Called and emailed both. No response back yet. Grrr.

Found an amusing joblisting on LinkedIn. Allow me to excerpt:
Quote:Sick of hearing about Java and .Net? Bored at work? Tired of bureaucracy and corporate bullshit? We have the medicine. Try the fun and exciting world of peer to peer content distribution. Work on tough theoretical and practical problems, in unconventional software stacks, with real languages, like C. No pluses, even.

...

What are some good indicators this is the job for you?

* You can appreciate the humor in Gnutella's architecture. Comparatively, Freenet is fascinating.

* Gcc is your bitch.

* You enjoy solving complicated problems by thinking about them (as much as experimenting, debugging, or throwing things at the wall is fun too).

* You know TCP/IP down to the bits. Packet sniffers used to be fun, now they're boring.

...

* You know how not to destroy your MySQL while still running hundreds of statements per second.

...

If this sounds like you, give us a call. Why write boring code when you don't have to? Smile
Sadly, it doesn't sound like me. But it sounds like a great place to work.
ETA:  They're in the greater NY area; if anyone is actually interested, drop me a line and I'll forward you the full listing.
