We're Seeking a PHP Code Warrior
We have no shortage of plans for improvement here at Pocket PC Thoughts, but what we do have is a shortage of volunteers to help us do the cool things we think up. :-) Fabrizio can do anything I ask him to, but he's only one person, and my list of ideas for him to implement is longer than you'd believe!
So here's what we're looking for: someone who's capable of writing tight, clean PHP code, often something that will integrate with our phpBB database. A familiarity with phpBB would hurt either. This is a volunteer position, but there are many benefits to being on the Pocket PC Thoughts team (just look at our low turnover rate! :lol: ). One of the first projects you'd be working on would be a contest script that would allow us to have many more contests (and bigger contests) by minimizing the workload needed in picking and contacting winners. So you'll also get the adulation of our community for making it easier for them to win stuff. :mrgreen: The contest script is only the beginning however - you'll get to flex your chops in new ways, because there's no shortage of ideas flowing on how to make this site even cooler.
Please contact me directly by emailing jason at pocket pc thoughts dot com if this is something you're interested in.
UPDATE: If you can also write object oriented PHP code as well, that would be a big bonus.

Here's my contest script.....
Code:
$username == entropy1980;
if username == entropy1980;
{winner!};
else
{entropy1980 is the winner};

That's not bad, but I prefer this one:
Code:
if ($contestForNewPDA){
$winner = "sub_tex;
}else{
$sub_tex->paypalAccountDonation+= $300;
}

You should also have excellent Haiku skills so that when your php code breaks the site, you can put up a Haiku page to inform everyone as to why the site isn't working. :lol:

Dont be. You'll find that community sites are almost always PHP and corporate sites tend to be ASP or someother pay per site system.
PHP is seen as open source (and community supported), and ASP is seen as supported by a company (which is what corporates generally like).

Up until very recently, to get what I was getting in Linux land for $500 would have cost $1500+ in Windows land. That's just not feasible for me. That's changed recently though, as EV1servers (formerly Rackshack) is now offering affordable Windows hosting. We're looking at moving over, but it will take a while to evaluate whether or not it's worth it. :-)
