I don't like to retire and tell people who ask me that I spent my time making it possible for people to share more cat pictures. I would love to work on something a bit more meaningful. My goal with the master's was to end up in a multidisciplinary team where I could support scientists.
Currently in the process of getting a Master's Degree in Biomedical Engineering (mostly doing image analysis, coming from a Bachelor in Computer Science) and looking for a new challenge. Besides the two degrees I have worked for 2 years on web applications and web security development and have a four year apprenticeship (large scale Java web application) under my belt.
Or of course you could offer me good working conditions, a mentor and some time/money for conferences and other educational things, that would work, too.
I have extensive experience in large scale Java web applications from my four year apprenticeship in a big international bank. But I also have worked with Ruby on Rails and Javascript. In my free time I like to investigate new approaches to developing web applications. For example I am currently testing the waters with ClojureScript and Om, where I am trying to visualize herd immunity with WebGL.
So if you are looking for someone who likes to push the boundaries, doesn't accept "acceptable" as a solution and loves to learn new things (not just programming related!) then you should drop me a line so we can talk.
The only relocation restriction is that I want to continue working on planet Earth.

I don't like to retire and tell people who ask me that I spent my time making it possible for people to share more cat pictures. I would love to work on something a bit more meaningful. For example supporting scientists with visualization or replacing Excel files with a webapp. Considering my Biomedical Engineering background, biologist would be a perfect fit, but I would also accept mathematicians, physicists, and other scientists. As long as I can learn something new, preferably not just programming related.

There were people rallying against slave masters. Yes, back when it was still legal to own slaves. Do you say these activists had nothing to do with abolishing slavery? Do you say they were wrong to be mad at slave masters because it was the law back hen?
It is included within Amazon. I'm not sure how I could extract that information (does Heroku have a known static IP range?). Right now, the script uses the following command and looks up under OrgName: whois -h whois.arin.net 'n ip-address-here'.
Some big companies do, just not the ones you'd probably care to work at. If they make this choice they simply lose out on a certain set of individuals. Their loss, not yours.
I could see a feature were the server side will just be a PaaS-like service, where only the client side code is needed anymore. Database persistence, handling of static assets and all that will be done by the platform, and most people won't know how it works or care.
For example Meteor goes into this direction, though there is still some server-side code involved, most of it is shared with the client, including database access.
Of course we still have long way to go to really abstract this out this far, but I think it will be possible in the future.
To be fair, especially the landing sequence (the only thing they couldn't really patch) was very well defined from the start. They knew exactly what the Rover had to do, when he had to do it and what steps were involved.*
Generally software just doesn't work that way. (But maybe that was that you implied with "some contexts". In that case, I agree with you)
* I'm not saying they weren't trying out things until they decided how to land the Rover, but when they wrote the software they had very clear requirements.
The bar code was actually just a code to initialize the code generation (I think it is based on that randomly generated seed and the time, so that then server and client generate the same keys). You could have also typed in the code by hand.
I'm always dumbfounded when these topics come up and a lot of people start saying how inconvenient it is, that it is all wrong. But these are probably the same people which later accuse Google that they didn't do enough to protect their accounts!
Yes, two factor authentication is a small hassle. Yes, two factor authentication requires a bit to set up. But do you realize how much actually depends on your email account being safe?
For one, how many times did you use Googles OpenID provider? Yes, that's your Gmail account! Or for how many services did you use your Gmail account as the email address? You know that password resets go to that account, right?
Don't do that? Maybe you use Google Calendar, then. So yes, there is actually a lot of sensitive data in there. If you don't believe me, try to get a hold of a friends calendar, and see what you can guess about that person just from the calendar.
Or should someone just post some slander about you on you G+ profile? Or buy some apps from the Android Market? Of course this things never happen to you...
So just take the time to, besides looking at the time or the latest message on your phone, open that stupid app and type that stupid code in! It's not THAT much work!
