We're not hiring at the moment, but ideally some of this takes off and we'll be in need of more lispers. If you're ever in town on vacation or something, drop me line (I've emailed you my contact info), and we could chat. @Holger: I'll make another post on that. My co-worker Nathan put that together, so I'll go over the details with him first to be sure I get it right. @patrick: I'll take a look at views, I didn't realize they were performance boosts. I did spend an inordinate amount of time futzing with the cache size settings, and I'm frustrated that all the advice I could google was basically "there are no guidelines, just futz with it until you're done!" @David: we’re stealthy!

My company hosts a lot of dynamic web servers like those using OpenACS ; but I have been meaning to get into Lisp "one of these days". Just a note about Postgresql performance: 1. use views wherever possible, as they are a) compiled b) reduce the amount of data that needs to go back and forth between client and server. 2. check the various cache size settings in the postgresql.conf file; tweaking some of these can give you very large performance boosts.

Why wasn't I told?! :-) Greetings from a Gator expat in Denver. I've been following your blog for a while now (via Planet Lisp), but I totally missed the Gainesville connection. If you're ever hiring, please let me know. My family is all in (and around) Gainesville and I'd love to get back there someday. Take a look at my blog for a taste of what I do. Mostly Java right now, but with a heritage of IBM mainframe assembler plus a passion for languages like Ruby, Python, Lisp, and Haskell / OCaml. I've never coded Lisp for money, but the century is young... P.S.: Sorry for the commercial, but I couldn't find an email address anywhere. Someone’s doing Lisp … in Gainesville?!
