This is a RubyConf 2011 presentation showing the use of algorithms as a way to improve one's craft, by Jamis Buck of 37signals. It's pretty cool. You should watch it.

An acquaintance of mine is looking for someone to tutor/guide/mentor him on the subject of threading. He seems like he's got a fairly introductory knowledge of the subject, so he's looking for a "guru". (If you've taken CS at WSU and covered the subject in much depth, you probably qualify.)

He's willing to pay for your time, though you'll have to establish the terms of the contract with him directly.

He's most comfortable with Java, but other languages may be suitable.

Contact me as 'samba' in #wsulug on Freenode, or as 'optikknight' via AIM.

A local business person is setting up a hylafax server with a web-based front end. She needs help installing and configuring up the servers and designing the web interfaces as well as implementing a backup and recovery strategy for the servers. She would like remote configuration services designed so that she can manage the servers from wherever she is.

An example of the web services to be provided can be seen at http://www.faxme4free.net/newindex.html
