I've about had it with my employer, thinking of leaving, and I'm looking for PHP, PostgreSQL, and MySQL gigs. I'm a USA citizen with great experience, and because of the 2000-2005 market downturn my salary is now fairly low enough to be competitive again.</p> Speaking of PHP, you know, I’d like to see more PHP opportunities open up at Ubuntu rather than just Ruby and Python gigs.

None of this is shameless promotion, it is work I am actively involved in. Just skip over the posts. Rest assured more Jokosher posts are coming soon. :)</p> David – sorry you see it that way – the last week or so has been quite an intensive Ubuntu week, so there has been more Ubuntu posts.

The strange thing is that before you started this flood, I was actually on your side with regards to personal posts on planets, it’s a great way to get to know people. But this have nothing to do with getting to know you, this is shameless promotion akin to spam.

I plead and beg you to save the planet.
