maybe he should. he couldn't possibly do any *worse* than the current ones are, and he might actually do it a lot better...

Getting my head around Google Android development before I head over to the girlfriends for dinner. Thankfully, Android is Java based so has no concept of DLLs

Good luck Bob

OMG I just realised as a life long Windows developer I have strayed into Java in the last 3 months ARGHHHHHHH!!!!!

i'll be sure to keep that in mind. next time i have a problem on a project i'll tell the client, "sorry, my flux capacitator is borked, i won't be able to meet your deadline..."

right now, i am feeling pretty good about a maquette i just finished for a client. i like it, i hope the client will (i'm feeling optimistic), with a little luck this will be the DEFINITIVE VERSION !!! *gasp* !!

...next on the list : eleventy *other* maquettes.

zelda_pinwheel · 09-30-2009, 04:14 PM

okay, now i'm wondering if someone can help me with a translation question. when i a contact for a new project, i write the client a "devis" which gives an estimate of the total cost and the detail of my price for each part of the project. would you call this in english : "estimate" "quote" or "quotation" ? the dictionary says "estimate", but a friend of mine thinks it's "quote" or "quotation". anybody know ?

In Uk English usage an estimate is a rough amount. However, a quotation is a legally binding amount.

So, when I hire an unknown workman I prefer to ask him for a quotation, so I don't get any nasty surprises when the bill arrives. However, if it's a craftsman I know and trust, then I'm happy with an estimate, because he may find some unforeseen problem, so that a job may take longer. Occasionally, I've had people charging less than their original estimate (a very honest electrician, and a washing-machine repairman).

thank you patricia ! is "quote" not used at all in this context, or is it used as an abbreviated form of "quotation" ?

That's right, Zelda. (Just the same as when we hit the "quote" button on the forum!)
