pfft, there's only so much one can do in an hour before getting
back to my primary purpose here, ingesting coffee and hacking major
amounts of code. :)

Seriously though, if someone wants to work at a place where innovation
is encouraged and where changes made to open-source projects can
be released without a second thought we'd like to talk to you.

If you're a junior code hacker interested in getting a taste of
operating system design (yes I work on the FreeBSD kernel), and/or
database design (we've contributed some work back to the Postgresql
project), and perhaps working on the php core (I have several
features planned that I'd like to implement RSN) then we'd love to
have you aboard. The only catch is that you have to be in the area
or willing to move out here.

By the way, can anyone suggest a better way to format the SQL in that
post? that's the general style I've moved to over here, it's pretty
ugly but it sure beats the one long super-line that I see most
people doing... Indenting it to the current level of indentation
doesn't really come out nicely either.
