Toronto, Canada; Kanetix - http://www.kanetix.ca

This month we're specifically looking for a developer with Java experience to work primarily on rating engines. You'd be working in a small team of 4 developers.

The majority of the work would be Java with some web development (our web stack: linux, apache, perl, oracle sql, memcached, html/css/js). An insurance background would be beneficial, but is not necessary.

Showed it to a non techie friend who loves to cook. Here's his amusing feedback...

  foodnetwork has an app where u can search a recipe then make a shopping list  
  that's useful
  an app that spits out random ingredients based on a search term does not impress me so much 
  search the term 'poo' in this amazing app then 'pee' 
  then 'shit' 
  no i know that bacon goes well with everything....but c'mon now

excellent, just appended '/html' to the default browser search engine url.

would be great if instead of having to use specific urls that this could be set up as a preference in settings. still, i'm a happy camper :)

familiar with html and css?

you could design the page to be completely fluid and use up to 100% of the screen width.

then use the meta viewport tag and/or media queries to size the page for mobiles. http://www.quirksmode.org/blog/archives/2010/09/combining_me...

used the technique here, only difference is i set max-width http://concertsto.com

does the job. ui doesn't look too great though.

why so small? countdown time should take up entire screen.

this. the "improved" image search is terrible. very finicky and even hard to use--hardly simple.

re: ddg. regular user, but as others have pointed out already the ajax load for results is annoying (because it's slow and flashy/jerky).

pretty much mirrors my outcome. some social anxiety, lone wolf tendencies, with situational/social awareness thrown in there. can't complain really, although makes me wonder how i would have turned out had it not been for the rough childhood

doesn't look too promising. let us know if you are successful.

never used posterous, but it looks more similar to blogger than wordpress. well suited for churning out a simple blog.
