Hello, I am currently looking at various internship opportunities for this summer. As my dream internship would be with a web design company that uses Ruby, I've decided to post this request to the ML. I live in Baltimore, MD. - While this limits local internships to Maryland, I would also enjoy participating in an online internship (ie. Work from home. Collaborate over web or phone). I am 17. - Maybe a little young, but don't stop reading here. I like to think I'm mature for my age. I am a fairly skilled programmer. - As there is so much to choose from, I have dabbled in everything. I can do CSS, X/HTML, JavaScript, DHTML, C/C++, Obj-C/Cocoa, Ruby (plus some minor php and perl stuff). Of course, my focus right now is in Ruby and it is my favorite language by far. I have experience in all major OS's. - Mac OS X (My home turf), Unix, Linux (many different distro's) and Windows. I spend most of my time troubleshooting these systems for people, so I have a fair idea of how each works. I have been using computers since I was 2. - I guess I'm part of the new digirati wave ... or whatever the media is calling it this week. I love computers, and everything associated with them. - Computers are fun! Programming is fun! Fun things are not work. Work can be the target of procrastination, fun things can not. In other words, I am reliable and will complete projects at the greatest possible speed. I do not need (much) pay. - My primary goal in seeking this internship is to gain more experience. Specifically, I would like to gain more experience in the area of web/interface design. I can program fairly well, and I can create usable interfaces, but I want to really learn how to create sleek, cool looking, designs. Please note that this is not a criteria for any internship, just a preference. Also, I would not expect any employer to actively teach me things. Rather, I'd probably pick them up as I go along (ie. just by working with them). I can't think of anything else. - Please let me know if you are in any way interested, and/or if you desire more information about me. I am stuck in this weird style of typing. - Ok I'll stop now. -Thanks for considering, Shalev (aka Pugio) ---

Are you still looking for an internship? I am the sole developer for a commercial web system that is entirely written in Ruby and a template system called clearsilver. Let me know and I could give you a ring to talk about it.

Sorry for the list reply, it has been a longer day than I thought.
