I've had success in interviews initially linking to my github repo and letting the interviewer view for themselves what I can accomplish. It has been a good diving board when you start talking in person.
That's one of the things I enjoy most as a programmer is having the tools to easily monitor my output (LOC per day or something) but also the power to improve or create better tools.
I love this idea and love the challenge, but would love to make it less hackable as well.

Looking for a few more PHP developers (or interns) to help with platform and end-to-end feature development. LAMP stack, but a bit of Python on backend, working on integrating Redis/MongoDB.
We're a full-service ticket sales company trying to make it easier and cheaper to sell tickets.
On OSX with MacFuse and SSHFS, I've done plenty of remote work before on LAN servers and "internet" servers. It definitely works, but is slow. But for being able to open up a "local" file in Vim/text editor and then save it, the only time you are hitting the network is during the save and that can be slow.
Transmit 4 integrated this functionality into their FTP client, auto-mounting of SSH connections, but it definitely seems more crashy than MacFuse to me.

For personal use, this would be fine, but it's much easier to share paper books at work.
The distinct neighborhoods and main areas are very true. I think my largest complaint about Pittsburgh has been learning where stuff is going and what's going on. Knowledge about the city seems so hidden and not well organized online. Yelp usage is lukewarm.
The other problem with all the distinct areas is how spread out they are, having a car is critical IMO to get around. Public transit (only busses basically) seem terrible.
In terms of food, there definitely is a good variety of cultures and has kept me busy sampling things. Huge amount of German culture foodwise and beerwise, having the Hoffbrau Haus around is excellent.
Girls seem pretty normal, plenty of em around, I found a girlfriend without much trouble.
Overall, the city has grown on me through the pains I've taken to learn what is fun to do.
(I'm a Debian guy) I used 'dpkg -l' to check what all I had currently installed and narrowed down what packages I was still using. Check /etc/init.d for start up scripts. Hard files on disk are easy to migrate, live migrating MySQL data is more tricky, but my personal sites don't really have that much going on. I always keep a .tar.gz of the entire server for future reference.
Move over as much as possible and try to get things running. Save your .bash_history and get a build script going. Pull any /etc/ config files you are missing. Reinstall your required packages. Test your new site via editing /etc/hosts, then move the DNS. Watch your logs and look for 404 erors for files you didn't copy over correctly.
It takes time, but if you use an organized and repeatable process, it can take less time in the future.
I can't think of any other new features SliceHost has rolled out in the last 6 months.
There is another Perl library on github that supports pretty much everything Reader does.
The Reader API has unofficially existed for awhile, but they don't seem to mind you using it. They just added OAuth support a few months ago as well.
Anyone have a referral code they would want to me use?
