Someone else is looking for a Developer…

From an old coworker:

Hi gang –
Local company / good friend needs a developer with passion for the web and the following skills, at $65k-$85k DOE:

2+ years ASP.NET / C#
2+ years SQL Server stored procedure development
Current advanced Microsoft certification (MCSD, MCSE, etc). a nice to have.
1+ year(s) Flash / Object-Oriented ActionScript is a nice to have.

If they are interested at all in learning action scripting that is good enough ; ) The MS cert. is really not a big deal if they are an MS pro or play around in a lot of different areas. Reports directly to dev director. Fun environment, web-focused, great colleagues. All other dev skills a plus, plus.
$150 to you if your pal or your pal’s pal is the one  ; ) Have them send info to me directly. We all know a developer stuck in a sad, lonely situation with no coffee on-site somewhere ; )
You’ve done your good deed for the day.
Jordan
Regards,
Jordan Lynne Peterson

More Virtualization rumors – OS 10.5 with Windows XP API

This was originally posted on Slashdot so many of you may have already read it. http://www.pbs.org/cringely/pulpit/pulpit20060420.html

Cringley writes that one possibility that may come out of 10.5, in addition to a completely new kernel, is utilizing the Windows API – which they should have had access to due to the ’97 five year deal between Microsoft and Apple – and integrating it into the new version of the OS. This would allow users to run Windows XP applications in 10.5 without the need to install the entire bloated OS. I’m not quite sure how well this would work for applications that need DirectX (read games), but this is definitely an interesting theory. I agree with others here that virtualization is the holy grail of IT right now. How it pans out between VMWare, Parallels, and others will certainly remain an interesting topic.
