Project at Guru.com

Thursday, December 13th, 2007

Project “Finish to convert vb 6 to vb 2005″. Link
This is simple project, simple conversion.
Buyer send me VB6 source code.
I create 1st version in VB.NET.
From this point buyer constantly ask me to send him final version (without bugs!), BUT he don’t want to accept my bid.
I think he want VB.NET bugs-free product for free.
I don’t know too much about this buyer. Jamie from New Port Richey, FL - USA

Programmers from expensive areas dislike RentACoder too much

Friday, November 30th, 2007

This is my old post to DevShed forum:
“You are lie, RentACoder never send spam. This forum not exception. Programmers from expensive areas dislike RentACoder very much, therefore they think out fables about RACs.”

Let’s see who was disagree with me:
Adrastea0413 from Washington, DC Metro and medialint from “\\Firecrate\”.
Both gives me negative feedback and my account marked as “Grachyov Negative: is most likely a SPAMMER and a traitor to the cause.”
So, Washington and “\\Firecrate\” really expensive.

I am going to complete my 912th project. Via RentACoder.

Unprofessionals was banned from RentACoder

Tuesday, March 6th, 2007

There are many unprofessionals was banned from RentACoder.com

Some of them pollute Internet with “opinion” about RentACoder.com

They have personal failures at RentACoder.com and decide to take revenge.

Examples:

1. Arbitration results for Kamen Kaburov (Kamen123)

2. Arbitration results for Amir Ali Tayyab

My 80-day arbitration has ended today

Monday, October 2nd, 2006

Arbitration/mediation result

A miscommunication took place on this project. When raster (the buyer) tried to download and extract the files from RAC site and test the work, Win Xp compressor did not extract the files and it requested for a password to complete the extraction. TakeReal (the seller) alleged that they had not set any passwords on the uploaded work and they could extract the files properly. On investigation it was determined that RAC could download and extract the files properly. It was determined that raster could not extract them because of the long path they were using and win xp was showing the incorrect error. Hence this arbitration was concluded neutrally. It was also determined that 83% of the funds should be awarded to Takereal. All the remaining funds were refunded back to Raster.

——————————————————————————
13K+ projects completed montly, but my buyer was 1st person who “could not extract them because of the long path they were using and win xp was showing the incorrect error“.

For certain, I can’t recommend my buyer to other coders.

DigitalPoint. Once again

Thursday, September 28th, 2006

I have strange reply from Mr. fsmedia:

“@TakeReal.com
You’re kind of making a fool of yourself, that’s not my account, nor do I even have an account there anymore”

It is about my post to Mr. fsmedia

“While you’ve received “a horrible job and the software doesn’t work”,
Mr jdingman has described his experience as “This coder helped meet all my needs and was quick to respond.” and sent big bonus to his coder.”

Did I write “Mr. fsmedia, you are Mr. jdingman” ? No !
But I compare Mr. fsmedia experience with Mr. jdingman experience:

The same task: “book exchange website”
The same workplace: RentACoder.com

————————————————————————

Unfortunately, I can’t answer Mr. fsmedia at DigitalPoint, because he asks DP staff to close both his threads:

————————————————————————

Passage “that’s not my account” gives me idea. I am going to compare

Result: both persons use Los Angeles area to describe his location.
Mr. fsmedia: Los Angeles, CA
Mr. jdingman: Thousand Oaks, California. It is 40 mile from Los Angeles.

Again I am clever enough to create screenshots to prevent inappropriate moderation.

Inappropriate moderation at DigitalPoint forum (second part)

Thursday, September 28th, 2006

Still no reaction from DigitalPoint’s staff. But I have private messages from Mr. fsmedia:

1.
“You have no part of my transaction and should be minding your own business. Please stay out of my threads and out of my jobs. You have no business in my work. Halt all actions before legal action is taken upon you.”

2.
“It’s kinda funny that you’re making a fool out of yourself too, because you have no idea if that was me or not. Good luck with it.”

Since I have experience with inappropriate moderation at DigitalPoint - I create these screenshots:
