SteemGigs Was Rebuilt And Is Now Useable (Mostly Basic Functionalities e.g Freelancer Profiles, SteemGig Editor etc). Code Will Be On Utopian Soonest!
Imagine this simple-looking complication below and you may understand how "tough" i live.
Well, i can't say i have a life yet.
Now imagine: my dad's flight ticket's been bought and my sister's. I was able to find the perfect big house to rent, one that will suit my dad and the plan is to leave my current house to the new house, to begin living with my dad upon his arrival.
I haven't seen him for more than 5 years
My sister will only accompany him here as he is ill with dementia and glaucoma. Now, you would think "so?", "what is the complication?"
Hahaha, this simple thing involves alot of hard things
Few hours away from departure and my dad simply isn't agreeing to be moved an inch. I am not physically present with him but i am hearing it.
First my dad is just being told that he is about to travel, hours before flight-time. Well, he is just being told now because my dad will not be made to go anywhere, not even to the next street, for no reason.
He has a huge character but apart from that, he has fears, apprehension and he forgets, "he forgets us" even and more recently, the only one who he would listen to, very readily, is my mama.
My mama however, has lost life and my dad has been looking for her ever since. He was eventually told of my mum's passing but he forgets at times, hence, when he remembers, he gets angry with us because he feels we let her lose life.
Then, he gets apprehensive about us doing the same to him.
It's like this: "he didn't even know how my mum arrived the Philippines". One minute, she was back home with him (after she was sent home for a short period with words that "she had no cancer") and the very next minute, she was in Philippines and no longer anywhere to be found.
And anytime i get to talk to him on the phone, he only "so wants to speak to her" and i deal with so much terribleness, when i have to end the call on him etc
My mum's arrival here was all rushed and impromtu. More like, "lemme see my son and family before i pass" and with her last energy, within a few days, her ticket was bought and she was here, only for me to start with her, "her last 16-days", journeying from hospital to hospital, just hours after she arrived here.
Basically, i am here right now, doing large measure of trauma moments because i fear that afterall, my dad may not agree to be moved an inch, let alone go into two airplanes to arrive here.
I still await news.
Even though i know it will be so tough for me; i want my dad to be next to me, let me do all the sacrifice of watching him go through suffering but loving him intensely and holding him close.
So i do need prayers: "prayers that hours from now, he agrees to travel here and that my young sister can pull through the journey with him".
I am his replica.
Yes, i will listen to him talk 24/7, of his unmet dreams etc and it can crush me but i will use all my energy to draw testimonial "drive" from it.
In the meantime, there is so much work to be done and this work won't stop.
Like my dad, "i carry the dreams of many nations".
At this very point, there is need to begin https://steemgigs.org
https://steemgigs.org
I needed to shed just a bit of my load.
Thus, by tomorrow, i should be putting the new steemgigs github code on utopian allover again as an open-source project, ready to be built by everyone.
In truth, that has been my plan since day one, that we become testimonies together, to the words "everyone has something to offer" but i needed to let out at least a working alpha.
For the building of https://steemgigs.org, i wanted to stick to the developers from "nations" that world calls; "developing" because i don't believe in developing or developed, for i believe in "everyone".
So, i stubbornly stuck to developers hailing from these nations. The whole process has been slow thus, even ready heartbreaking at times but i tell you, "i wanted this harder more testimonial route", with hopes that we can bring these striving developers as well to the limelight.
Infact, the last existing steemgigs interface was started all over and the current one is like the 6th attempt or UI-build.
Right now, it is time to go, so, we are sticking to this one and together, we will built it to completion, through your contributions and with support from @utopian-io.
My tech team is gradually filling up and some of the developers involved became steemians, to join in studying the steem code, inorder to help.
There is also alot of developers on the route to becoming steemians from this whole movement, as they have heard of steemgigs and its interest in "developers" from any nation.
The lead developer for the current https://steemgigs.org is @jalasem. He has been brother since day one and believes in the vision for "SteemGigs" with utmost love and passion. He is very proud of @steemgigs and what it represents and he has kept showing it and its true beauty, at various events for coders in his state in Kwara, where he leads a group of passionate youths who look to adjust the world, using codes.
