    Give the guy a break. He doesn't spend hours sitting like that, not even minutes. He's aware of the need to keep the weight off and mentioned to me the other day that he's doing something about it.

    You need to eat or drink something with sugar in it, sweeten you up a bit... Or are you just having an off moment..?

    Well, I think you're probably wrong, looks like a typical IT slouch, and a great way to fuck your joints and posture. But, ya know, whatever :shrug:

    No, I'm always a cunt.


    If you want to do him a genuine favour, buy him some monitor arms that raise the monitors up a bit, and a decent seat, that'll ween him off that position nicely. Of course it's entirely possible that he doesn't spend hours writing code, concentrating solely on that and fuck all else, but he'd be a pretty unique dev if that were the case...

    Rudy's unique alright. He farms out the donkey work these days, he's got some very talented people working for him. His role now, mainly, is telling them what he wants and how he wants it and putting it all together. He liases with the client, assessing what the client wants, the budget available and what he wants to achieve, then advising exactly how to get the result the client is after. He tells the client how long it will take each stage of the project to reach target and monitors the site daily, providing a monthly, (or weekly, depending what the client wants), report on how it's going and what tweaks he's made to it.

    His real expertise is in setting up the basic skeleton for future growth and in SEM/SEO. His results are genuine and solid and he avoids risking the backlash from the likes of Google which has seen other designer's clients blacklisted. His own sites, Euro Plumbing and Plumbers NZ along with James Blond, are good indicators of what he can achieve. jamesblond.co.nz was a complex site scratch-built with a complicated booking system required. The owner is very clued up though which helped a lot as he knew what Rudy was talking about and was able to provide good content and understand the process. He's so happy with the results, he is now getting Rudy to build an Australian website and is revamping the NZ one as the business grows.

    The recently relaunched Plumbers NZ site is the result of two years work and once operating fully will be the biggest site in NZ. He's already got interest from major players in the industry, both for the plumbing, gasfitting, solar and drainage industry and the likes of Yellow Pages, Finda, (Seek too I think) and larger IT companies. He has several hosting packages on his own servers as well. He's already turned down offers for the site.

    It looks like he's finally going to be able to redo my site which has only been a hastily chucked together landing page by me, but he's going to build me a shop. I'll be doing most of the content writing for it and it'll be about 5 or 6 pages, I think.

    are you proving the KB contract does work? I said move not remove
    I did have the Dr convinced it was the exercise but now you've let it out its KB, still a lot more to go. refer back about 10 posts

    You've mentioned that before... I fail to see what's complicated about it? Pretty basic stuff... go and have a look at the guts of an international airline booking system or a track n trace courier system; that is getting complicated.

    I'm not an expert of course, but I'd say same thing only more and bigger. But then most of what Rudy talks about is way over my head. I just listen in complete ignorance when I'm there and he's discussing a job with one of his chief programmers... May as well be talking in German or Mandarin to me, and I know a wee bit about IT terminology...

    I did that for 7 years, but the ops side, so crew rostering, route planning, aircraft scheduling, daily ops (aircraft & crew) rules compliance (FAA etc), flight logs. Few million lines of code. development team leader/principle software engineer. Fun times.....

    Sorry, are you saying that JamesBlond site is the same than an airline reservation system only smaller? Sabre & Open Skies (reservation systems) are written by large multinational corporations. Navitaire who make Open Skies is a 600 employee company, which itself is only a business unit of Accenture, a 45,000 employee company. I know this because Navitaire bought our ops systems for several million dollars a few years ago.
