We’re looking for a couple of people to join us at ParkVu.
ParkVu is developing software applications that deliver on the promise of the mobile Internet experience by giving users the freedom to access their data at any time from mobile devices. It is the developer of i2b, the first application to give BlackBerry users remote access to their iTunes library.
Everything we do is dependent on the cloud so you’ll get a lot of exposure working with the Amazon Web Services (EC2, SQS, SDB and S3).
The first position is for a mobile developer. You know your way around at least one platform (e.g. RIM or Androiod) and are open to exploring more. See: http://www.waterlootechjobs.com/jobseeker/jobdetails.aspx?id=2785
The second position is for a solid .NET developer. You’re comfortable with asp.net and WCF. See: http://www.waterlootechjobs.com/jobseeker/jobdetails.aspx?id=2784

ParkVu
Not the FDR but an acronym for a key piece of ParkVu Technology.

We’re racing towards a new release of ParkVu Technology. As it typically happens with crazy and intense projects, particular words become meaningful along the way. It could be the lack of sleep, it could be the deficient diet, either way it’s entertaining. To me at least.
So here’s the first of the adventure in the transmundane — Fetch.

Tomorrow ParkVu the corporation will be officially one month old. Hopefully it will be warm enough for some patio coding to celebrate. How old do companies need to get until you stop measuring their age in months? I guess at least a year. Yes the parallels between a baby and a startup are pretty rampant. I’ll spare you the obvious diaper analogies.
Time has flown (good sign) and we’re really happy with our progress. I’m coming to terms with Ruby but still struggling to make the mindshift to a scripting language. Oh and Rubyists it’s nothing personal — I don’t like Python either. Turns out I’m a compiled language guy. Who knew?!!?
Terry and I have also been busy with a number of consulting assignments which has been fun and, um, enlightening. Last week we were in Washington, DC attending a financial services conference. The picture to the right is of the hotel lobby which was unbelievable. Yes those are two full-sizish houses down there.
I was amazed that I could step away from an industry for 2 years and return to find not much has changed. Sure there was lots of sub-prime doom and gloom in the conference sessions but it was the same faces, booths and issues. All ripe for revolution.