Other tech members of the group are here in the Philippines! More details with be established and presented, over the course of time.
For now, steemgigs is testable and has many features working. It is even use-able!
In general, SteemGigs can be said to be the first freelancing social network on a decentralized steem blockchain with the power of Fiverr, Upwork & Freelancer combined. We will passionately & proactively help you bring your innovation, dreams, vision, enterprise etc into full-blown life.
In our space, "everyone has something to offer"!
So do you want to offer a service in exchange for Steem/Steem Dollars/Steem Power or are you in need of someone to help you accomplish a service e.g build a dream?
We will gladly help!
The current steemgigs frontend code will be on utopian in a day or two and will be accepting contributions then.
I will do loads of task requests as @steemgigs is mostly starting out empty, to be built by each of us.
SteemGIGs will look to promote itself as built by "everyone" as we will proudly showcase contributions, contributors etc on the platform.
As at the moment, you can already add your freelancer (steemgigger) additional profiles onto steemgigs if you are a freelancer or a "steemgigger" in this case.
Steemgigs has an internal database to allow profile additions and enhance search and categorization.
Note that steemgigs is not all ready. Basic functions however, are already useable, with continuous updates & edits on the go!
Beyond just a conventional freelancing marketplace, it has an untalented paradigm which will be fully unfolded overtime. (It also has the fun untalented specialized editor that allows you to post to steemit, in the making)
Then, it has a "steem & steemit" paradigm.
Clear details will be made on a follow-up post that will be published from utopian to present @steemgigs as a project on utopian.
There is need for me to do this announcement post at this point . Not only has it been so delayed, mostly due to "pacing", community-building and more recently unforeseen occurrence but this announcement lifts some load off of my shoulders and perhaps, bring about a much need excitement to the steemit community and thousands of steemgigs lovers.
I am grateful for every patience. I am grateful for each love that has been selflessly shown towards "steemgigs".
The "steemgigs" witness has stood to represent this movement all along and you have supported it heartfeltly. I am so grateful!
The full public rpc node 256 gb on "wss://steemd.steemgigs.org" has stood to inspire developers from nations that the world has chosen "developing"
So, i value and cherish all the support.
Just earlier in the day, i still found this two work of art, related to "steemgigs" and its all magical.
I am so heftily grateful
This post was hurried but weighty as it contains a piece of me. Thank you for bearing with me and my flaws and sifting even my "not-so-good" to find "good" therein.
Note: https:/steemgigs.org UI and functionality is not at its optimum as it will be built be us each and based on feedback. Due to too many delays and other reasons as seen above. It is time to go. We will also upgrade servers over the course of the coming weeks to host the masses. Then, when steemgigs is fully ready with a strong team, we will propagate steem also as a home online where "everyone has something to offer".

Sorry for getting back to you this late. I wouldn't know about this if you have not told me last night.
I remember you told me last year that you wanted to move your parents to the Philippines.
It hurts to know that you and your sisters are going through all these, it's like a never ending cycle of heartbreaking news. :'( Sorry if I have to say it but it's a really tough situation. You are a tough one, I can't imagine all those effort and sacrifices you put in. I know you're holding on but it's not easy, even the "haha" you wrote there, I can feel the pain.
Remember, there's always a light at the end of the tunnel. I hope your dad will listen to you eventually before his visa expires. Keep us updated.
On the bright side, am glad to know that there are people who are are helping you with your projects and look at how many genuine people that cares about you.

Yes, we are his followers and we all love him. His witness has not yet reached the list of 50.

Your vote has not been successful. If you want to validate, and try again. All in small print. Greetings.

We need to vote him (@surpassinggoogle) for every minnows be inspired in their journey here in steemit.
We really appreciate all the good work and encouragement @surpassinggoogle have been giving to us. Voting him as witness is the least we can do. I had to check my voted witnesses again to verify that i have voted him.
I ENCOURAGE YOU TO ENSURE YOU VOTE @surpassinggoogle as witness https://steemit.com/~witnesses
Thank you very much for checking it out. Effectively your vote is successful.
