Show TDWTF: My side project
-
So, last year I spent some four months unemployed for different reasons, but the stream of job calls/offers/interviews never ended and I built a tool to help me out managing all that stuff.
At first it was a "for me only" thing but then I figured that it might be useful to others and make some petty money on the side and decided to add users authentication, and fix/remove some stuff. But before I open this thing I wanted to show some screenshots and get some 2¢ opinions from everyone who cares to.
Job Form
Main jobs page
Import from several portals
One of the things I'm planning on adding is a RSS/Atom feeds reader so users can subscribe and receive all job openings in a single place.
About the tech, it's done with Jetty + SpringMVC + Thymeleaf + Bootstrap + RiakDB. To import jobs from portals, I use YQL to get an XML from the target URL and scrap it. Damn CORS!

This looks nice. I'm using a similar tool to track my female admirers, log various gifts and sexual favors they are offering etc... The usual.
Thumbs up.

Cool. So you can just use flat files for storage since the amount of data doesn't require indexing? :P
-
I admit, I use flat file storage.... ON A DISTRIBUTED APACHE HADOOP CLUSTER! BOOYAA FUCKER!

FLAGGED FOR EXCESSIVE BLAKEYRAT INCITEMENT
You might as well flag people for breathing.

So, slightly back on topic... are you planning on hosting this somewhere or release it as a product?
Also, higher res images of especially the first screenshot would help. I don't know if Discourse broke it or you uploaded a low-res one, but I can't zoom in on anything but the second image.

Hosted on digital ocean. I'm looking to use coreOS to see how it works first.

So, if I mention Mr. Dickhead he gets to insult me and if I don't, I get insulted too. He chose a bad day.

Good. 'Cause I wouldn't be caught dead installing that software stack :P

FLAGGED FOR MY CAPS LOCK IS ON.

Did someone insult you?

Actually, it's pretty easy:
- Docker image for Riak.
- JAR with embedded jetty.
- HAProxy install and setup.
I can have a new droplet working in 5 minutes. It would be less if I could install Java with apt-get.

You can... unless there's a reason that OpenJDK wouldn't work?
And I think there was a PPA with Sunracle Java around somewhere, if you're using *buntu / derivatives and not Debian.

install Java with apt-get.

you can. via a PPA. and if you drop a file in the right place ahead of time you can do it completely headless

you'll have to search around for where you need to drop the "i agree" file and what contents it needs to have. i don't remember that off the top of my head.
EDIT: hanzo'd while i went searching for sources.
-
Hmmm... I'll have to give it a try and create a whole docker image using that PPA.

here's the command to automate installing of java8
echo oracle-java8-installer shared/accepted-oracle-license-v1-1 select true | sudo /usr/bin/debconf-set-selectionssource: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/09/install-oracle-java-8-in-ubuntu-via-ppa.html

You might as well flag people for breathing.
Breathing through the nose, or through the mouth?
-
I'll be honest. The only reason I'm really holding onto this job right now is because looking is such a pain in the balls to juggle all the data and I don't have the mental bandwidth left to deal with it without getting screwed.
I demand that you finish this thing.
-
The first and third image are not expanding?
Looks pretty cool. Like a CRM...in reverse or something.
-
Breathing through the nose, or through the mouth?
I think the answer has to be "both", to get the proper effect.
-
Is breathing through a ballpoint pen a la self-tracheotomy okay?
-
-
That's spelled "yes", isn't it?
No, I'm pretty sure it's spelled "both". "Yes" would have been an acceptable answer, too. In retrospect I should've said "either", not "both".
-
Is breathing through a ballpoint pen a la self-tracheotomy okay?
Knock yourself out. Literally, if you're going to do it.
-
Yeah, I spend all day raging at people attaching 1080i screenshots to tickets, so I take care of saving the world some bandwidth.

But... But... if you want to sell this to me I need a high res screenshot so I can complain about the text being half a pixel too far to the right!
-
In our last UAT we had a tester who kept copying a screenshot into Word then saving it as a PDF and attaching them. In QC, which has a screenshot feature which captures it and attaches it as a JPG in two clicks.

Did anyone ever tell him the right way to do it?
-
Yeah. They were all told.
-
Yeah. They were all told.
Sure, during training, I assume. But did anyone ever quietly take him aside after he kept doing it wrong and tell him again the right way?
I get screenshots in Word documents on a semi-regular basis. If the person sending them isn't an idiot I'll try to explain the right way to do it.
Can't tell if they're an idiot or not until you tell them how to do it and see what happens. (Or something else happens that makes it obvious, of course.)
-
Sure, during training, I assume.
Yes.
@FrostCat said:But did anyone ever quietly take him aside after he kept doing it wrong and tell him again the right way?
I don't know. They're in a different office. I assume not.
-
I don't know.
Ah. Well, you can't really say too much too bad about this unless you know someone tried to teach him better and it didn't take.
-
In retrospect I should've said "either", not "both".
In which case it's definitely spelled "yes."
