Medsphere is hiring! We are on the lookout for sharp software/UI developers right now to work in Orange County, California. We have a full job description up, but I’ll attempt to summarize from a “in the trenches” perspective:

The R&D team is busy implementing all sorts of GUI components of the healthcare experience. We recently open sourced OpenVista CIS, which is the project I’ve been working on the past year and half, and we will be doing continued development on that, as well as working on several other components needed to flesh out the healthcare experience. The perks include:

• Working on a project that can have a huge impact on the health and welfare of thousands of individuals.
• Working in a fun, flexible environment using open source technologies. The UIs are written in gtk#, but we’re looking for anyone with UI design experience. You can pick up gtk+/gtk# easily if you’ve done UI development before.
• Enjoying beautiful, sunny southern California. If you need convincing, it’s a gorgeous 75F out right now. If you’re not out here already, we can certainly try to work something out to get you out here.

If you’re at all interested, please mail your resume to me at pete.johanson@medsphere.com

At the end of last summer, I start going to this indoor rock climbing gym, Rock City, a few times a week. The first night I was there, I saw some folks doing slackline there. I’ve been intrigued ever since. I’ve been really working on it a lot the past few months. I’m slowly starting to get there:

I’ve got the original version up here (beware, about a 12 MB file). Fun!
