We are hiring at the office. It’s in Franklin, non-telecommute and LAMP.
The linked description basically sums it all up, but I’ll divulge a little more. We are looking for a mid-to-junior person: anywhere in that range. While being a Perl junkie would be cool, we are open to all types of experience. [...]

With 253 Gigabytes of storage, my new machine is alive. I have named it thermopoly.
