And you can help!

We're looking for savvy .NET developers to help vault us into the next phases of our company's evolution. We are interested in hiring young and experienced developers and/or aspiring college or graduate school dropouts with aspirations exceeding what normal career paths offer. The opportunity will involve equity in the form of stock, a salary based on your experience, a management position as the company grows, as well as access to an accomplished and engaging network of luminaries in the tech industry.

You'll ideally have a sense of aesthetic in relation to design both as an interface and as art.

Ideally, you'll have:

- Heavy experience with C# and/or .NET in general.
- Experience in designing modular, object-oriented Flex 2/Actionscript 3 applications.
- Experience with relational databases.
- Large-scale OOP application background in any programming language.
- Experience or strong interest in user interface design.
- Familiarity with high-performance network-based applications.
- Past experience working on comprehensive development projects without close supervision.

If you've been unable to open images from your computer in Splashup and you have recently upgraded to Leopard we'd like to inform you of an issue with the Flash Player, specific to your platform, that is, in fact, not a bug in Splashup.

There is currently a problem with file handling in Flash Player on the Leopard release of OSX. This is an issue Adobe is working diligently to remedy and is endemic to all Flash-based applications requiring file system support. Though there is not an official fix that is production ready by Adobe they have published a prelease of the next Flash Player update which resolves the issue.

If you're comfortable with adopting early, and trust Adobe (as we do), then we would kindly ask you to navigate to the following location to install this latest version.

We apologize for any problems this may have caused you and hope that these types of things won't occur again. Additionally, we'd like to thank the kind users who diligently reported the problem and worked with us to identify specifically when the problem occurs.

Thank you,

Splashup is the next step in our evolution as the original, easy to use, web-based image editor for experienced users. We enjoyed a stimulating and productive summer in Cambridge, MA and Palo Alto, CA, where we met some legends of the industry, saw our team grow, and took the time to build out features and to improve the editor and site as a whole.

In addition to a slew of updates, we are most proud to announce our 'one of a kind' online windowed work environment, as well as the beginnings of our integration with image sharing services. Now you not only have a free, desktop-powerful image editor, but also a fast and easy way to share your creations!

Updates include, but are definitely not limited to:

 - Seamless integration with photo sharing sites
 - Resizable windows and panels
 - HUGE interface overhaul
 - Lasso
 - Crop tool
 - In canvas text editing
 - New and heavily improved open/save worklfow
 - Copy selection to new layer
 - Corner radius on marquees and rectangles

This is merely the beginning. We look forward to more regular feature updates, which will lead up to our greater vision in the not-too-distant future.

Thank you and enjoy,
Dave
