@Rarst I just don't do it. I turn down clients that want hourly rates. I prefer to do daily rates to get enough info to accurately estimate a job, then fixed price + contingency
@kaiser I am not saying that this is normal situation... but every day there is someone there with desperate need who is looking for big/specialized brand to fet it done and fast
@kaiser just keeping conversation going... there are a lot of financial "levels" in this stuff, so what seems hilariously high (low) for one person is daily norm for another
@PolluxKhafra I normally don't take big projects from people that I don't know in real life. And even if I would do that (for a startup having a genius idea for example): What would be my problem? I've their idea, the finished code and would just have to run it and destroy their business with an earlier system, before they could.
Plus: When you did work with clients (in whatever industry) for some time, you get a feeling if people want something really and are able to pay. If not, you just stop contact.
@kaiser probably because rather than maximizing amount of money I am looking to minimize amount of bullshit (I had couple lifetimes worth in education system)... doesn't work out well so far :\
When the next mod election comes and people are pushing me again to "go mod", then I'll "go god"! Man, how much will I love those remove and delete links ;)
I just moved a BP install to my development server. They're running Buddy Press. Each screen is flooded with errors like this: Strict Standards: Declaration of BP_Core::setup_globals() should be compatible with that of BP_Component::setup_globals() ... I've never seen an error like that, what does that mean? Is it a Buddy Press fault, or can I correct this?
@matt how would I know the comments are from another page from seeing result? never mind... shouldn't be complicated but I don't deal with comments much
The reason for this is I need to have a popup on approved comment submission, the only way I have managed to get this to work is to have a redirect when a comment is submitted, then on that new page a timed lightbox popup. For that reason I want them re-directed to a page that looks the same as the homepage, so when they close the popup they can read their comment.
I am creating a facebook app via wordpress but some how need to pull the comments off my homepage and insert them onto another page, essentially what I am trying to do is duplicate the homepage with a different url/page name. I have mananged to do so easily but I need the comments as well.
Thank...
I'd like to show post comments on their own page without the parent post. I know I can use wp_list_comments() on the single post page and pass a callback function to use my own comment display markup. I plan to do this so I can include a link with each comment that will show that comment on it'...
ya crazy, even this Recipe: cookTime, cookingMethod, ingredients, nutrition, prepTime, recipeCategory, recipeCuisine, recipeInstructions, recipeYield, totalTime
I guess they will simply add other{$stuff} all over and that's what people will be using. In 90% of all cases, where I looked at it, I simply didn't find a single case matching - aside from lastName and firstName,.
@Wyck yes, but I think these are the easiest cases (tightly constrained domains), and even then I'll bet it deals badly with disambiguation. However, I haven't really looked at this in any detail, and I'm just channeling my inner skeptic !
@Wyck I spent some time over the last 2 years working with a large scientific journal publisher, and they're heavily into semantic tagging. Horribly complex - I stayed well away from it :)
@Wyck re: schema stuff -- I know a lot of publishers are against implementing it. Why would a searcher click through to the actual site when the search engine can use the schema tagged data to extract and present the movie times, recipes, or whatever on the results page. You can already see it happening with movie times and dictionary definitions -- at least I do.