FOr us to repay for his kindness and unending support, voting for him as a witness is what is left for us to do. It’s more than enough and i know we can all make him as one of the trusted witnesses to make this platform greater than ever. We have seen all his hardworks from his idea of steemgigs, teardrops and steemsecrets. Voting for him is a great way for us to thank him for all he has done. :) We are all for @surpassinggoogle! We are his support :)
Dear @surpassinggoogle,
Thank you for always looking out for minnows. You are doing amazing and I will always be supporting all of your projects to make Steem a better community. I will definitely try out steemgigs. Again, thank you!

We are now part of one family, my prayers are with him
In fact, I must go there and vote him now. He truly deserve it.
Hello Sir, @steemgigs what are the benefits of this offer if you work? I have logged in @steemgigs
this + others options ok boss. @maemeghna.
You can edit to add to your resume. Like add some things onto the steemgigs profile to show your expertise. When you offer services and you have a number of them, people will click on your profile as well to have a grasp on your expertise and if you will be capable of rendering service to them etc i will gradually write tutorials and hints for each aspect. please hang in there
Wow,there is far more to steemgigs than i was thinking. I was thinking its just merely for making post and stem-related activities.
Its even a medium to sell one's expertise. Wow. Great work @surpassinggoogle
Can't wait for to be fully functional.
To be honest I think I need to learn more about this!
@surpassinggoogle..
Yes, you will learn. it is gradual. There will be tutorials and all. I just needed to put it out there to get feedback and improve on it but more cos of so many delays and unforeseen circumstances. Steemgigs is already close to a year old.
What motivates you bro? How can you go through so much and still always have time to touch lives? Indeed, God leaves His toughest battle to the strongest soldier.
Great work on Steemgigs. I always knew there is more to it. Well done bro.
I was created for this. Leading each one to the Creator Jehovah is the eventual mission. They will have no longer any doubt about His existence and profound love. This is an entire curriculum. He provided me with intel that the world still seeks and is still very novice about. It will be heard by means of an entire curriculum. The teardrops token is the breakthrough portion of it.
Aweee. Youve been bestowed with such gift to lead and inspire each and everyone here sir!! You yourself is a gift to the community :) You’re one of the bravest and strongest people i know in this platform. i know you can get through this situation of yours.
He is too adorable. His mental toughness and ideas are definitely from above, not from abroad. He is a rare gift, and he came to this world to give us all a lift.
I couldnt agree more! He is a gift to this community :)
I can testify to it sir. You have been immensely amazing with an amazing touch. Your creativity and ideas are definitely not of human. You have that touch from God and it delights me that i got to know you. Like Ruth said in the Bible: "Maybe i am in the palace for such a time as this". You are really a blessing and you came to give us all a lift.
Teardrops has been a huge blessing to me. I shared my stories too, in three parts and i felt ease and peace. They made me stronger now. Thank you for the wonderful initiative. Thank you for all you do; steemgigs, teardrops, untalented, sing-song, steemsecrets, just to name a few. Well done. big hugs for you (kindly receive it)
Whoa, I like this feature. It's gonna be awesome for us to show something that we can offer!
Please do help us with the tutorial, because steemgigs is having so many things to offer than i'm actually thinking.
I feel it gives everybody the opportunity to offer something, because no matter how untalented with might be, we always have something to give
LOL, out of my curiosity and too much excitement. I tried posting at steemgigs.org, even though SG said that it is not fully functional at this moment, but most of the most basic is now functional, and I just want to give it a try.
Loll... I also went to check on the site too. The anxiousness and anxiety is already high. We can't wait for it already.
I trust @surpassinggoogle is trying to put up the best. Good things take time. So we just have to wait for a greater good.
I agree with you. Good things takes time and to get the best, you have to sacrifice.
We're willing and ready to sacrifice and wait for steemgigs
After i read the post, i did try to test it also! Looking forward to it already! Cant wait for it to function! Hehehe
That untalented editor isnt complete yet. It doesnt yet have the vote option. The editor that works currently is the main editor for creating freelance services. So think of a service you can offer and try that; "everyone has something to offer". e.g i will write your brandname on my bare belly and walk around with it for 5 steem etc
Lollll... 😂😂... I never thought of that like forever... Loll...
When i come up with a similar brand, i will run down to https://steemgigs.org
Lolll... I still can't get over that idea... Lolll
##Help please : need your help
I am clicking help button but it does not work...
