Thank you for your suggestions.

All I know at this point is that they've had a younger guy build an app for them in Java and it doesn't work as well as they'd like it to. They said something about it outputting to Excel, and that right now they can watch it putting the data on the spreadsheet in real-time, which isn't desirable. Also, there was something about it being manual rather than automatic.

My work colleague has sold me to them as a Java guru, which might've been true 6 or more years ago, but I haven't used it in a while. They still have the original developer, but they think I might be able to teach him a thing or two. My Java experience was mostly web applications, so it's hard for me to say whether I'll have much value to add or not before looking at it.

I do well enough right now that I don't plan on chasing side gigs, but I'm not afraid of giving this a trial run.
