I wish there were more jobs. The 30 results here are a bit underwhelming...

If you are looking there are several other good resources out there: http://giscareers.com/ with thousands of jobs world wide and http://www.gjc.org/ which is mostly US but a few thousand as well, are the first to come to mind.

Agreed. There are a lot of GIS jobs out there but unfortunately many of them are technician level rather than developer/engineer. Of the developer positions I do see posted, most of them are for ESRI/.NET. If it wasn't for FOSS4G I'd assume that there were few non ESRI GIS developers out there!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Site loads really quick (from AU), which is actually a plus. I miss these older style sites without all the cruft. :(

Certainly -- but I reckon you could improve the style without too much of an overhead.

Just changing the colors and the header image would go a long way.

Probably not intentional, but that title made me think of Yosser Hughes from Boys From the Blackstuff:

I love this site - it just screams everything I associate with GIS from the second you set eyes on it.
