I need to hire people!
Posted by Michael Buffington on July 16, 2007 at 01:35 PM
A project I'm working on, which, while not totally a secret, will remain so here so that I might have an opportunity later to break the story, needs help from people with skills.
Specifically, I'm looking for an excellent web designer. Like one who really gets CSS and XHTML, but also wields a might sword in Photoshop and thinks about every single pixel.
I'm also looking for a Ruby on Rails developer who would love nothing more in life than to build games using Ruby and Rails.
Check out each job post here (designer, developer), send your resumes and your friends' resumes to me.

Because postfix replaces sendmail entirely, it works seamlessly with Ruby on Rails as the default outgoing mail handler.
