I have been consulting for a few months now, and have learned a lot of stuff. However, bills have to get paid and I want to buy a little house in Ithaca and stop working 80 hour weeks.

To wit, I am looking for a full time job.

I will consider work in the following areas:

• Development of flash applications for creative agencies. I am experienced in ActionScript 3.0
• Development of websites using modern tools, e.g. Ruby on Rails, PHP Cake or other mainstream PHP framework, WordPress, Java, Python, Bedework
• Development of social networking applications. I am especially interested in public event calendars

At a minimum prospective employers should be using version control or willing to start using version control for all projects. Subversion is preferred; cvs is acceptable if there are strong reasons why the switch has not been made yet.

I do not want to work with: IIS, windows servers, ColdFusion, ASP. I will not work with MS Access on any significant project (sorry, the SQL dialect is too weak and there’s no defensible reason not to upgrade to SQL Server 2005 Express). (I am willing to work with C#, though, I quite like it). I will reluctantly work with MS SQL Server – in fact the little I know about its SQL dialect I like, though GO instead of ; makes me think of Visual Basic and I shudder inwardly. One final thing. I will not work with Visual Basic.

I am more interested in large programming projects than small projects. I am more interested in public internet projects than intranet projects.

I am willing to accept a quite reasonable salary. I would like to stay in Ithaca and am willing to telecommute.
