Hi there -- I'm a web programmer at a company called Second Story Interactive here in Portland. I'm new to this mailing list (I only started digging into Ruby about a month ago), but our company has a job opening and I thought that people on the list might be interested to hear of it.
It's not specifically a Ruby position, but rather a position that requires a flexible programmer who is willing to learn new languages and technologies as projects demand them. If you know anyone who might be interested please pass the information along. Thanks!
