Freelance designer needed

Getting a lot of emails? I'm a freelance designer, and I know some microcontroller stuff - if you really want to email me, you can concatenate my first and last names, 'rich' and 'grise', and add the at sign, and yahoo.com . Put something in the subject line like, "FREELANCE DESIGNER GIG" so I can tell the spamfilter to let it in.

Since I'm in the USA (southern California), I'd have to telecommute unless you want to relocate me. :-)

Good Luck! Rich

I've always wondered why there are so few "designer requests" here. I've got a potential project ( spec not written yet) that is way over my competence, and was wondering how to find a professional writer.

martin

I'm curious what kind of projects these might be. I do have microcontroller experience ( hardware and software ) too along with practical skills building simple mechanisms.

Graham

Professional writer? Of What? I might be just the man you're looking for - I've been a "Tech Writer" for about four years now. And, yes, I can write human-readable tech manuals. :-)

You _can_ figure out how to unmunge my email, above, right? :-)

Cheers! Rich

AHHHHH, sorry I was thinking about writting code, not documents, its about FAT32 an AVR Micro and memory cards with a lot of data per second to the flash card.

But as i said, i havent scribbled the spec down, just having the normal dreams of how it should work.

martin

There are some potential patent issues with using FAT32, at least in the US:

Best regards, Spehro Pefhany

The patent may not be an issue because it only applies to certain means of generating and associating short, 8.3-compatible filenames with long one (for example, "Microsoft.txt" with "MICROS~1.TXT")... And in many non-Microsoft instances, not even then. I've read there's no issue when 8.3 names are used.

Hello Martin,

Because hardly anyone knows Usenet. Plus, AFAIK there really is no other talent exchange board efficient enough to write home about.

I'd post that in the embedded group if it's along those lines.

Tony: That's also where I'd post your request since c.a.embedded is where the uC folks hang out. Use your corporate email address if you can (munged, of course). That increases credibility, big time.

Regards, Joerg

Hi Win/Spef I saw that as well, but if the project works, it's only small quantites, and I doubt it Bill G would worry.

But if it was that really nasty RIAA

martin

Well, as long as we're hanging out our shingles, I can make any kind of mega avr river dance. Send me the program specs, I'll quote em for you.

Sounds fun. I'm in West Yorkshire but booked up for the next ten weeks. :( john

Martin, I believe the word you are searching for is "programmer" :)

Actually I think a lot of them prefer to call themselves "software engineers" for some reason.

hi, I am Raseel.M from india. I have very well experiance in microcontroller hardware and firmware. Our company is doing projects for third parties. I would like to know more about ur requirements..

mail me .. snipped-for-privacy@yahoo.co.in, snipped-for-privacy@gmail.com

Precisely because of the type of post you responded to...but let's get some perspective on this:

hey, good fun, ah, but, oh dear,

"No individuals score , totally team focused on objectives"

The S.E.D team would always loose

martin

Haha!!!!! Too funny! The SED field combat team-hahha! It would self-destruct within minutes........

The Linux crowd seems to have already gotten around that, possibly thanks to the long filenames in W95+, but the point is, they use "vfat", which can read and write to FAT32 partitions just fine.

Thanks! Rich

Hi Rich,

That certainly won't stop Bill from suing Linux distributors if he thinks it'll help Windows more than it'd hurt his public image...

Well, Bill's obviously an idiot - what he should do is download a Linux kernel, or maybe even a whole distribution, and set his army of codemonkeys to the task of duplicating the Windoze eye candy, but on a sane OS.

Cheers! Rich
