1) Rails work is starting to heat up like crazy for us. If you are a really good, experienced web application developer, strong in Ruby on Rails and with good graphic design skills you should really contact me ASAP about applying to ThoughtWorks. Remember willingness to travel is mandatory, but you'd be working with one of the first and only world-class Rails systems integrators.

2) I'm entertaining the possibility of putting together an intensive one-day Advanced Rails workshop, probably here in Atlanta, sometime in the next month or two, with limited attendance. Basic Rails knowledge is a pre-requisite and I want to teach students best practices for running a small agile team using Rails, achieving clean separation of concerns and taking full advantage of the extensive amount of automated test coverage you can easily get in Rails. All based on practical experience, of course! So what I'm wondering: Is anyone interested in receiving that sort of instruction?

Whether or not I make the time to do an outside workshop, if everything goes according to plan, the advanced training is certainly similar to the material I'll be teaching to ThoughtWorkers around the world starting in a couple of months. First stop India, then China, then Oz. Desi almost killed me when I told her I was starting to plan the world tour already. Ouch -- she's the one that dreams about travel, not me.
