Currently accepting new work!
I really like the shout out technique. Seems like a great way to spread the happiness and make others know that you care :)

I'd be interested in finding out the success rates. Connections are good, but will they accept you and will you be good enough? That's the challenge and there doesn't seem to be any guarantee.

I build web applications (usually Ruby on Rails & PHP) and iOS applications.
