OpenID Sample Application Updated

27 Jul 2007

Jiiim Martin wrote me to ask about the changes that have happened to the openid plugin since I created my OpenID sample Rails application back in May. He pointed out some bug fixes that have occurred to the plugin, so I have updated my sample application to include those bug fixes, and you can download it here (the same location as before).

If you’d like a little more OpenID excitement in your life, check out Dr. Nic’s OpenID sample application that supports multiple OpenID URLs per user.



Sourcing the best resumes

20 Jul 2007

Do you have a resume? Do you like to send emails? Then do me a favor, and send your resume to me at one of the email addresses below. The applicant tracking and ranking system I’m building has support for receiving and parsing emails with attached resumes, and I need some testing content as I work on the resume parsing and search. If you send your resume to my resume catcher, you’ll also be helping me write my next blog post on searching data in your Rails application using Sphinx.

I have three “open positions” to which you can “apply”. I’m looking for resumes from web developers, web designers, and system administrators, so I can get a variety of source data for my tests. Here are the email addresses for the positions:

Thanks for your help!
