damnit, what do you guys do when you think you get blown off?
i had a friend that was a programmer. i asked him to do a job for me, it was so simple that he didnt charge me.
now i had another job, much bigger and i definately wanted him to do it since he was good and honest before, so i hired him. now i know he has been working on it, i see changes every now and again on the site. but i cant get in touch with him for shit!!!! i have paid him half of money up front, but i dont want to walk away from him because i know he is a very good programmer, and i know he is working on it slowly. but i have no way to contact him. i email him and icq him daily, and get no reply. wtf? if you are the programmer (no i wont mention names) please contact me man! I know you are working on it, fine it might be taking longer than quoted, but this is rediculous! just talk to me, either tell me what the problem is and how much longer it will be, or tell me to fuck off and i will hire someone else. personally i see you are working on server, so i know you didnt blow me off, but my partner was under impression this would be done many weeks ago and he wants to know why i hire someone i cant even talk to lol so common, shoot me an email or icq please. :thumbsup thanks. PS. - sorry for not naming names, but thats because he is a great guy and doesnt deserve flames, i just really want to get in touch with him |
Prank call him?

i wish i had his phone though, i will be sure to get it next time so i can just call him up |
I had a designer do that to me on some bulk work that I asked him for. I could see him upload like a couple sites a day, he told me it would take him a week and it ended up dragging out to 3 weeks and he still wouldn't answer half of my messages.

see i really cant blame him for the timeframe, i did actually tell him there was "no rush but id like it ASAP" but that doesnt mean go take a month vacation and i see you when your back, lol |
i'm sorry i'll contact you now :(

shady people deal with shady people.

well this guy is alright, i dont really have right to be super pissed since we didnt agree on an actual timeframe, and i only paid him 50% (which is about as much work thats been done anyhow) but i want my last 50% of work done damnit! lol |
Quote:
I still have faith in him though. I just hope I don't need to bring dirty laundry to the boards, never have before.. I never want to either. |
You PAID someone without knowing a company or persons name and the city they are in?? :1orglaugh :1orglaugh
Watch that 70's show and listen to Red's fav name for everyone. :winkwink: |

but then i saw he was about half done, so i sent him half money. ever since then i dont hear from him :( but i do see him in there still working, just no actual contact and at an ungodly slow pace lol |
Read what TGF said Richie... KNOW who the heck you are sending the monies to BEFORE sending it, for whatever reason you decide to give them some. lol
He could walk away and you haven't a clue to nail him down? Our tech is a Brit, but we have his name, phone and address etc. ;-) As well as where he works fulltime etc etc etc. |

and the key is always have a hired hitman on the payroll incase the project is taking to long. :thumbsup |
Quote:
its not even about losing the money, i just want the damn job done lol but i will try to contact him now. |
always have a hired hitman
I don't need one, I have an old man with a wicked attitude. He equally hates most people. My dumb posts are for your entertainment Meta. ;-)P |

Sorry Metaboy... **IF** anyone from gfy actually talks to you, I'm sure they can vouch for me being all female. Just ask Amp, CD, va2k, Redshoe etc etc. But then you probably aren't able to talk to them eh? I don't really give two hoots what you think when you get down to it. lmfao You are nothing but a child to me. so go play with your tonka toys and leave the grownups alone, k?

i got this email from him on friday.
Quote:
so i replied that this will be fine, and i wish he would contact me on ICQ as i havent spoken to him in weeks. tonight is the sunday that he was referring to. lets see if it happens. otherwise i will request a refund since i am left with absolutely nothing, and have to hire someone else. :( really sad thing is that i trully like the way he does work. he really knows his stuff, and i was glad to get someone like that for my site. i supose like someone said above, i should have had a contract. i cant help but think the worst, that the job will not be done tonight. |
ya some of the coders from 3rd world countries are smart as fuck and can do some amazing things.. but their jobs have them working 12 - 15 hours a day for pennies.. i had a coder do up some vb forms that were insane.. started taking along time and i was like wtf hurry up and then he showed me the coding and my jaw dropped open .. shit i've never seen or never will know what it does in vb

tick tock my friend.
2 hours left before i request a refund and contract to a new programmer. if you are still on the job, hit me up. |
Quote:
Just a thought, :) |
never pay upfront

i sent him half the money, it was promised weeks ago and 2 days ago or whatever he says he is sorry and it will be done sunday night (tonight) i have not heard from him since, and he has not responded to email or icq since. what do you mean exactly? |
as i said above it is not so much the loss of money, but the loss of his services.
i really liked the way he worked on our first item, and he is a really cool guy. you all know how hard it is to find good coders nowadays without them being some basement script kiddie. as well, this has held up all of my arrangments and my partner is fucking pissed at ME (since it was my responsibility) |
Haha, I think you might actually be making this shit up as you go along.

I don't believe you. Post that you sent money to the programmer. It seems to me that you that you are making shit up. |
