Ubuntu Ape

So, I’m leaving Slate Group, where I’ve been working for the past year on their new business site The Big Money. I’m moving on to Canonical, the makers of Ubuntu Linux, to work on their Online Services team developing Ubuntu One.

It will be good to get back to Python as my primary language of choice, to be a part of a fully-distributed workforce[1] again, and to be working with newer, more cutting-edge technologies.

[1] Anyone in a partially-distributed work environment would do well to read The Pond. It struck painfully close to home for me. At Slate Group, I often felt like The Remote Guy™, working from home, while my colleagues shared the office in Arlington. At Socialtext, all the devs were remote, so everyone felt pressure to communicate clearly and timely.
