Calling all hackers and passionate people. Scriptovia is currently looking for a web developer who can make a long term commitment to help Scriptovia become the number one online education portal out there. Since we are still a small team, you will play a key role in the development of our websites and will be able to call Scriptovia.com your own. You will participate in directing the creative and technical strategy of Scriptovia moving forward and your impact will be potentially felt by millions of people around the world. Don’t worry too much about which languages you know, we are more interested in your passion and motivation. You can check out our jobs page here for a better description of our needs. If you are interested, send me an email to aseem@scriptovia.com.

Ok this is totally unrelated to Scriptovia but I had to comment. It seems that The Times is reporting that Yahoo and News Corp may agree to a deal in which News Corp receives 25% of Yahoo in exchange for MySpace. As of right now, Yahoo’s market cap. is 37.13 Billion dollars. So MySpace is worth 9.3 billion dollars? I don’t know about you but the last time I logged into MySpace most of my comments were ads and 80% of the current bulletins were ads. In my opinion, MySpace is way past its prime. I can’t bring myself to believe that Yahoo would even consider this deal, but if this news is real then my advice for Yahoo is to get into bed with Mark Zuckerburg!

It looks like we just got a review on KillerStartups.com. You can check it out here. Make sure to vote for us and leave a comment about how you think we will do. I have also added their widget to the sidebar of this blog so you can stay updated on how we are doing. Thanks to the people at KillerStartups.com who wrote the review!

We have fixed the rendering problems that the site was having when viewing in Internet Explorer 6. As of yesterday the site has been thoroughly tested specifically in IE6 and there should be any major rendering problems specific to IE6, if there is let me know. My apologies for the inconvenience.

It has been a very busy week! On Tuesday we made our official BETA launch announcement. We got some good press coverage in the Seattle Post Intelligencer (thanks to John Cook for the great article!), the University of Washington Daily, and some other smaller outlets. We have also been working on bugs and finalizing some of the BETA technology.

Right now our highest priority bug is a rendering problem with the site when using Internet Explorer 6. If you visit the website using IE6, the right hand column will fall to the bottom of the page on the home page and My Portfolio page. Approximately 40 percent of our user base is accessing Scriptovia.com using IE6, so we are working as fast as we can to fix this bug. For those of you that are using Internet Explorer 6, I deeply apologize for the inconvenience and I promise to update you via this blog when the problem is fixed.

Other than the bugs, we are working on putting the finishing touches on the document conversion technology that will convert your documents into a format that you can view within your internet browser.

Please continue to send me feedback and bugs. I can be contacted through email, by phone, or you can leave a comment on this post for all to see.
