Hi
The date of discussion of this is approaching (Oct 22th).
"this"? What is "this"? How is being lazy with request for help going to
help you?
Please download the documentation, test the source code, see where
changes would be useful.
$120/hr after $25000 retainer fee (just kidding, it actually would cost much
more or maybe it's not even for sale, so I guess you're just gonna have to
figure it out on your own).
Thanks in advance for your help.
Hey, if you want/need charity, don't try to hide it in technological
bullshit. Who are you appealing to? Aren't you insulting the participants
here? There are at least a few "heavy hitters" here (OK, I just assume that,
and don't know that), and they let you hit on the babies like that?
There is still time to withdraw from the presentation. It would not mean
failure. Indeed, wouldn't it be great NOT to have to "present to the class"
when you know you need more time to find the answer? The thing is, this
isn't high school. It's the real world. What worries me is that you are
positioning this CCL thing as "this is it, then I'm done". I see your foray
into the area as a learning thing and you want to "get the gold medal" after
learning the basics, or something. Like the undergraduate who discovers soon
after graduation that she is not only not an expert after the 4 years of
matriculation, but that she is just at level 0 now. "The rude awakening".
It's not an age thing, I'm not calling you YOUNG. I UNDERSTAND your <> "to
be compensated". No one knows what you want. That you ask others to "help"
you, gets my dander up, because I am sensitized to that "I want something
for nothing" crap. That "I want something for nothing" crap, ... well don't
even get me started in this thread and you should be honing your
presentation. Has anyone seen your presentation? (that means, a peer, not
your wife!)?
Oh wait, if he retracts now, some burden is potentially on me, because "you
talked him into it"?
JN: NEVERMIND!! Is this exactly what that "crafty little devil" JN had in
mind? Did you?
I remember when I worked at a bank and I had "subordinates" and I gave a
similar "speech", and then, come Monday, I stood at the front of "the class"
and put forth my thoughts on matters. After I was done, giving my spiel, and
introducing "my subordinates", she gave her "spiel". I found myself "boss"
(with a lower-case 'B'). Touche, she knew something I did not. Yep, she was
competing with me. "All's fair in love and war", right? She had "paid her
dues", in the bank for maybe 20 years, it was surely her "turn". She had
detailed knowledge of banking, and had noticed that someone else who had
that had "risen to greatness" within the company. I was a new hire, new
little about banking (and many other things), but I was hired to <>... the
bank was taken over by another bank after she successfully got me out of
there (I was fired). I was hired to save someone's foray into software
development. I had actually interviewed to be on the development team years
earlier. It was revealing to see the outcome without me. It was crap. Just
like your CCL is crap. Been there, done that. No one really wants
consultants, they just want to be in business. Jacob, tell me, if I were to
offer you a job as a programmer at my company, would you take it? It's a yes
or no question. Why/why not?
