Job: I want one day of your time.

I've got a number of simple projects I've been wanting to get of the shelf for a while but no time to get around to them.

Here's what I'm thinking: If there's any programmers with an off day or extra time on their hands, I want to hire you for a day to complete simple projects from scratch. If 1 day is not enough time, no problem, I'll take it from there. Ideally, I'm looking for Rails coders but other languages are acceptable.

I'll have a few options available at any given time. I prefer to communicate via Skype during the process.

Next, I'll give you a scan with a very basic layout. You don't need to do any design, just structure.

As for payment: I've got two ideas for payment, either hourly rate/fixed price or trade of services (I design + HTML/CSS - HAML/SASS). If you're a world-class programmer looking for $300/hr, I can't match that but I can offer a reasonable rate for fun work in your spare time with few requirements and restrictions. If you're needing UI design, I can offer anything from site review & recommendations to site redesigns.

Example projects: Creating a restaurant menu with simple admin including adding and deleting items.

Sending/Receiving SMS only via the Python "Google Voice API".

I'm open to suggestions on how to make this process better as well, so it's not stuck in stone.

I can do HTML/CSS/JavaScript programming, so I'm mostly front end, I can hack some PHP but not good on it. If there is a job for me, email me @ omar.abid2006(at)gmail.com

Drop me a line. Sounds good for procrastination.
