Meebo is hiring sysadmins! http://www.meebo.com/jobs/openings/serveropsengineer/

Any chance you would be open to a remote SA? I'm pretty darned good, but also I really don't want to relocate to California.

If it helps, I've worked for a partner from one of the funds in your series-A round (we were acquired ~ 2.5 years ago).

SurveyMonkey in Palo Alto, CA. http://hire.jobvite.com/CompanyJobs/Careers.aspx?c=q7X9VfwS&... Feel free to email me - timc at surveymonkey - if you have any questions about the role.

It sounded exciting to me, until the "and pretty good with Win 2003/2008" part.

I do appreciate that you have a pretty comprehensive description of the technologies in use and the work environment. It helps everyone not waste time needlessly.

Agreed. I was also interested until I saw that.

Remember The Milk is looking for a sysadmin. We're in Sydney, Australia, but you can work from anywhere. http://www.rememberthemilk.com/about/jobs/sysadmin.rtm

Have you started responding to job applications yet?

I've had friends apply for positions (with amazing, enticing and fun cover letters), and then, after a week or so of hearing nothing following up to ensure that you've received their application only to to continue to hear complete silence.

Sending even a form rejection email takes no time at all, especially if you create a task reminding you to do so. Not responding when someone has put in a large amount of effort to create a tailored resume and unique & fun cover letter is extremely rude.

I switched task manager over this treatment and makes me embarrassed to call myself an Aussie.
