Paid Drupal services

I am working with a client, and will be installing Drupal for the first time on my own (I've always worked for people who paid developers to install it). I want to hire someone, billed by the 1/2 hour, to answer questions for me, and guide me through this process. Looking for someone who is busy doing other things, and is willing to shoot me an email answer or chat/IM when I run into problems that I am not familiar with.

Hey gang,

I'm currently planning a new Drupal-based site and I'd like to speak to web designers who have experience in creating PHPTemplate based Drupal templates. I have about US$400 to spend on creating and coding the design, so I'm not sure how much I can get for that. :)

I need a quote to duplicate the functionality of http://www.starnow.com

Our agency will be doing the design work and we have completed design on the drupakl architecture before. Please quote on programming.

thanks,
dave

Hi
There is an ajax chat module at (http://drupal.org/node/27689?time=1153499782) it has a few bugs (it uses login instead of sessions) and i really do need this chat so users can chat with there buddies i feel this module is really needed by drupal. I don't know much php but i want to pay who ever can port this thing to 4.7 and make it work.
This is pretty urgent
Thanks

I am building a site that needs lots of interactivity to be successful. Now when somebody is added as a buddy, the person being added has no real time way of knowing they have been added as a buddy by another user (they have to manually click the "buddies of" link). What we need is a hearbeat indicator somewhere on the main pages that kind of pings the buddies table to see if a user has added you to there buddy list.
