Must have knowledge of both Vista 64-bit and Linux, Cygwin in particular, and an ability to create a web-based service.  Sorry I can't be more clear!  Expect to sign a confidentiality agreement  before getting more info.
thanks,

General Software Discussion / Re: Programmer Wanted for Project

The Word doc format may run you into problems.  The server would need Word installed to be able to use the Word API to look inside to get an accurate word count

Mmmmmmaybe, maybe not.  Third party tools exist that parse, manipulate, and display Word documents without needing Office.  The TX Text component is one I've used with great success, for instance.  But it ain't cheap.

Yowsa!  Certainly ain't cheap.  Maybe its paste in text to get word count, and attach .doc or .txt or even .pdf file or any MS or OpenOffice format to get translated if you want formatting maintaned?

My wife does translating; I need an html/php [or whatever] that will allow someone to:
1. Upload their file to be translated in .doc or .txt format.
2. Count the number of words.
3. Calculate the cost to translate based on normal or rush service.
4. Carry that cost through to paypal.
5. Make sure the project cost is paid.
6. Send the project to her to be translated!
I have web site hosting with all the 'normal' things someone would expect, at westhost.com in case you want to take a look at what they offer.
Any takers?  Please email me at johnf@ friedson.org [take out space].
thanks,
jf

Is there some way to turn off the info balloons that keep popping up? They are distracting...

General Software Discussion / Program Idea - Control Use of Web and Computer

« on: June 23, 2006, 06:49 PM »

I have a 12 year old addicted to the computer in general and the net in particular; I'd like to see a program that would allow me, as a parent, to control both.  There are a couple to be found under downloads.com, but the reviews they get are poor, and the programs themselves are expensive.

Here is what I see:

Kid Time Control - controls total computer time per day and/or per week, allow extra time on weekends and holidays or specially designated days.  Time not used one day can be 'saved' for another, if set that way in options.

Kid Web Control - controls access by browsers, chat, and messaging programs, but allows updates by antivirus and antispy programs if at all possible.

Kid Total Control - does both of the above!

any takers?

John
