 This will be the home of my soon to be returning Impractical Computing zine. It will also be the home of the Impractical Computing web series, if I ever make that. In the meantime, it's a great way to see a showcase of the kinds of projects that I've worked on in the recent past, and to get an idea of the kind of work I'm willing to do. 11 comments
 @ajroach42 How's your C++, technical writing, and general electronics knowledge? Does https://www.ngscopeclient.org/ seem like something you'd be a good fit for? I have a long list of wishlist items I'm too busy to work on and will gladly throw some budget at someone willing to spend time on it. @ajroach42 In particular, there are literally hundreds of pages of documentation that needs to be written for various processing blocks. @azonenberg My C++ is basically non-existent. I've dipped my toe, mostly for embedded work, but at the very beginning of my career. I'm sure it's something I could get back up to speed on, but I'm probably not the right person for a heavy c++ project. General electronics is fair to good, and I've worked as a technical writer in the past, but it's a few steps out of my core. Happy to discuss the project further, or to shop it to some other folks who I think might be more well suited. @ajroach42 Basically, for each of ~100 processing blocks (or as many as we have time/budget for): * Get a screenshot of it in use in the waveform viewer * Get a screenshot of it in use in the filter graph editor * Document all of the inputs and outputs * Write a paragraph or two about what it does at a high level @ajroach42 Check out the "filters" section in here https://www.ngscopeclient.org/downloads/ngscopeclient-manual.pdf The first dozen or so alphabetically are fairly well developed and are a good benchmark for what the rest should look like. Note the remaining 100+ are a sentence or two, if that. This needs to change before a full release. @azonenberg I suspect I have the perfect candidate for you. I'll will forward him this thread, and follow up if he is interested. I'm also available for non-computer consulting. I didn't get in to that much, but I've designed and manufactured speakers, I've made toys in resin and from recycled milk jugs. I'm a coffee roaster. I can teach you how to bind books, or consult on ... whatever. I can do training, technical writing, or even tech support on a wide number of topics. If it's out of my wheelhouse, I'll do my best to point you towards someone who can help. |

The core here is:
- I am accepting work
- If you are doing open source stuff, a hobby project, etc. I'm $25/hour.
- If you're a tech company, I'm $125/hour.
- If you're a small business, etc, I'm in between those two numbers, but closer to the hobby number.
- I can do lots of weird computer bullshit, and I can contract out to people I already work with and trust for the small number of things I can't do myself.
- Initial discussions are free, and I'll quote the whole project up front.
- I'd rather do weird BS for individuals than corporate stuff for corporations.
