People could work from anywhere they would like: their homes, libraries, coffee shops or even summer cottages - actually they could be living anywhere around the globe! This idea is not new, but I think now could be the time to start putting it to practice.

Very cool, but I'm currently working for <a href="http://elevatedrails.com" rel="nofollow">another Chicago-based Rails shop</a> and quite happy. I'll have to talk to the boss about those 4-day work weeks though. :)</p> Do you mean their job opening? Very cool, but I’m currently working for another Chicago-based Rails shop and quite happy.

With centralized larger companies, finding a job in your area becomes even more challenging. The problem with the entire employee/job search process are the participants. (This may be one case where the government could ensure more fairness, etc.) There is networking (codeword for "Do you know someone I know?" - a perpetuation of racism, sexism, xenophobia, etc.), there is "local candidates" (I will not pay to interview a distant candidate, cheap company, etc.), and there is "Do you know this module of this software?" - since I have no clue what it is and have no ability or patience to teach you anything. A sad commentary on 9/11.</p> The quality of management is strained. With centralized larger companies, finding a job in your area becomes even more challenging.

I have released a beta version of a real estate search in the columbia area written entirely in Ruby on Rails. The Leo Windham Agency is offering an online search of residential real estate listings in the Columbia South Carolina area. It may be several more weeks before the application is complete, but is now fully functional. This application also offers agents the ability to log in and create their own profile pages with their listings displayed. Also the application provides syndication for agents to google housing via an XML feed. I am about 300 hours into it so far and expect to put another 300 into it before it is all said and done. This is a one man operation. Please have a look and provide me with some feedback and suggestions on how it can be improved. I would love to hear more about your position with the company in Chicago. It is good to see web developers in Columbia South Carolina on the cutting edge. You can visit the real estate search at <a href="http://mls.leowindham.com" rel="nofollow">mls.leowindham.com</a> or go to the main site and listen to some great music as well. Free podcasts and live streaming beach, boogie and blues music. <a href="http://www.leowindham.com" rel="nofollow">LeoWindham.com</a>. I do apologize if this seems like a shameless advertisement, but as a columbia native I wanted to reach out and share my work with another Columbia resident who enjoys Ruby on Rails Development.
