A Few Tech-ish-Related Observations
Hi, reader. I wrote this in 2010 and it's now more than five years old. So it may be very out of date; the world, and I, have changed a lot since I wrote it! I'm keeping this up for historical archive purposes, but the me of today may 100% disagree with what I said then. I rarely edit posts after publishing them, but if I do, I usually leave a note in italics to mark the edit and the reason. If this post is particularly offensive or breaches someone's privacy, please contact me.
New Work City is a Manhattan coworking space/group that charges $25 for a desk for a day.
Floatleft: an international two-woman Drupal consulting firm that provides web development services to NGOs and nonprofits. Neat!
A similarly focused webdev firm is looking to hire.
KML or Keyhole Markup Language: an XML variant you use to mark up Google Earth or Google Maps.
Unfortunately, when you do a Google search for [gnome source control] or [version control gnome], instead of git.gnome.org, the first hit is the obsolete Subversion site (although it prominently calls itself OBSOLETE and directs you to git).

Fafner, they have other membership levels, and all memberships include "Free hosting, email, and file storage with RackSpace". I'm unclear on whether their part-time membership level limits the member to only a few days a week...
Flex space at Common Spaces is $200/month, so wouldn't that get you eight NWC days?

You are quite right. I cannot count. D'oh.
Yikes. $25 a day sounds pretty steep. I realize I have to pay by the month at Common Spaces (http://commonspaces.org), but for the amount I pay to get 30 days of 24/7 access there, I'd only get four days at New Work City. I guess that's Manhattan versus Brooklyn for you.
