A year has passed since everything in life seemed to be too complex and difficult to tackle. But things do fall together, eventually, and I managed to get the projects I needed and the help I asked for.
Now, it’s time to clean up the store and move on. Expect the best! I do.
Thank you all.
I am a freelancer. I’ve been one for years and I do like to be so.
However, somehow lately I do have a lot of customers. Projects. I think this *crisis* or recession, or whatever!, brought a lot of opportunities for “hard-core” coders.
So, I have been asked to resolve a lot of “issues” in existing systems and applications, whereas in former years I was ignored or plainly turned down (mostly cuz I was deemed to be too “senior”! – read, “too expensive”). The thing is, I KNOW HOW TO DO IT. 
Do you, also? Well, then, you can partner-up with me in some of my projects. Customers are cheap, they are desperate and pay around 15 EUR per hour. It’s good enough to pay the bills, and, when too many projects are coming at the same time, why wouldn’t I share ‘em??
I guess the point is easy to get 
So, are you a “coder”, someone that can handle this?
- Websphere (JSP/Themes/NavigationModel… (any of WAS, WPS, WCM…))
- Lotus Notes !!!
- Believe it or not, if you can also copy+paste some Javascript and CSS stuff (intelligently)
- RoR!!
- of course, PHP 
and, God forbid!, PERL
- and MySQL
- and some DB2, you know, lot’s os IBM custs…
- NO TIBCO!!! — well, if you can do some JMS, it will help here…
- Of course, knowing some Java will help. Definitely. The OOP stuff does count. No worries about EJB’s, one can learn them, right?
- Ah! and Eclipse! Let’s put it in, it’s not a forgettable item!!
- And, of course, you must understand that RAD is Eclipse, right? No steroids there, just plugins, addons…
- NO NETBEANS!!! (LOL!, just kidding, of course Netbeans is fine! Or vi, or joe or whatever you feel like – even Emacs qualifies!!! …) (( or ed *grunf!*) ((.. or “cat >yourfile”…))
- It will be a MUST that you can connect, use SSH, and it will help loads that you know what the heck Subversion is. Yah. We don’t use Git.
Anyways, I do hope you got the point. I need help from people that understand what I am talking about and can be professional about it – and deliver!. ‘Simple as that. And I will pay 15 EUR per hour. Cool?
Just to close this: This is serious, and no irony or sarcasm here. I am indeed posting for professional, paid help.We will discuss conditions and other details if you actually feel you are up to the task and reply to my rept – and if you qualify.
Unless you spam or insult me, you will get a reply.
Thanks.
Yours truly,
-Sergio
