Hey guys, I have a new website for the lubbock area (it doesn't compete with techsans in any way) and the guy handling the mysql/php part had to quit halfway through and I need a new partner. If you are interested in finishing this job let me know. It should be fairly quick and is not super complicated stuff.

Basically it is listing all the drink specials in town and breaking it down by current day and if you want you can search by bar or day.
I am teaching myself how to call up mysql data using php and it is going very slow, if y'all know of any good resources I would appreciate a heads up. -------------------- DrinkLubbock - A shameless plug...

If you are interested then email me junk@hunterproject.com
As far as the pay, you will recieve nothing. What you will get is a writen agreement to recieve a % of all future revenue. I wish I could pay someone and be done with it but I'm a broke college student just like most of y'all. -------------------- DrinkLubbock - A shameless plug...

There was already a site doing this, called lubbockbeer.com or some shit.
And people can always just go to the site of the fucking gay little magazine that goes out every month..........I can't remember what it was called......... The midsection of each issue lists a table with all of the semi - fully popular bars as well as the days of the week, mentioning the specials. Good luck regardless sir ! -------------------- QUOTE (Lance) now we have some dude from argentina wondering how to fuck dogmeat |

The lubbockbeer.com site was here and gone like a fart in the wind, it sits there untouched for years now. They were trying to do to much like bar reviews, pictures and all that which for students is just too much work. Studybreaks is fine if you can get a copy of it, I am on the engineering key and they are pretty hard to come by and of course you could go to the website but unless you bookmark it you have to click through a few menus to get there.
My site is going to eventually be almost running on its own. The drink specials are going to be updated by the bars and thats about all the work thats required. I'll go ahead and give y'all a sneak peek My Webpage And if anyone knows how to lay that data out all nice and pretty please let me know. -------------------- DrinkLubbock - A shameless plug...

It'd work much better with some kind of matrix table or something... I would help you with this, but I don't have the time and without $$$ guaranteed, it's a little risky, especially if you are going with an ad-only model.

I'm new to all of this so I am learning as I go. I'm going to go to Barnes and Noble and pick up a couple books. Hopefully by the end of next weekend the site will be up and running 100%

studybreaks has a website, and that works fairly well. i have issues due to their website always being outdated with their specials, espically at places like daiquiri lounge that constantly change

good idea for a site. just a suggestion here, get the bars involved. sites like this tend to go up and the guys who made them get excited, but then realize that updating it is a boring job and eventually abandon it (similiar to that other site someone mentioned). if you devise some simple password protected update site where a bar manager could simply log in to update their own specials, you eliminate your need to ever touch the site again, and since the bar managers would know about it, they'd probably be more willing to advertise the site to their customers. anyhow just my $0.02.
good luck with it |

They lose business when they don't. I stopped going to conference cafe because their specials always changed and I had no way to finding out the special of the night, because study breaks was always wrong.

That has totally been the plan from the start. I am going to get each bar a user/pass and let them do the updating. They would have to be idiots to pass up on free advertising.
By the way, I got the layout problem fixed. Y'all can check it out at My Webpage -------------------- DrinkLubbock - A shameless plug...

Here is the plan as far as specials go. The specials will be displayed for the current day only, you can then click on a day of the week and get the specials for that day. In the database the specials are going to have an expiration date and once that day comes they are not shown anymore...
Pictures at the top of the site are going to rotate through different bars. This may be more trouble than its worth but I dont know. That is an easy fix, the big thing is getting the site up and running 100% Thanks for the input though, keep it coming. If something sucks dont hold back... -------------------- DrinkLubbock - A shameless plug...

Okay, the site is pretty much done. I need to pretty a couple things up and get a "tell a friend" script but those are no big deal. Let me know what y'all think. I also made a little page that you can access from your cell phone the link for that is http://drinklubbock.com/mobile/ and it works on my Sony Ericsson...let me know if you have any troubles. The link for the main site is Drink Lubbock

Our database already has spots for bar bios, band info and stuff like that and we are thinking about including that in the specific bars page but keep the home page clean with just the basic info. We really want a site that can be setup and basically updated by bars so we dont want to get in over our heads and will have to find the right balance of information.

We are finishing the login page and mysql update stuff for the bars. Once that is done we will send a letter out to every bar instructing them how to update the specials and then we'll wait and see what happens.
As far as the dates go, you will always be looking at current or future specials. Click on tuesday right now and it will be tuesday of next week...not yesterday. -------------------- DrinkLubbock - A shameless plug...
