Contractor or contracting firm needed

[Sporkman]

My client needs some electronics done for a project I've been working
on. Quick turnaround required. Need someone who can do some PIC
processor programming and power circuitry design. Those familiar with
self contained devices especially needed. Battery types
(advantages/disadvantages), charging considerations, supercapacitors,
switching power converter circuitry, etc..

Those interested contact me directly. You can find a valid email
address on my Web site, or just unMUNGE the email address in the header.

What's the rate?

Seems that you want quite a lot, and hopefully are willing and able to
pay for it.

Good advice, you should take it yourself!
You screw up and blame others...... ech!

So, when are you going to tell me where I can get some RGB LEDs for $.71
ea?

I told you where to get Red Green And Amber / yellow LED's a
hundred for $1.95, you decided you wanted something else.

I also told you where to get Blue Led's for $1.25 which is the
best consistent price I have seen unless you want more than 10,000
at a time.

wonder you do not get any results..... Tough!

By the way, I get 35% of my bids! Many are repeat customers!
Currently working on equipment for the AirBus A380! So I am not
available to bid. Waste of time.... Your too cheap to hire good
successful people.

Sound familiar? . . . (clip) . . .

I think it's clear there's no need to bother Mr. Clarence Albert, or
bother your self with him. Peace of mind and Usenet browsing is more
valuable and useful than anything he can or would tell you. A killfile
is a beautiful thing . . .

Since he Plonked me, and I really like that idea, now I can say
anything about him I like.

SPORKY is trying to hire someone to do what he can not at a really
low price. Doesn't know how to find qualified consulting firms
and is only bottom fishing for the skills he doesn't have.

This guy is bottom fishing for CHEAP engineering labor. Before
quoting, get a detailed specification which calls out the test or
criteria for the close of the contract. Do not accept a general
statement of his "needs!" The rate to him should be $75 or more an
hour, do not quote less, but get the payment placed in bond, I am
sure he can figure out a way not to pay if he thinks his needs are
not met. The same applies to his customer, birds of a feather
etc!

BTW I had one customer stiff me to half the contract (got that as
progress payments) on the excuse that they decided to finish the
project in house. (It was done and tested when I delivered it for
final acceptance testing.) Go with Bonded payment in escrow!
Safer!

As in most consulting/contracting and even direct employment scenarios
the rate is what we have to pay to get the job done properly and on
time. But within reason, of course. I doubt if my client is interested
in paying, say, $150 an hour (just to name a fairly high figure), but if
he can't push his schedule back then $150 an hour may not be out of the
question. As in most things, the answer is not a simple figure, but is
based on a lot of variables, including how many responses we get and of
what quality they are. But hopefully needless to say, if we had already
found it easy to get the right people or person I wouldn't be posting
the requirement on Usenet. Actually it's quite easy to get people
interested . . . but people don't necessarily follow through as they
should. We've already had experience with two entities who basically
said "Yeah, we can do that, and in a hurry, too", and then they didn't
do much of anything at all worth much of anything at all, which is why
we're now behind schedule. Do us (and yourself) a favor if you're like
that -- don't respond at all.

$150 an hour is NOT a high figure. In fact it's pretty typical!
(I usually bid $175 to $200) So you say this guy is bottom
fishing?

Also: If he is YOUR client, I'm not interested, since there is
always an additional mark up and screw-up's in dealing with a
intermediate! You become an obstruction to getting the work done!

So you do not understand HOW to arrange a contracted task?
Revealing!

There is NO markup. I'm happy to get a qualified person directly in
contact with my client and have them deal directly. But your rate IS
VERY high compared to most others I've ever seen quoted, and I've seen
quite a lot.

So you do not understand HOW to arrange a contracted task?
Revealing!

I understand very well how to arrange a contracted task and have been
doing it successfully for quite a while now.

If others drop the ball the blame is on them. At any rate, your
services are obviously no bargain at ANY rate. Your negativity is
revealing of an immature personality, no matter what your skills may be.

I told you where to get Red Green And Amber / yellow LED's a

I know, but I made clear what I was talking about before you even
responded. You then tried to make an ass out of me, over the price that
I mentioned, by talking about RGY LEDs. I guess the simple fact is:

You screw up and blame others...... ech!

Sound familiar? After that, you then said:

"I don't use many tricolors, but when I bought the last lot it was $.71
each.
I have no idea what they sell for now!"

So I repeat, where did you buy them?

I also told you where to get Blue Led's for $1.25 which is the
best consistent price I have seen unless you want more than 10,000
at a time.

I certainly don't recall that, but I didn't ask for any blue LEDs
anyway.

http://www.jameco.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10001&catalogId=10001&productId=117227

They are $0.24 each now.

You couldn't look them up for yourself?

RG at least. What do you mean by RGB?

I could have found those all day, but I need RGB.

RG at least. What do you mean by RGB?

R(ed)G(reen)B(lue) all in one housing with either common anode or
cathode (usually). By varying the intensity of each color (via PWM), a
virtual rainbow of colors is possible. You know, just like a TV does.
;-)

Kingbright, Lumex and others make them, but they are expensive. I just
got a couple of Lumex ones from DigiKey for ~$7.00 each. They are
sometimes called full-color or full-spectrum LEDs. Please look before
leaping next time.

I told you I bought "tri-Colors" But there were RGY.... Your
problem, not mine!
