Fancy Hands | https://www.fancyhands.com | New York City - Full Time (onsite)
Fancy Hands is a personal assistant service. We've had a lot of good press, we're growing and we need some help.
We're looking to hire a python programmer to work on our back end. The ideal candidate would become our head of engineering.
Specific details: https://www.fancyhands.com/jobs/python-app-dev
We're also hiring front end developers: https://www.fancyhands.com/jobs/frontend-web
Fancy Hands is a small, profitable company trying to change the way people work. We'll won't call you a guru, ninja, or rockstar

Yeah. I like MTurk, but it's pretty impenetrable.

I sure hope this isn't the same type of hardware failure as the last one: http://thenextweb.com/apps/2012/09/05/recurly-suffers-hardwa...
We've actually started using redundant billing providers to handle this case. I'd hoped we'd never have to actually need it again though: http://www.fancyhands.com/blog/redundant-billing-information...

Found out from one of our users via twitter. We switched to EasyDNS after (one of the) the godaddy fiascos.
Hopefully they get it sorted soon.

It doesn't have a great way to upload from the desktop to G+, does it? I've been trying to figure this out for pics that don't originate on an android/iOS device.
I guess picasa can do it, but picasa leaves a lot to be desired.

It's one of the first times the whole service has been down, but parts of the service go down at least once a week. memcache, task queues are "elevated" with regularity and urlfetch is frequently down totally. ("elevated" generally means unusable).
Of course master/slave even has scheduled downtime.

It's fine, because they're at 100% availability. Just totally down: http://www.evernote.com/shard/s2/sh/64201bd8-5392-49fc-a47c-...

We plan a lot of people's dentists appointments (mine included). Even though I need to go to the dentist, I've got some mental block to actually schedule it myself.
(PS: Sounds like you were an enjoysthin.gs user, thanks for that!)
