[rails-oceania] Yammer on Rails
Yammer.com Rails Guru Hey all, I'm the CTO and Co-founder of Yammer.com. I'd heard there may be some good ruby devs here so I thought I'd drop a note and see if there might be anyone interested in opportunities to stretch your skills stateside. At Yammer, we're pushing over 200M requests per day through the work of art that is Yammer's RoR app. What are we doing at Yammer? We're changing the way people work, one company at a time. We believe just because you leave your home and go to work doesn't mean your tools have to suck. We also believe companies don't have to be as siloed and dysfunctional as they tend to be today. Yammer is building the Enterprise Social Network. Think Facebook for inside your company. Yammer is the tool that keeps your whole company connected. What we're attempting to build is extremely complex. A high throughput, low latency, communication system where relevancy and discoverability is paramount. Besides our large Rails codebase, we rely heavily on languages and technologies such as Javascript, Scala, Postgres, Riak, BerkeleyDb, Memcache, Redis, NodeJS, RabbitMQ, etc... At Yammer, engineers are heavily involved in the product development process and have a lot of autonomy in deciding how things should be built. Due to the complex and new nature of what we're building, we are only accepting applicants who are willing to relocate to the heart of the tech startup world, San Francisco, CA. We take care of relocation and sponsor visas. Comp ranges from $100-150k depending on skill level and includes stock options. Yammer offers all the usual amenities including free beer, catered lunch and dinner 5 days a week, health, 401k etc... If you are at all interested in even inquiring about what it's like to work here, the technologies we use, or what opportunities there may be for you, feel free to drop me a line. I'm not a recruiter so I won't bite. Just email me at a...@yammer-inc.com.

[rails-oceania] Re: File repository request
If I'm reading it correctly, a full apt-mirror for a single architecture of Natty is ~70Gb. I'll have a go downloading i386 as this is the setup I'll be bringing but: - I haven't done this before; hopefully following the instructions online I'll get it right - Don't know whether it will be downloaded in time Taufiq On Jun 6, 11:21 pm, Andrew Grimm wrote: > I only have wireless internet connections, not fixed line, so I can't > help you out. > > Andrew > > > > > > > > On Mon, Jun 6, 2011 at 11:09 PM, Ben Hoskings wrote: > > The problem with this is that you can install ubuntu itself, but you can't > > get any packages or even update the apt index without a full apt mirror, > > which is freaking massive (I think they're ~50GB each).

Re: [rails-oceania] RC9 - speaker system for Wii / GuitarHero
Cheers to Michael & Snapper for their suggestions - unfortunately Michael's is too "worksite" (big) & Snapper's, while nice, was too feature-full & exxy (http://store.apple.com/au/product/H4029X/A/Bowers-and-Wilkins-Zeppelin-Air?fnode=MTY1NDA1NA&mco=MjEyMjkwMTg). So I'm getting one of these: http://store.apple.com/au/product/H2453X/A/Logitech-Rechargeable-Speaker-S715i?fnode=MTY1NDA1NA&mco=MjAzNDgxODg Partly because it does alright in the reviews, and partly 'cause the Apple Store is probably the only tech place left open at this hour. I imagine it's not gonna be the most awesome thing for GuitarHero, although having never played, I'm not sure. You still have time to come forward and tell me of the grand system that you'll be bringing!
