well not high for europe, maybe berlin but in hamburg 5 years of expertise could very well get you 60k+

Quite possibly but there is no way 60k is the minimum as stated above.

no ... i have no clue but i dont think i know anyone seriously making 10k as a software developer ... i think i dont know anyone making above 5k in a real startup (and that includes various technologies and experience levels)

Wow Estimote sounds horrible. Who the hell would want that as a customer???

my hat is off to you if you are able to sell all the 16 hours that you're awake every day to someone for 100$ each without dropping in productivity and maintaining mental well beeing.

Could you elaborate a little bit on the industry you are servicing and/or the specific problem domains?

also: where is the company located (i'm asking for tax, health insurance reasons etc.) ?

We're US-based and this position is ideally suited for someone in Europe due to the timezone we need. Support is mostly troubleshooting installs remotely, and development focuses on networking and low-level media elements. A note on support: we work hard to try and automate support, so the reason we ask devs to take on support issues is that it helps us focus on not having to do support for an issue once we've automated/fixed it. We also love having a direct connection to every customer, it makes the work more meaningful (though we find it really interesting in itself).

And are you looking for a direct employment of someone from europe or a contractor agreement? it is my understanding that it's quite a bit of paperwork for US companies if they have no local branch in a memberstate of the european union.

i'm asking because it sounds interesting (and i'm german ;) ) and i'm looking for a new gig as a software developer right now.

This is a contract opportunity at least to start with. Could you get in touch and we can talk more? I'd love to know what you're looking for and see if it's a match.

After doing a quick google search of zuvikomx I'm pretty sure the company's located in Mexico City, Mexico.

We were previously looking for someone in Mexico to help a local office there, we're US-based.

Are you still looking for someone in Mexico?

Yes absolutely, we'd be really happy to speak to anyone in Mexico.

just a heads-up for you. 1&1 will disable php4 too this year! ;)

Yea, that's tomorrow actually according to email I got from them. I'll see what that means when it happens, I'm the only user, and if I have to recode it, I will. I didn't keep up-to date on PHP, but it seems PHP5 is mostly backwards compatible.

awesome service!

any chance of getting a good ol' boring office version maybe with a real monitor or just a laptop on a desk? the kind of people i would use this for really dont go for "macbook air with a notepad in the garden"

seems like this is "only" the art and the .cfg files for usage with the anura [1] engine.

i think there is. the .cfg files include some kind of instructions, probably for the engine.

plus much more ram, faster drives and the fact that newer cpus get more done even at comparable clockspeeds ... and there's your 60x

manual mail list management. and i'm not joking. i know of various companys that have some intern or apprentice doing their mailing list management by hand if they come around to do it.

While I don't think that's the case I was asking about in question, that's horrible. I can't imagine assigning an intern to something as important, yet technically trivial as mailing list management. It could be very easily automated.
