Brief Summary:
  • vWorker.com reminder: You MAY NOT post the final solution for this (and any) project before your bid is accepted and funds are fully escrowed. Anyone who does may have their account permanently suspended. However, you CAN post:
    • On programming projects: A prototype or functional demo...as long as source code is not provided.
    • On graphics projects: A watermarked and low-resolution version of the work.
I'm a technician that fixes Mac computers on a daily basis. Sometimes when I walk in to a project I have 5 or 6 macs to carry out specific procedures that I do on every computer in succession.

1. open hidden location in system folder access 2 fonts, copy them, compress them and archive them into shared folder for rainy day. trash original fonts.

2. clean font caches on Mac with use of terminal commands

3. Set up some of the features within the system to make it ready for a user, (turn on some functions in system prefs etc)

4. install a small package of programs I install as standard. I usually bring these with me as a zipped file of components.

5. open up specific windows within the system, take snapshots of these windows place them into a folder for future reference and compress (zip) this folder for copying after done.

6. all remaining package elements on the desktop are then trashed and trash emptied.

I have been trying to figure out how to create this within automator but just do not have the time. :/

I welcome your inquiries.

Requirements Interview Answers:
To help you bid more accurately, the employer was interviewed about the requirements for this project. Below are their answers. Untitled Page
Project Type: What kind of work do you need done?
Software related (Includes desktop applications and internet websites)
Project Parts: What do you want the worker to do on this project?
Requirements: The worker will analyze the problem and propose a software-based solution to the problem.
Programming: The worker will take the requirements and translate them into the language of the computer (and test it).
User installation: The installer will move the software from the place it was created (which is called the development or QC environment) to where you will use it (which is called the production environment). The installer then tests the software to make sure that the installation was done properly and completely.
Req. Doc. Type: What kind of documentation do you want for this project?
Formal documentation - After talking back and forth, the worker creates a formal document and/or prototype, as follows:
  • Prototype: The analyst will create a non-working mockup of all pages/screens in the final software. Creating a prototype makes it easier for the user to visualize the final software, and reduces misunderstandings.
Program Type: What kind of software should the worker create (and/or install)?
  • A desktop or server program: This software runs on a user's own PC/workstation, or on a server.
Desktop / server program info
Size of application: How many screens/forms need to be created/edited in this application?
I don't know.
Other info:Not sure what to say here, as the description expalins what it is being used for. I need to take an application with me onsite which is a small a bundle of applications that when I click install, it carries out the procedures I normally do 1 by 1 by hand.  This is a MAc Leopard or snow leopard based app
Programming Language: What programming language(s) do you want your application written in?
I don't know what language (and need the worker's assistance to suggest it).
Other info:This application is to be run on intell macs only OS10.5 or OS 10.6
Operating system(s) What operating systems(s) do you want your application to work on?
I do know the operating system(s):
  • Macintosh -- version(s): 10.5 / 10.6
  • Mac OS X -- version(s): 10.5 / 10.6
    		•
    Database: Will this project include a database?
    No, it does not include a database.
    Installation Program: Does the worker need to create an installation program?
    Other. Details: unsure, I would need to take the advice of the programmer
    Legal: 1) I require complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done (so that I may modify it in the future).
    2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables):
    2a) If there are any server-side deliverables (intended to only exist in one place in the Employer's environment) then they must be installed by the Worker in ready-to-run condition (unless specified elsewhere by the Employer).
    2b) All other software (including but not limited to any desktop software or software the employer intends to distribute) must include a software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this project (unless specified elsewhere by the Employer).
    3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law. Employer will receive exclusive and complete copyrights to all work purchased.
    3b) No part of the deliverable may contain any copyright restricted 3rd party components (including GPL, GNU, Copyleft, etc.) unless all copyright ramifications are explained AND AGREED TO by the employer on the site per the worker's Worker Legal Agreement.
    Other Requirements:
    • All deliverables must be uploaded to vWorker.com before the deadline(s) for this project...with no exceptions. If this contract makes it impossible for a competent person to do this, then do not start this project...but instead alert vWorker.com of an un-arbitratable, illegal project.
    • Remember that contacting the other party outside of the site (by email, phone, etc.) on all business projects < $500 (before the employer's money is escrowed) is a violation of both the employer and worker agreements. vWorker.com monitors all site activity for such violations and can instantly expel transgressors on the spot, so we thank you in advance for your cooperation. If you notice a violation please help out the site and report it. Thanks for your help.
