I'm an web developer who often works with WordPress to roll out client sites. I currently have more work than I can manage to push out the door on schedule on my own, and am looking for someone to skin templates based on my designs. Which, happily, tend to be pretty straight forward. If you have a good working knowlege of CSS standards and are familiar with WordPress themes, none of this will be complicated. Very few of these are even require themes from scratch; layouts are often based on existing themes already in place. So if you're looking to pick up extra money and have a few hours a week, please let me know your hourly rate by email or MeMail along with some reference sites and we'll go from there. Please note that this gig is offered on a work for hire basis.

"You've got to be willing to change more than you love your code—mistakes are good, rapid iteration is great." We heard the hype, we tried it for ourselves, and we've taken the plunge—we're all in with Ruby on Rails. More joy, less code. Convention over configuration. The whole bit. Better than all that: we're having fun actually building a business around something useful and exciting to designers and digital photographers. Are you somebody who knows exactly what we mean? LuckyOliver, a Campbell, California-based digital photography web site, is looking for a programmer who gets what we're trying to do with the business and knows right how to make it sing on Rails. You've got to be a stellar thinker who knows how move from brainstorm to prototype quick—it's all about momentum. You've got to be willing to change more than you love your code—mistakes are good, rapid iteration is great. You need to be articulate and a good writer—so that the whole team gets it. Things you'll need to know: * Ruby on Rails * MySQL * Subversion We'll help you get into our setup and learn anything you are unfamiliar with. This is a very good environment for an experienced Ruby programmer who is hot to trot with scalability solutions. This position is available immediately, pays competitively and is full-time. You'll be working in our offices in downtown Campbell, where we have parking spaces, a Wii and a good attitude. We're a creative, fun-loving, hard-working team and if you thrive on the energy (read: chaos) of a startup environment, you'll like LuckyOliver. We're a startup founded on a business (ZURB) that's been around for 8 years (read: eons), so we're not going anywhere.

Two Tits and a Vote A website designed to help women translate quick online activities into real-world political activism. For the first campaign, we're rallying for better access to breast health care for women in Ireland. You can sign the petition in under a minute, download and personalise and print a letter in under 5, or buy the world's most awesome postcard ever online and we'll put your text on it and post it off to the Minister for Health for you. Send booby postcards to a politician - you know you've always wanted to! But most importantly, make your tax euros and your vote count towards demanding the services women need, where we want them.

Please help me dramatically update my chosen perfumes. The problem is: my favourite scent is the smell of... soap.

As crude hit an all time high at $96.40US per barrel this week, prices increase at pumps across the US. Regular self-serve rose 9 cents to an average of $2.80 per gallon in 11 Texas cities this week, a price of €0.51 per litre. Even Arab nations are feeling the pinch; in Syria, subsidised fuel prices were increased by 20% to €0.74 per litre. This price is "still low compared to world prices", though. The Automobile Association has a handy reference chart for Europe: drivers in the UK are paying an average of €1.37, and Danes €1.40. Latvia, though, is a European bargain at just €1.00 per litre.
