I’ve been completely fed up with news/feed/rss/atom readers these days. I use Linux as my primary operating system, and I only have a few feeds that I want to rip through quick so I can get to reading the content. Yet, trying to find a reader that doesn’t suck donkey balls has been a chore.

Wanna know what all the Ruby vulnerabilities are? Or at least have a fun look at how to search through code for clues? It’s a blast.

I’m dropping a large blog post on everyone to just say that I haven’t died, I’ve just been busy working on my book for A/W about Mongrel. I had contracted with them to do a book about deploying Mongrel, but then decided it wouldn’t be a very good book since we’d already done one about that topic and there wasn’t too much more to say.

Update: 2008-03-17 @ 5:30PM Other people who work with me are looking as well. If you have RoR, C#, or Java positions, preferably stable positions let me know. Might even need to help some non-technical folks with manager experience too. Again, email me if you have anything.

My Bear Stearns Employees Need A Job

Well it looks like things are going very badly at Bear Stearns. As usual, other idiots running the company fucked it up for everyone else, and I really hope someone goes to jail for this shit.

Meanwhile, I have a few employees who work for me that will potentially need new jobs. I’m probably going to need one too, but I’ve gotta look out for my people first.

Right now I’m looking for Ruby on Rails jobs for other people who need to find work. Do not contact me about a job unless it is CTO of a shit kicking company.

What they are interested in is Ruby on Rails, salary positions, in the NYC or Boston area. The people on my team have very good skills in every aspect of building out a project, and they’ve worked under me so they’re battle hardened.

The project they worked on involved real world development, including unit testing, continuous integration, agile development, Vim, emacs, Linux usage, multi-platform development, and the project is multi-discipline involving usability studies, graphic design, protocol analysis, and system build-out automation. Huge parts of the system involved interactions with Samba and understanding complex business logic related to financial compliance and document storage for legal requirements.

These people worked on something much more complex and detailed than any social network, so they can easily handle your work.

And they did it all in less than about 5000 lines of code.

If you have potential gigs for anyone who works for me, (not me!) then email me. Head hunters welcome, but I’d prefer direct hires.
