Hi All,

I am over in the UK for a few weeks visiting family, but wanted to  
take the opportunity to say hello and speak to any Rubyists who might  
be interested in coming over to Melbourne to work.  I had hoped to  
come to the August Ruby meet but couldn't make it.

We have multiple roles to fill, from mid to senior rated devs - I have  
included a job description/blurb below and will be around until the  
end of August - so if you fancy getting sponsored to come to Australia  
and work for an awesome startup then email me at nick at blocksglobal.com  
asap!  You can also find out more about us at www.blocksglobal.com.

Also - are there any other meetups worth attending in the next couple  
of weeks?

Thanks,

Nick

p.s. I checked for job posting guidelines, but found none.  Hopefully  
this is acceptable.
