Web designer position in Huddersfield anyone?

A long shot, but my 8-month-pregnant friend Clare Quartermaine runs QT Creative, web design and marketing company in Huddersfield, and one of her HTML/Flash designers is leaving in 4 weeks.

If you read this, and know someone in the Huddersfield area with HTML, CSS, Flash skills, and maybe a smattering of basic PHP and Javascript, starting salary around the £18K+ mark depending on experience, then do get in touch (info at qtdm.co.uk)

MogileFS+MAID and lwqueue

A quick round up of recent blog posts of interest to me…

  • Using MogileFS and MAID is a short post about an interesting idea – using MogileFS as a replication layer on top of a redundant MAID units.
  • Next up, lwqueue, “a lightweight, language agnostic TCP based message queue system with Perl, Ruby, and Python client libraries”. Geograph uses a message queue but doesn’t quite need the performance this offers, but it looks good for situations where you want high asynchronous message traffic between software systems on different hosts