Has @steemgigs a support team boss ????
Not yet bro. It will happen. It is still empty currently but the link to the community on discord is at the bottom of the post. the discord will be revamped. Then there is a facebook page as well. Please hang in there
Okay sir,
Your are really helpful . Thanks for support us.
When @steemgigs support team can come us ????
Really soon. Just hangout on the discord. https://discord.gg/CGuPyyT
Thanks sir, I have a question...
Discordapps is useful for steemit user @surpassinggoogle??
What are the advantages of this?
I already accept your invitation and registered .....
What a brand concept... Lolll.... This is really really hilarious... Lolll... Write the brand on your bare belly..... Lolll...
I have come up something like this for steemgigs... Lolll
have said it before and I will say it again, the future of #steemgigs is bright. My friend @surpassinggoogle is doing a great job. These basic functoonalities added are very great especially for freelancers.
Let's support the movement as we all have something to offer the community.
I can't wait for it too, but all we can do for now, is to explore and learn about the entire steemgigs.org platform. Patience and waiting in calm is a virtue.
Oh Terry you break my heart and it bleeds for all the pain you go through. Yes you are doing the right thing by bringing your papa to be with you. Share the moments with him and make it count, and though there are situations bigger than us, God is always by us, giving US strength to go through them. Give your papa all the love he deserves, and let it be in his memory forever. Thank you so much for being the best son to your papa.
Yea bro my heart bleeds as well. I hate seeing him ho through this and the fact that I can't offer immediate solutions breaks my heart the most. He has such a gentle spirit and shouldn't be going through all these. I pray Jehovah gives him strenght .
A prayer to be dedicated for him is what is enough for us to do right now. It must be hard for @surpassinggoogle to have this hard situation. We have been so blessed for his support to our journey here. For this time, let us all give back to him through a prayer for his father and may his father listen to him eventually. :)
Yeah. I think I understand how it feels.
My dad was one time sick for about 6 years. And then I practically followed my mom everywhere they took him to.
DaddysLove.
Honestly those were one of the most terrible years in my life. Thank God he is alive and healthy today.
@surpassinggoogle, I support you. I pray the love you have for him would sustain and keep him alive for you my friend
We also try to put him in our prayers, and pray that these bad moment quickly fades away.
We believe you have all the best put in place to give papa a very warm welcome, and a good environment for relaxation. Cause our parents are the best things that could ever happen to us, and its sweet how much you put in for them.
Hope you enjoy every moment spent with him, because the memories are more than gold.
Terry is A lover and I know that he will take extreme good care of his papa.
Hmmm. I guess I can feel the heaviness in his words.
My Mom would say "Tomorrow's gon be better"
And I'm saying to you @surpassinggoogle, Tomorrow's gon be better. Keep faith. Your goodness will surely have great rewards
Love to read it..........
The loveful thoughts behind her despair makes him trully a man of wisdom. He is trully brave enough to come true his dreams. Be strong and keep motivating sir, as well as bringing your father with you. The mighty of father and son is the most gifted power above all
Thank you again @surpassinggoogle for making an extra effort in @steemgigs.
And to think he also had to give so much for the launching of @steemgigs...
Hmmmm.... This is an alpha @surpassinggoogle. I lack the words to express the heart wrenching concern i feel towards you and your family right now.... I took time and studied your several words on the several pages few days ago, and i lost so much strength when i discovered what you are going through. It almost felt like i carried all the pain on my back. Out of a full heart, i put together some words on my blog, and i dedicated it to the one awesome person that can give any kind of inspiration to do any kind of thing....YOU! Indeed Terry, i'm very sorry about your mum, dad, family.... They call it life, but this is the part of the life i never get to understand. How much more can a child take in?
But the consolation here is, you are the best of your kind. Now i've met another strongest person i know.
Please, you don't have to read what i put up on my blog if it will bring more pain, just know i carry you in my mind and pray for you everytime i go on my knees.
Thank you for fighting so hard. I'm sure your parents are the proudest there are today. I will support @steemgigs with every support i have. Just say what it needs, and i'll do. I'm sure many here would do same. And i like the utopian.io part.
I still can't say what my heart feels about this, but i hope you understand. Just never forget, you're never alone!
