Evil or Not? for sale

Some time ago, I launched the Evil or Not? website. My plans were to add lots of features in the next months and make it popular, but I could never find the time necessary for this. Given the number of projects and things I have currently going on, it’s unlikely that I will ever be able to do anything more than check from time to time that it’s still running. Which is a pity, since I still think it’s a cool idea and could attract some traffic if properly developed and promoted.

So, the options are to either let it float for some more time, or try to find someone who is willing to raise it to new heights. In this case, I’m ready to give away the idea, the domain name, the code and all the data (5 months of trends), for a reasonable price. Ideally, I would like to find someone who is able to broker a good deal, but I’m ready to accept direct offers.

From a technical point of view, it’s just a simple Ruby on Rails web application with a PostgreSQL database underneath (but could be ported to something else like MySQL in minutes).

In case you’re interested, just drop me a note.

We’re hiring…

We still don’t have a logo (more on this later), but yes, we’re hiring.

We’re looking for developers who would like to work for a small company with a strong orientation towards Open Source, as in wanting to actively participate in Open Source communities and give back as well as take. We like agility, focus, getting real. We like to communicate openly: Open Source is mostly about communicating with your peers, after all. We have strong international ties, so you could find yourself traveling a bit, mostly across Europe, but we can also offer telecommuting arrangements if you like working from home.

We would like you to know most of the buzzwords in the enterprise Java world, like JDBC, JMS, JAXP, Spring, Hibernate, JDO; to know your way around the 1st and the 2nd generation Web, starting with HTTP and HTML and going through XML, XSLT, XPath, XQuery, REST, Web Services; to have a strong background in OOP theory and relational databases.

We’re looking for both junior and senior developers, designers and architects. So we expect you to know by heart most of what I listed above, but even if you’re fresh out of college don’t worry. If you have a good background and are willing to learn, we’re ready to teach.

If you’re interested, send your resume (in text, HTML or PDF formats only; any other format will be rejected immediately) to recruitment@sourcesense.com. We’d love to hear your story.
