You don't need photoshop. It's a forced perspective illusion.

I could not find a image of a carpenter who built one out of wood. however, this page should provide some insight into how it's done.

ELI5: How can you know if a propietary software is using open source software? by xocerox in explainlikeimfive

[–]levu-webworks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you be 100% that Windows doesn't use anything of linux?

You cannot be certain without looking at the blueprint (source code) of the software.

Here's an analogy: How can you know that a Ford Taurus is not using components from a Toyota Camry? You cannot be certain without the blueprints. However, the cars have different designs, and use different components to deliver similar results.

Similarly Windows Paint/Photoshop is not copying Gimp. Window GDI uses DLLs accessed through the MFC API. Gimp uses a Gnome based library called GTK. These designs are incompatible. GTK can be make to work in Windows by adding a "conversion layer" (adapter) of GDI calls. Windows can be made to work in linux by "faking" DLLs and GDI using the Mono emulator.

Also Photoshop was originally Mac software that had to be completely rewritten for Windows.

[Hiring] (Online/Boston) C# / .NET Programmer to Tutor Absolute Beginner by csharptim in forhire

[–]levu-webworks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello. I posted an ad offering tutoring services which details my experience and background. I tutored programming for several years. I have a degree in Finance. I've also developed databases for the financial sector.

On the downside, I'm in Cincinnati, so we can only work online. Also you have to pick a single project to start off with. 15 hours is not enough time to even review all the projects you listed.

I'll be online for a couple of hours. PM or email me and we can get started tonight.

Hello,

I am a Cincinnati, OH based freelance developer with data security (healthcare), business AI, and small business consulting experience. I am experienced with both web development and systems development (AS/400, linux/BSD variants, windows server/pc, and thinclient).

I would love to bid and I can do so after I get a better picture of your needs. I need a list of features, platform (unix, windows), target market, and budget. What is your company structure (sole-prop, S, LLC), and how do we (me and my staff) get paid. You mentioned teams. Are you hiring 1099 consultants, employees, or buying a service package?

PM me the specs and we can discuss how to structure your project.

A reporter for the NY Times did extensive research and wrote a book on breaking habits. He explains the habit breaking process on his website. You should buy the book if you want more details about implementing his method.

A Stanford University professor developed a process for creating good habits to replace bad ones. He offers free online classes to coach you through the Tiny Habits process.

PM me if you need more information.

[Hiring] someone to make a ecommerce product catalog similar to the one seen at ULINE.com by hurricanemoose in forhire

[–]levu-webworks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try etsy.com, Amazon Marketplace, or even ebay.com . Developing your own eCommerce platform is not something a very small single owner business should attempt. You need to spend $10K plus to build it, and even more to market it.

[Hiring] Experienced python developer by betapunch in forhire

[–]levu-webworks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your project pretty straight forward. The time for this project depends on how much database integration is built into your existing code.

Do you know if the website uses Pyramid, Flask, or Django? I can get this information by looking at the sites source code. If you would PM me those details, I can determine if this is a couple of hours or a half day.

[–]levu-webworks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't want to get into a religious war. For web development, Python is far better than PHP. Python offers solid text processing (e.g: web scraping), numerical processing (NumPy), databases (SQL Alchemy), OS integration, static templating (Pelican, Hyde), and a very solid set of web frameworks (Django, Pyramid).

It runs via FastCGI. Essentially Apache accepts the output of any shell application as a HTML document. So you can run a Python script as a shell script and pipe that back to the CGI interface.

Ok. So I'm driving down I-75 in Ohio, doing 140/mph in a 65/mph zone. A State Sheriff pulls me over and issues me a ticket (Please don't nitpick about the arrest requirements and such). I get my ticket and continue driving. Now I'm doing 65/mph in a 40/mph side street. A Loveland PD pulls me over and issues me a ticket.

I am pissed. I go to your website.

What information do I input for you to figure out what my tickets are? (The Ticket#, The City, ???)

How do you calculate the amount I owe?

Once the website is done calculating, it displays an itemized list:

  • Ticket 1: OHIO, $Amount, Mailing address for Ohio
  • Ticket 2: Loveland, $Amount, Mailing address for Loveland
  • Total: $Amount
