Ufffff! I do not want this topic to go beyond page 1, it does not worth it at all, trust me I dont want to waste your precious time with my worthless comment.

So I totally agree with you

Thanks
lolz bro its not that serious. share your wisdom with your brothers and let us all learn. God loves a cheerful giver. but i have to tell you though, the reason i like jelo4kul interface is because it is kinda old school. it reminds me of a certain era. its simple and functional and looks good. i like the fact that its colorful and i like the idea of different boxes popping out when you click a button. i think its very cool.

Laughs.. I am not competing, I didnt upload a sample below my comment, my comment was that the developer could also use a round window instead of the usual rectangular native window and I uploaded a sample to show what I meant.

You told the OP what to do, and he has done it exactly the way you wanted it, im sure you dont need further upgrade.

Of course, adding the zodiac names isnt much of a problem, and talking about other ideas... if you want it to link with google earth constelation, calculating a date of assenssion, etc
lolz brah i know you aint competing, i was actually trying to see if you would come up with something mindblowing so that it will give me an idea as to what to upgrade to if i get bored with this interface and i need my guy jelo4kul to upgrade me in the future to it. i was rooting for you. or i could get jelo4kul to make me an extra program with the killer interface you came up with and just use that as a backup program. so yeah i wasnt saying you were competing. you got us all intrigued when you came out saying both were not good and got us anticipating what you were going to come up with. like if you got any mind blowing ideas please share. we are all learning from each other grin

When you move your mouse over a symbol, it shows the name and of course this is just a sample to show the developer what I meant, so names can be shown explicitely too, degree, minutes and seconds with corresponding zero values are fields where you type your values.. The result is displayed on the Time Field...The sample I put up there is elaborate

The input values could also come from wherever you have instructed the developer
sounds alright but i dont think it tops what he already did. the way you made your first comment i thought you were going to come out with some mind blowing idea that would dazzle. i am sure you have more ideas though

here is what im saying... you also do not need the calculate button, let it be such that when user clicks on the zodiac sign, it calculates based on the sign clicked
so on that chart where is the place that you will enter the values of the zodiac sign you want calculated ? and where are the names of the symbols ? like do i have to memorize the symbols to know which house is which and what if i press the wrong symbol ? will the result tell me for which house i calculated ? i think you will need to come up with a more elaborate wheel than that one you put up there.

Yo, sup? I hope I'm won't be breaking any unwritten etiquettes by requesting for the purpose of the program. I'd love to build something similar as a personal work. Thanks.
the program idea came because i frequent this astronomy website and i noticed that the calculation of their right ascension position of celestial bodies is always wrong. so i figured out the coordinate celestial points in the solar system and tried seeing if i could do a more accurate calculation. and i figured out exactly how i could get a more accurate calculation but i couldnt create an application to do it because I am not a programmer. so thats where the idea came from and the purpose is to get a more accurate position of celestial bodies. this is the website that started the whole idea. their figures were always wrong

Jelo4kul:
AlphaCentauri Thanks slot.

To all Nairaland programmers that believe that getting the equivalent payment for their programs is not possible in Nigeria. Am here to bring news. That myth isn't true. AlphaCentauri, paid immediately he tested my program(the first 7 pics above) and it was working perfectly. When I mean he paid immediately, just believe me. I can tell you that any project he gives you, as long as it's done correctly, you would get the money equivalent of your program, and even be paid for your effort if you didn't get it correctly.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ALPHACENTAURI.
hey thanks Jelo4kul. you did an amazing and outstanding job. i am still enjoying your creation. i am happy to have built a working relationship with you. yup people, Jelo4kul is the guy who did the first one with several windows popping up. several windows built into one and interacting together and linked together. brilliant

I am shocked than you included 7 screenshots from one dude, and 1 screenshot for another - you now ask us to judge, that ain't fair at all.
the one dude only sent me one screen shot lol while the other sent 7. plus if you look at the way the one who sent one screenshot built it, it looks like he only built one window and from that one window will all the action happen while the one with 7 windows built layers upon layers of windows linked together. like if you click something a window pops up, like if you click on any zodiac a window pops up but with the other guy you just check the zodiac in one window and the answer and question all comes from that one window

[b]franklampard dhtml18

so the job is done and i just paid the guy and he will come on later to confirm about the payment cuz franklampard was saying stuff about people scamming him when he writes apps for them. so this is the story, the first guy delivered the project and the second guy delivered it at the exact same time and i was very confused because i thought the first guy had abandoned the project after two days when i emailed him and he did not respond for a very long time so i engaged the services of the other guy who contacted me and told me he had it all figured out and could do it under a day. so anyway i tried to get them both to share the money cuz i was feeling guilty now that the two guys had done the thing but one of them did not agree. so i end up paying the first guy who had been doing it longer and told the other guy i will buy the one he made next week or two weeks at most so i can have backup. so i think it worked out well in the end. anyway i have 7 screenshots from the first guys work and 1 screen shot from the second guy. which one do you guys like the best ?

