Serious Trustworthy Geek Needed, Possible Paying Job
I may be stubborn but I'm smart enough to know when I'm in over my head and it seems I'm there. I need help. I need a geek. Not just any geek. I need a geek I can trust to do two projects that could easily take me until the end of the world in 2012 to get done. I don't have a lot of money either but I'm sure between the three station owners we could get enough together to inspire someone to put the work into these projects. They may not even be as difficult as I'm making them out to be but I'm not a pro at this stuff.
Let me describe what I need done in as much detail as possible and hopefully something will come out of this.
PROJECT ONE: THE KMRL CHATROOM RE-VAMP
The KMRL Chatroom is currently using PCPIN.com which has been fine until now but it has a gabillion templates and I can't figure out how to do anything with them. What I'm looking to do is the following:
1. Change the layout of the main room to include video capability. I would rather not use Stickam or any of the other services, I would rather have our own stream going from our own whatever in the chatroom. This requires moving the chat window over a few inches, writing the code for the video capability and changing the list of people in the chat to a drop-down menu so it doesn't look cluttered.
2. We have a kid-friendly room but it has the same smileys and images as the main room and there are quite a few that are NOT kid-friendly. I need someone who can make it so we can have separate rooms with separate sets of images.
3.. Make the 'login with Facebook' work. I tried for weeks and couldn't do it.
I'm not hooked on PCPIN, I'm open to changing programs or something completely custom if it can do what we need it to do. I'd like to get the video stuff in so hosts can have the option of adding their webcams, I just can't figure it out.
That's one.
PROJECT TWO: SAM INSTALL:
This is the big one. SAM is a huge program from Spacial Audio we purchased a few years ago that never got set up. This is also where the trust issues come in.
The SAM install is going on my secondary hard drive. It's got 500gb of empty space so it's enough to store all the music and SAM. Before SAM can be installed there has to be a fully working mySQL install on the drive. I have never done this.
After the SQL is in and going, SAM itself has to be installed and configured and the .php pages it generates have to be checked and tweaked and it's just over my head. It would take me another two years to get it.
However... It requires granting someone remote access into my secondary drive to do the installing. That's where I start to get nervous. I've been burned before, I always used to say on the MUD it was easier to get into my pants than my source code and it's kind of the same here but I have to trust someone if I ever want things to come together and it's been far too long.
Info on SAM can be found her: http://spacial.com/sam-broadcaster/
So these are my two projects. I'm not in a crazed rush but I would love to see these things done and we're willing to pay for your time as I know it's not going to be too easy.
If you know a geek or are a geek, get in touch with me. It would take a HUGE ton of crap off my shoulders to know this was being done.
Thanks and VIVA LA GEEKS!
