Re: Job Posting (New York City): Senior Developer to collaborate on advanced open-source WebDAV servers

Hi Tim,

Working at Lime Wire sounds wonderful. I use your tool and I love it. I am
going to contribute. I am ashamed I have not done so yet.
I don't think I have what you need for the WebDav opportunity. I did do some
extensive Jakarta Slide playing a while back and I wrote a front end to
BEA's content repository in Java but I am just learning Rails. I would like
to offer you my resume though and let you know that I am a good guy and a
talented developer. I am looking to relocate to a more happening part of the
country around May of 2007. NYC is extremely cool I'm sure.

Well thanks for your time. Let me know if you come across something I might
be able to help with there.

Cheers,
Mike
