Durham gets a bit of a bad rep from the rest of the state, but it's an awesome little city on the quiet - in addition to the tech startup scene, it has a blossoming food truck community, a big arts scene, tons of bars, and they didn't bat an eyelid when my wife and I applied to get married by CCB Plaza in Pac-Man outfits last year :). (and on that note, when I finally get this damn visa, anybody in the area interested in hiring somebody with sysadmin / JavaScript/Ruby development experience? ;))

We (Spring Metrics) are indeed interested in hiring Ruby devs. http://www.springmetrics.com/jobs.html http://www.springmetrics.com/jobs.html When does the visa arrive? Can you bribe someone to get it faster? ;-)

  If only I knew! It should be relatively soon now (next month or so), but we've managed to hit so many bumps along the way, including a period where the visa application sat untouched in Texas for almost six months last year, that I don't want to jinx it :).

Definitely get in touch with me, we (Heroku) are hiring exactly that kind of person for the operations team that I run. The company is based in San Francisco, but my team is all remote and a couple of us live here in the triangle.
