Tyler - 24601 [email protected] heh
6/28/2008 5:18:51 AM [email protected] Tyler - 24601 LOL
6/28/2008 5:19:02 AM Tyler - 24601 [email protected] the biggest tasks are the membership creation
6/28/2008 5:19:34 AM [email protected] Tyler - 24601 Well let me read this and also pass it to one of my partners and we can get back to you later today witha quote
6/28/2008 5:19:35 AM [email protected] Tyler - 24601 Yeah
6/28/2008 5:19:42 AM Tyler - 24601 [email protected] Sure
6/28/2008 5:19:55 AM [email protected] Tyler - 24601 Does nto sound as bad as I expected though
6/28/2008 5:20:07 AM Tyler - 24601 [email protected] Yeah
6/28/2008 5:20:34 AM Tyler - 24601 [email protected] And if you see the code/site, it's not too bad because even though it's fairly involved, it's really 'clean/organized'
6/28/2008 5:20:55 AM [email protected] Tyler - 24601 That is good, messy code annoys me. lol
6/28/2008 5:21:01 AM Tyler - 24601 [email protected] As far as your turnaround time question
6/28/2008 5:22:06 AM Tyler - 24601 [email protected] I'd want all the tasks to be done in around a month's time, although to be honest I don't see it taking that long. And I'd like the advertising system feature to be done first as I have a number of advertisers wanting bad to advertise
6/28/2008 5:24:20 AM [email protected] Tyler - 24601 Ok great Also my lead partner will ask me, will you have any problem with laying a 33% refundable deposit if we come to a contract?
6/28/2008 5:24:41 AM Tyler - 24601 [email protected] refundable deposit?
6/28/2008 5:24:58 AM Tyler - 24601 [email protected] If we go through an escrow service I have no problem
6/28/2008 5:25:05 AM [email protected] Tyler - 24601 Yes, a retainer fee. If we fail to performt eh work, you get a paypal refund.
6/28/2008 5:25:08 AM [email protected] Tyler - 24601 Ah ok
6/28/2008 5:25:15 AM [email protected] Tyler - 24601 That works too
6/28/2008 5:25:27 AM Tyler - 24601 [email protected] I'm quite well known in the industry though
6/28/2008 5:26:06 AM [email protected] Tyler - 24601 Ok sweet, let get some shut-eye and this afternoon I will talk to Kate over this and see what kind of offer we can make you.
6/28/2008 5:26:18 AM Tyler - 24601 [email protected] what?
6/28/2008 5:26:20 AM Tyler - 24601 [email protected] a female programmer?
6/28/2008 5:26:24 AM Tyler - 24601 [email protected] nonsense
6/28/2008 5:26:33 AM [email protected] Tyler - 24601 Are you serious?
6/28/2008 5:26:44 AM Tyler - 24601 [email protected] ?
6/28/2008 5:27:35 AM [email protected] Tyler - 24601 Um, sorry I don't deal with the ignorant. Have a nice day. She is one of the most famous coders on the web. Your loss.
6/28/2008 5:28:09 AM Tyler - 24601 [email protected] I was joking, but I can see you are overly sensitive so I guess this wasn't going to work in any case. Thanks for your time in any case. Cheers

I blocked you before the last message. I am sorry, but even if it was a joke, not funny and unprofessional.I asked if you were serious and all I got was a question mark.
