SEEKING WORK - REMOTE (based in The Netherlands)
Hi! I'm looking to get into the freelancing game. I'm currently employed so I'm looking for a part time gig (one day a week max) to test the waters. I've been developing since my teens, but always on the side. I now feel I'm ready to combine my product and development skills to build awesome stuff for others.
I like building tools that make people's (working) life easier. Building tools and small web apps to support people in their daily work is what I've been doing for the last couple of years, next to my work as a Product Manager. I think work like this suits my limited availability perfectly.
I build using 'full stack' Rails, started on Rails 2.3 in 2009 and have been a fan since.
You can contact me at [email protected]. I'm holding back a bit on giving out personal information here due to my ongoing employment, but can give you all my info in private.

Too bad there are many 'remote but inside the US' jobs posted. Anyone got a clue why that is?

The same is true for credit cards I guess, I have a Dutch cc and my bank always give me a better rate than for example PayPal.

Why only the US, really?
Re:Zencoder joins the Heroku Add-on catalog
on Wednesday November 10, 2010 @01:06PM (#1891245)
All their add-ons are based on either open source or third party solutions. You can keep using the open source solutions by simply installing them yourself and the third party solutions all have API's or even gems to work with.

Chrome actually reopens all tabs for you if you use the command after restarting chrome. I don't like the author's solution because I use cmd 1-9 for navigating between tabs.

Wow, I use one before_filter on my Heroku hosted app. Am I doing something wrong here, or is this just Heroku's awesomeness?

Google does have a banking license in The Netherlands, I was looking into this yesterday, but there is not much information available, I guess they are not using it. I still wonder why they got it though.

Re: Google Reader reader? Would you find this service useful?
on Wednesday August 11, 2010 @08:19AM (#1594453)
I've been looking for something like this. Often I read posts through either HN or someone's Twitter, while I'm also subscribed to the RSS feed. To have them automatically marked as read would be awesome.

Buy tickets for popular sport/music events, sell for double the money when the venue is sold out. Repeat.
Not that I agree with this kind of business from an ethics point of view, but it's easy money.

This goes for any electronic device that stores data. Even then it can be hard to completely erase your data, as recovery tools are always available.
