Need to buy health calculators coded in PHP

[netaddict]

Well, I need to buy various kinds of health calculators that are coded in PHP. These calculators should provide accurate information to the visitor and should not mislead them.

I will pay $10 per health calculator.

Thanks

Nice to see someone so eager to dilute the market working for 5 and 10 dollars all the time.

Thanks for nothing. I signed my name BTW.

Ya know, at first I was upset and had a witty reply for you and everything, and then I realized something, your opinion doesn't matter to me. You don't run my business, you don't know what I said in my PM and you jumped to a conclusion. You whined publically about something that could have easily been handled privately, but, no, you felt as though I needed to be made an example of. So, if you wanna throw red rep at me, feel free. Diluting the market, get the hell outta here, the internet is a big place, if your business plan consists solely of these boards, you got a long road paved with misery ahead of you. Last I checked, this was the first post I have answered that involved money for services. And as far as signing your name, thanks.

I gotta ask, what is a health calculator ??
For all I know they could be coded for $10

That's right, I'm trying to teach people that they get what they pay for. A ten dollar programmer is just that.

Thank you.

[Stin]

yes, what is a health calculator?

[frankm]

If you could deliver 5,000 health calculators, you would have PM'd too noppid :)

Considering I have an RN with 25 years hospital experience on staff, I could do the job with little more detail, but she don't work for 10$ either. :/

We can create a market or we can all work for 10$, but I like to eat.

[joeychgo]

My favorite saying is

- You get what you pay for -

Pay for a $5 hack - you'll get $5 worth of value.

noppid has coded a few things for me here n there. He's bitchy, but a great coder. :D

You have no idea what I said in my PM to him, I could have told him he was F'in Crazy, you jumped to a conclusion about it. I am through with this, it's childish and stupid and a waste of both of our time, you have your opinion and I have mine and at the end of the day, my opinion doesn't matter to you nor yours to me. You wanna think me a hack, think away, I could really care less.

[noppid]

Fair enough. Conclusions were drawn blindly.

[AzAkers]

Like it or not - though $10 is a few gallons of gas for our oversized, under effecient driving machines over here - in other parts of the world $10 is something much more.

I was reading somewhere on one of the other threads a while back that $40 is a good weeks wage in a particular country, Where there are students fairly fluent in english, and excellent coders willing to do for $10, what we can't mange to imagine ouselves doing over here.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying I like it, or not - but the world is only getting smaller guys. Its easiest to complain about the guy who undercuts your price - but he's trying to eat too.

Let them eat cake.

I told you he was bitchy...

I actually can't believe some of the posts in this thread. I consider Palespyder a friend of mine and the attacks based merely on the fact that he was going to help this guy out are completely unwarranted. I have been working with him for quite a while and he is actually an amazing coder. He has also helped me out on some projects just because hes a good guy and wanted to help.

I think your original post Noppid was way out of line and your further defense of it was even worse. The only reason people didn't stick up for Pale may just be because they haven't worked with him yet but I actually think Noppid and JoeyChgo owe him an apology.

By the way I'm writing this because this thread pissed me off as there are a lot of good people here that deserve credit rather than being ripped when they try to help someone.

[noppid]

LMAO, I had four paragraphs typed. I deleted it and decided to just laugh at you.

[Blogmaster]

Has anyone answered what a health caculator is yet? can it be reproduced or does it need to be custom coded?

[Blogmaster]

If anyone has a good example of one to show for the rest of us who don't want to participate in the arguing (how can you argue when you have no idea what the issue is), that would be great as well.

[T0PS3O]

Look in Yfs1's health forum. He has a calculator there. Fill out a form and it will give you feedback. It was featured on site of the day or whatever it was called.

[noppid]

Two posts? That's more then $10 worth already!

Morning toot.

[yfs1]

By the way, Palespyder didn't code those, but yes thats an example.

Laugh all you want Noppid - You're the one that has exposed himself as the ass for attacking someone that has actually contributed quite a bit to this forum and has helped out a lot of DPers

Personally I don't think its funny

[yfs1]

Oh and Im glad to see you at least have the balls to sign your reps

Mind your own fucking biz

You know what, this is my business.

You're a real classy fellow

I'm telling you dude, you're pushing the wrong buttons man. Back off.

[jlawrence]

It's interesting that anyone can take offense to some on posting 'PM sent'.
For all I know PS might have a bank of these scripts - although I'm still not certain exactly what a health checker does.
I know that if I have a dozen or so of these things (already coded sitting in cvs) I'd let them go for $10 each without a second thought.
At the end of the day, how much a script is costs depends on a) how much you had to research to create it, b) whether you've got something similar already, c) how many times you think you can sell it. and finally d) how long it took you to code it.

I'd still like someone to tell me what a health checker is :)

[Blogmaster]

I think I speak for all of us when I say that cliquey and overprotective behaviour alienates visitors of the forums.

