For anyone who needs some Ruby/Rails/HTML done in the near future, or knows
someone else who does...

I have some availability for two to three days a week, from late September. For
at least the first six weeks, as part of some wandering around the globe, I
will be based in Bătdâmbâng in Cambodia, so my involvement in any projects will
have to be done remotely (unless you happen to be in Cambodia as well, of
course).

If you need some indication of my experience - I've been working with Ruby and

m = Module.new
m.const_set("B", Class.new)
puts m.constants.inspect

*UPDATE*: I've received several offers of help. You can still offer if you
want, but I think I've got enough people to get this done. Thank you :)

Request for Server Assistance

I need a server set up for some pro-bono projects. Server management is not my
area of expertise, so I'd love if someone else could manage this, but if not, I
guess I'll figure it out myself. Yes, this is not paid work. The clients are
NGOs though, if that makes it more palatable.
