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?

funny.

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.

what did you end up doing about it?

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.

:xomunch

a contract would prevent any misunderstanding you dumbfuck

Got ahold of my people in Jersey and now he's like Hoffa bro.

..I currently have a few bad thoughts about a coder I hired in june, haven't been able to reach him in a while...

is he on a project? or just idle waiting for a project?

:1orglaugh

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

The project was due july 1st, then july 22nd... then, I don't know.
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:

I also paid upfront in full, but I have his details. :)

the deal was i pay when he is done.

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.

gemini you didnt say something stupid for once, i agree with you 100% i only do work with people that i have known for quite some time.

and the key is always have a hired hitman on the payroll incase the project is taking to long.
:thumbsup

you are right, and i should have gotten his contact info prior to hiring him.

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

Since June!

deep down i am in love with the fact i know you are a woman.

NO
:1orglaugh

I really need the script done.. and I can't afford to hire another guy now....

I hate it when that happens.

I've got a guy that will sub the work out pretty cheap.

His phone works and e-mail works.

e-mail me if you're interested I'll get you details.

darren @ marketingfirm

funny how similar our situations are

So true :thumbsup

go buy a gun and post pics of it, maybe he will get the hint

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.


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

some high tech shit like that :helpme

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.

You might be more creditable to the ?newbies? and others if you post a payment receipt (50%) to the programmer before threatening.

Just a thought,
:)

never pay upfront

i dont understand?

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.

wtf?

what have i got to gain by making up shit like this? lol


:321GFY

send him a pic of juicy

You love drama?

LOL...

Do a search on you! If you can't figure it out, please post again.

:1orglaugh :thumbsup

you people are super starving for drama tonight i see, lol

beleive me, if no contact is made tonight, or payment is not refunded in a respectable timeframe, you will know who he is.

he is poster here on GFY also


until then ... :Kissmy

You are entertainment for us.

Nothing you say is for real. You proven your point many times and we laugh at you. Sorry to be mean but as a businessperson you fucked up. Shall I continue?:)

do what you like, wont make a horses ass worth of difference to me.

tonight i may or may not get fucked out of money, i may or may not have my site ready to roll, and i may or may not tell you the entire story.

but either way, nothing you say will make an ounce of difference to me or my business, lol

now go back to being a nobody, stuck in the shadows.

:glugglug

i.e....when rich gets fucked or calls someone out,everyone laughs..like the boy who cried wolf
