I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I like my software password vault on my phone. I'm not going to carry floppies around with me to keep my passwords handy, but my phone goes where I go.

ita, which iphone password vault do you use? Between work & home, I can't keep track of all my passwords, and the iPhone seems a better option than a geek stick for the very reason you mention.

I don't have an iPhone--I have a Nokia e61i running Symbian. I use the Epocware Handy Safe.

Ha! I saw "phone" and my brain read "iPhone". Funny that.

ita, I have Nokia as well. Handy Safe - does it have a mac desktop equivalent?

No. I haven't decided on a Mac app yet. I'd love some way to synch between Mac, PC, and phone, but that's a pipe dream and a half.

Software design type folks -- I need a searchable database designed to be used on a website. Basically, I want to create a scholarship search database where a student can input scholarship criteria (like "engineering" "african american" "minimum GPA") and the database will provide a list of applicable scholarships. I want it it to be easily updated by me or one of my staff (i.e. in a spreadsheet or something similarly familiar).

Now, to the question - how much would it cost to hire a freelancer to design something like that? What are the other parameters that I need to think about that affect difficulty or cost?