God will help us for this Nigerians. If and if only developers can be honest, if something pass your power, talk so. . . .
man i have to tell you something, the first guy who i said took 2 days finally delivered the product tonight and the job was extremely amazing. i guess the saying ' slow and steady wins the race ' is very true, while the new guy who said he would knock it out before tonight has stopped responding to my email tonight lol. so i guess i was wrong, the first guy was very good and took his time with it. i stand corrected. i was wrong.

FrankLampard:
Sometime ago, someone wanted to make me develop a site for him with nothing upfront.

I didn't agree, and I kept my stand that he pay my 30% upfront. After sometime he agreed and paid 20%, then I started work. All through this period something was telling me this guy will abscond.

Well he did, after I made my first uploads, immediately the fool saw that I have uploaded the site, he decided to change cpanel username and password, but he didn't know I didn't upload the back end.

His plan was for me to create the site for him for free.

It didn't like it, but I have atleast my 20%
Yeah well thats not me. i am a very compassionate person and even if i decide to use the other guy, i will still pay the first guy for his time and effort and I am sure both guys can come to nairaland to vouch for that, that i paid the first guy for his time but didnt collect anything from him. so i dont know how you negros treat each other in nigeria but out here in mars we show respect dignity and are fair to everyone and reward everyone for their effort

Yes it happens, believe me, i have seen things in the hangs of my fellow naija developers.

Now, let us look at the OPs situation from another angle (a rather funny one this time but based on real life facts):

1. OP wishes to do a job and SeunOsewa advises him to pay a developer 30k for the job.
2. So OP contacts FrankLampard to do the job for 30k.
3. Now FrankLampard does not understand the scope of the job, but feel that opportunity comes but once, and so collects the 30k
4. FrankLampard decides to use 10k out of the 30k to play "2-sure" and lost the money, left with a balance of 20k.
5. FrankLampard now tries to do the work and sees that the work tough no be small.
6. FrankLampard now decides to outsource all or part of the work to dhtml18 for 15k
7. dhtml18 come vex pata-pata and says he cannot do the job for less than 30k
8. So dhtml18 now contacts the OP directly (to collect the job and 30k from FrankLampard) make him do the job.

At this stage, the OP now runs to Nairaland to create this thread seeking for advice.

Disclaimer: this post is merely fiction, and any semblance to anyone on Nairaland or elsewhere is merely coincidence.
OH SHYTTT shocked

That is why I will must take 30% up front money before starting anything.
yeah but do you have a website showing all the apps you have developed or any work you have done ? or you just want someone to give you 30 percent without showing what you are capable of ?

[b]and being the loyal person that i am, i engaged the services of the first person who contacted me. he has been struggling with it for two days now and the kind of questions he is asking makes me scared that he may write a program that would have bugs. lets just say he comes off like he is just freestyling it and has no set formulas. its two days now and i havent paid him. then out of the blues today this guy writes me, shows me all the apps he has written and software and all kinds of great stuff on his website and he says he has the perfect algorithm and has made the timezone converter and calculator for this my program and its a very easy job and he would start if i give him the go ahead and finish it by this evening. he sounds like he knows what he is doing and his apps and stuff he has developed is impressive.

so here is the question ? this other dude has been battling it for two days. and then this new dude knows exactly what needs to be done and has figured it all out already. is it fair to abandon the first guy for the second guy after sweating on it for two days ? and the new guy said anyone who struggles with this type of easy stuff will just write some application full of bugs that i would discover down the line.

so what would you do ?[/b]

Please, are you adding CAPRICORN(a house name) to the data you intend to input ?
Yeah but hold on. i will use you guys ( everyone who contacted me ) for other projects. I am speaking to the first guy that contacted me for this one and he has accepted the job and is doing it but i have numerous projects for you guys who contacted me, depending on how good you are. i have another project where i will need you to create a daily positional visual of the planets. kinda like this

https://www.theplanetstoday.com/images/astrology_planet_positions_online.jpg


so basically i will give you the daily values of the position of all planets for the next 100 years and you will use that data to create a visual daily position like the image above. you think you can pull that off ? thats a huge project

Most people would be interested if you state the problem.
[b]ok here is it. so you have a box divided into 12 equal parts. each part of the box is assigned 2 hours each. meaning the whole box is 24 hours. now each part of the box is also 30 degrees each meaning the whole 12 parts of the box is 360 degrees. now each part of the box is callibrated in degrees , minutes and seconds and the maximum is 30 degrees 0 minutes and zero seconds but the maximum degrees is 30 and the maximum minutes is 59 and the maximum seconds is 59 so like for example we can have 29 degrees 59 minutes and 59 seconds as the last counter before it reaches the maximum of 30 degrees in each house. now each house has names and the first is aries, then followed by taurus and then gemini and cancer and leo and virgo and libra and scorpio and sagittarius and capricorn and aquarius and pisces so looking at the whole 12 boxes / houses the start point is aries at 0 degrees and the ending is pisces at 360 degrees.

so basically what Is the purpose of this program ? i want to be able to type in stuff like 5 degrees 29 minutes 5 seconds CAPRICORN and then it tells me what time this corresponds to on the 24 hour clock assigned to the 12 houses


HOPE THIS MAKES SENSE. IF IT DOES HOLLA. IF IT DONT MAKE SENSE ASK MORE QUESTIONS [/b]