Thanks TOPS, ysf actually sent me the link while you posted :)

[jlawrence]

bloody 'el while I typed the above another whole page of posts arrived.
Will you lot slow down - my fingers are on a go slow today :D

[noppid]

And all you girls are coming behind a subject and starting shit "after" I admitted it.

None of you even have a dog in this hunt.

But that's ok. I know none of you have a life. :/

[yfs1]

Back off.

I don't come to DP to be threatened. This will be my last post.

[noppid]

Well you weren't threatened my friend, you were told. There are no consequences to call it a threat. :/

Now go pout, I'm trying to have a better day then yesterday. Maybe had you minded your own business, we wouldn't be here now.

I backed off last night and admitted my mistake. You just look like a shit starter now.

[Weirfire]

You're definitely out of line noppid. Palespyder has helped me out with some things free of charge and for you to attack him in this way is completely outrageous. Even if he had offered a low price, it's not really any of your business.

You're not going to make any friends by publicly bullying people. :mad:

If he's as insecure as you guys and not willing to accept my post where I admit drawing a blind conclusion, he'll pm me I'm sure.

I have work to do today. Good luck guys. I'm rough around the edges, but you won't find a more experienced, available, or trustable person to code.

Don't insult me cause you can't afford me. Remember, you get what you pay for with everything.

I'm sure the spider dude don't work for free, but as I already admitted, I jumped to a conclusion.

Can we move on now?

[Weirfire]

I'm willing to accept that your sentence saying you jumped to conclusions was an official apology to PaleSpyder and that you are truly sorry for abusing his good name!

Thanks :)

Back on topic again (go home now there's nothing to see here):

[palespyder]

A health calculator could be a BMI (Body Mass Index) Calculator, Caloric Intake Calculators, Calories Burned Calculators, etc...

[T0PS3O]

I'd be interested in a tool where I can input my average diet and see where it lacks. Like entering a month's worth of data and getting a report based on age etc.. I know there is software like that but that would be a cool script.

I can also imagine height prediction tools (based on parents, siblings, previous growth) and other stuff.

[jlawrence]

Now I know what one is, I can answer the origninal Q :)
Nope, not got any of those and as I'm not medically/health inclined it'd probably be too much research to do for $10 a pop.
It only took 4 pages but at least I can reply now :D

[yfs1]

The research is the hardest part. Us "Healthies" have lots of it so to write the tool, its actually easier than you think.

Typically when I want a tool I give the information, what the tool should do, and how it should display it.

Thats why it typically isn't expensive because the coder is just doing a simple interface that most likely just does arithmatic.

PS. By the way in case the other thread gets buried..The earlier sidetrack was made good (http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=16587) by all those involved so there won't be any reason to ressurect it :)

[netaddict]

OK, I hope the things are settled now :)
The health calculators listed here h**p://www.healthstatus.com/calculators.html

and also here, h**p://www.yourfavouriteshop.com/forum/tools.php (yfs1's) are cool.

I would want something like that.

[jlawrence]

OK, do you have the equations for calculating the various stuff ?

[netaddict]

nope, I guess thats the most important thing I am looking for, otherwise, I would have coded those tools myself :) Tools should provide accurate and reliable information.

[Boston_JM]

you know i read the whole thing and have a few coments

1)have i done work for peolpe in my buisness for free yes why to build a cleint base

2)does it matter what some one will do for some one i mean if your hoping for 30 a hour and the market with competion will do it for $10 then the person that wants 30 is going to not eat like if you rember with the dot com bust

3)to say that you pay for what you get well this can be some times true and false depending but ether way i would never pay some one weather it be 30 or 300 a hour if it didnt meet all my needs plus you should ask for there work they have done

4)to have 4 pages of this was there real any need and what does that do to the forum as a whole i dont think guests would want to join a forum if they see this type of posts

5)even though most it jobs are going over sees am i going to call up IBM or intel and yell at them no because i know it would not help

6)does a programer ever have a good day and feel like doing some thing nice for some one with out charging normal fee yes i think so and maybe at that time he wanted to do something nice for some one and maybe he was thinking outside the box and seeing a long term client with this person

7)do we all run a buisness or something elese because i would never dream of talking like that in front of a client and you think thats the way to get business if so better think again

just my 2 cents Jim

Wow, you guys owe me for wasting 15 mins. of my life reading that thread. YFS1 how do you feel threaten and noppid don't be attempting to threaten people. No offense I don't think nopidd is going to show up at your house and give you a beat down (programmers aren't the best fighters anyway). One of my favorite health caculators that I actually use is fitday.com . That site has no marketing and is yet quite popular (and free) imagine if you where to clone that a market it. :D

Lol I will probaly be recieving negative rep for this post. Does anyone ever get good reps ?
