RE: The Completely Pointless Thread - twisteroo - 09-21-2010
By "thing" I think it is safe to assume that she means a swingers convention.
RE: The Completely Pointless Thread - twisteroo - 09-21-2010
I'm gonna go stuff my THIRTY-FOUR DOLLARS in my matress and go to bed. Tomorrow is another day and another CL listing.
RE: The Completely Pointless Thread - Jamminitin - 09-21-2010
It is a chartered bus so I am bringing my own pillow, blanket, cooler, my computer and some movies. The cooler will have to have some beer so I can fall asleep. It has a biffy so what more can I ask. I will do exercises in the aisle when it gets to be too much.
Twist, I might even do some drunk posting if possible since no bowling this Friday.

Did you mean the 17 hours on the bus or the lifestyles convention?
RE: The Completely Pointless Thread - Twitchin Kitten - 09-22-2010
Well, so much for getting any work done today. Trying to upgrade a client's site and they got me locked out of the control panel. Can't very well upgrade without admin access.
Maybe I'll swap and do someone elses' site first.
RE: The Completely Pointless Thread - Jamminitin - 09-22-2010
How many sites do you work on at any given time and how long, approximately, does a site take? I am so illiterate with computers I find only the basic things interesting.
RE: The Completely Pointless Thread - Twitchin Kitten - 09-22-2010
Depends on the site and what's going into it.
Anything with a forum is time consuming.
I run my three and am on "retainer" for two others.
I have several steady clients that only want me working in their control area (you know because I'm so untrustworthy) and they pay as they go when things are needed. I got several sites I'm going to need to upgrade for those clients on a first come, first serve basis.
If the site has a lot of custom elements like themes and stuff, well that can take almost a full day to get sorted, settled, tested and tweaked. My sites are huge so they will take the longest.
The work is few and far between so I don't really make a steady income from this. And now with Dylan having virtually no internet, it's really hard to feature new things. I'm hoping things turn around for him soon but he's out in the friggin' hinterlands where they don't have cable.
My 'retainer' people don't pay me much either. I don't ask for a set fee from them, they just throw me $$ when I do things for them and actually that works out nicely because they are generous that way.
I work pretty cheap when I do for 'strangers'. My fee is $10/hour. Most times the work I do is less than an hour or two worth of work at any given time. What gets me is how many people think I charge too much and that even more expect me to sit here all day and do this shit for free. Seriously. I've had people bitch that they got this or that for free and since the software is free, how can I charge for my stuff? I wash my hands of those people who have no idea that my time is valuable and that I'm not here as Santa Clause of the internet.
RE: The Completely Pointless Thread - twisteroo - 09-22-2010
I think you should just charge a flat rate of say...THIRTY-FOUR DOLLARS!!! and just call it even.
