I am hoping to get a job working for Photo.net and Philip Greenspun. I started applying in December, but got derailed. My hard disk died, I started getting a lot of consulting work, and I didn’t get back to the project.

I noticed they took down the ad for a programmer at the beginning of March, and I got incredibly upset and sad. But I am still hoping to get the job and I am going to be completing the application. Stay tuned.

Now that I’ve finally put this post up, I am just going to complete the job application (which involves creating a small web service) and hope that I get offered a job. I have been in correspondence with Philip and I guess that they would still consider hiring me, even though they have found programmers in the interim.

Where I am at now: I got my Fedora bootloader back and am able to run Fedora on my laptop. I started learning Ruby on Rails, which I like a lot. I am going to take some time this week to work on my project for them and see where it goes. I am a bit intimidated by the 253 tables in the ACS, a lot of which see to have to do with managing ad content. It certainly seems like this system was written 10 years ago.

I like Ruby on Rails, there are a lot of neat things about it. db:migrate, scaffold, testing…
