My name is Jean Keita, I am a former student of the University of South Carolina. My request concerns hiring either a graduate student, or one of your best undergraduates to help me make an SQL database with a Java user interface and the following functionalities:

1. Organized storage of Microsoft word and excel documents
2. The ability to search documents by key words and/or by topic.
3. I have notions of programming from a Java class that I took when I was at USC, and I would like to use this as a learning experience and know the program well enough so that I can embellish it and trouble-shoot it myself in the future.

Further details of this may require a proper discussion. But in spirit, my long term objective is for the system to be amenable to a kind of wikipedia framework. Many thanks for your time, and I hope you have a student who is interested in such a job opportunity. Pay is negotiable, depending on the ability of the individual. Many thanks for your support.

I have a partially completed project that needs completion. The project is to develop a DLL with functions exposed so that other applications can call them. The DLL would act as an interface to pass data from a test system (LabVIEW based) to a data archiver (tagged, unstructured, time-series database). The vendor of the data archiver/historian has provided a toolkit with documentation of available methods for exactly this purpose. This is a short-term project and would require a resource with a strong C++ skillset. Jonathan Hines (jon.hines@rowhy.com)