That's the spirit dearie . I always keep saying this all he needs is our care, support and prayers . He is at the low points in his life and deserves all the support he can get. I too will support steemgigs with all that I have got. @surpassinggoogle is like a brother to me and I gat his back.
You’re never alone sir @surpassinggoogle! We got your back! We are here to support you on your @steemgigs movement :) we pray for you and your family ..
Terry talks about life a lot, he has done a lot of life and this is just one of them. My prayer is that God will show him mercy and remember him in this difficult times.
Terry taught me One lesson, that you could be in challenges yet strive to give others freedom, you could be in pain yet give others joy.
Steemgigs has a very awesome future prospect, let's join hands and support it.
God bless @surpassinggoogle
An outstanding lesson indeed and so much in character with @surpassinggoogle.
My dad didnt agree. Did all i can. begged etc but he only wants to speak to my mum. It is tough. i am crushed. twas two tickets etc but i will try one more shot before his visa expires
Oh My God! This must hurt so bad but keep trying while the whole Steemian is helping you do the pain and the prayer. I pray your dad will be divinely stirred to agree with coming to stay with you. God bless you Terry.
Please i'm sorry about this. This really hurts after all the arrangements and plans.
I suggest we try one last time and please, just try being soft with him.
This is actually breaking my heart.
Please be strong, i know it's difficult but please just try.
Yes you are doing the right thing by bringing your papa to be with you. Share the moments with him and make it count, and though there are situations bigger than us, God is always by us, giving US strength to go through them. Give your papa all the love he deserves, and let it be in his memory forever. Thank you so much for being the best son to your dada @surpassinggoogle thanks for sharing your moments of life with us
This is terrible @sharolyn! You mean you can still plagiarize my comments. This is awfully not nice.
I'm sorry about this. Please give it one more shoot before giving up.
Please also try to be strong, in this case it may be difficult, but just try and be. The best is still to come.
Dealing with dementia must be painful... lots of tears to realize that your loved one forgets who you are. Knowing your story though encouraged me to show love to everyone i know before it is too late.
I have said it before and I will say it again, the future of #steemgigs is bright. My boss @surpassinggoogle is doing a great job. These basic functoonalities added are very great especially for freelancers.
Let's support the movement as we all have something to offer the community.
Opportunities! Opportunities!! Opportunities!!! That is what @steemgigs is to all Steemians so let us key into it as we all have something to offer.
Yes3!! I agree with you guys! We have our own different ways and expertise to contribute to the communtity and to steemgigs. Let us all be reunited to that site and show our individualities.. :) its a brand new movement made for all of us! :D
I agree with you too. It will probably bring opportunities to our fellow steemians to fly high.
Sure. I hope to explore the entire site today. I can't describe the over excitement I'm having right now honestly..
Thanks @surpassinggoogle for you consistent and persistent sacrifice.
May Jehovah grant you the strength you need to hold on.
We love you.
Very much agree with you. Truly @steemgigs team is a blessings for steemians.
I look forward to sharing my two cents, whatever it may be, i am all-support.
Every post of yours has a noble story to tell and wisdom to impact and I relish each because they are a piece of you.
In your spare time, you can check this out. I know you are a very busy person and could miss out on some posts. Thank you.
https://steemit.com/steemsecrets/@edith4angelseu/the-wonders-of-steemsecrets-what-wisdom-is-this
Yes!!!Finally it is ready to use the basics..
can't wait to @steemgigs all ready...Congratulations Sir Terry @surpassinggoogle and may Jehovah give you strength and bless you always..
A lot of efforts must have been put in place to realise the steemgigs dream. I love the patience you are exhibiting towards the development of the steemgigs platform. I am happy the team is headed by someone not too far from me. In fact, I can get to Ilorin in less than 8hours from my base to meet him. @jalasem is doing a nice work.
It's unfortunate your dad is passimg through a hard time now with his health. Please be strong and continue your efforts towards carimg for him.
This is awesome. I am glad to know steemgigs is rebuilding. Thank you so much for all you are doing. You have made so much difference in the lives of many here.
If I can use all my 30 witness vote to vote, I will vote you 30times. Just like you gat us, we will get your back and spread the witness "vote @steemgigs" as much as possible. Thank you.
