I am web developer who specializes in Ruby on Rails contracts and works remotely from my home office. Currently looking for new projects, I’m open to conversations about new contract possibilities. My company is Silverchair Solutions, an agile web development consultancy. I have over 13 years of web development experience and two and a half years of Rails experience. Recently some of my work was published in the Advanced Rails Recipes book (Pragmatic Programmers – see the wizard chapter!). I am a former Oracle DBA and am very comfortable designing databases as well as configuring linux/mac os servers in support of my web applications.

If you have a project that you think I may be able to help you with, please send me an email with a short description of what it is you need done and we will chat!

Thanks, Mike

If you look carefully under the .Mac settings for Leopard, there is a “Back To My Mac” option. This basically wraps up all of the things like dyndns, etc into one easy to use package. Its really cool! Now I just need to have two machines running Leopard. I wonder if I can hack Tiger to use this?

A few days ago I was diligently working on some rails projects I have going, and I heard a huge THUMP. It seems that one of the trees in my front yard decided to break off and hit the roof. Luckily no real damage was done (other than a gutter), but I did have to go to Lowe’s and buy the ultimate man toy — a chain-saw. Otherwise there is no way I could have cleaned up the 25 foot long monster that was lying up against the house. I am glad no-one was under that!
