Great Programmer

If anyone needs a programmer to work on a project, you can e-mail me at
mattvenables (-AT-) gmail.com. I am extremely skilled in PHP and many
other web languages. Let me know!

I could do with some help on some open source projects.

This would, of course, be unpaid, non-profit work.

Cheers

Who was that guy a couple years back from the Chicago area that spammed
his resume around... ...then tried to get back at people who contacted
abuse@ for defaming him?

That was funny as hell.

I have interviewed a lot of people over the years and because of the
mountains of CVs and letters you receive, you tend to scan rather than
read, the first scan to get rid of unlikely candidates you just pick out
the 'style' rather than the content of them. I'm afraid that before I
re-read your post to see what you were actually saying, I had already
mentally thrown it into the bin.

What ever your skills in programming you aren't going to get very far
until you can write better introductory letters.

Your criticism is only marginally helpful to the OP. You say the style
is bad but not what the problem with the style is nor how it could be
improved. Please, enlighten us.

The OP could have posted in gramatically correct English.

The OP could have refrained from spamming his services.

The OP could have provided links to projects/source code that he has
worked on.

Are there any other bleeding obvious observations you'd like stated?

Pray tell, what is wrong with his English?

: The OP could have refrained from spamming his services.

I find that debatable. He posted one message to one news group, and there
is no obvious alternative group to which he should have posted, such as (a
non-existing) comp.lang.php.j obs or similar. Is there a group charter
commonly posted that links to the rules of the group that says this is out
of line? (Maybe, I don't know, but I've never noticed one being
referenced.) Did he post similar messages in numerous other groups? (I
didn't check, but I am guessing not.

Others could very honestly disagree with me, the topic often brings out
deep and potentially correct opinions, and different groups certainly have
different rules on what is acceptable.

: The OP could have provided links to projects/source code that he has
: worked on.

That is always a good idea in a cover leter or resume, but of course since
you have already accused him of spamming when he posted this in a news
group then clearly he needs to be careful to keep his message right to the
point, and also to be careful not to appear to be sneakvertising a web
site. So perhaps it would have been unwise to provide links to anything
in his message.

: Are there any other bleeding obvious observations you'd like stated?

(What was that about grammar?)

Hello, It would be great if there was an option to tell PHP to let the user manage all the HTTP headers instead of sending what it thinks is good for the programmer... For example when you write: header("Status: 200 OK"); header("Location: /my_internal_redirected_page.php");
