Craigslist gigs

[prog]

I kind of don't know why I'm bothering to look at Craigslist "computer gigs" posts. Ninety-five percent of them fall into these formats:

• I'm looking for an "intern" to work 20 hours a week on this project. I have many shiny bottlecaps I can pay you with. Great for college students!

• Here is a somewhat reasonable request for a piece of custom software. Please submit your bid. Not looking to spend more than $50.

• MY COMPUTER BREOK I PUT THE CABLE IN AND THE MAN SAID IT WORK OK BUT IT IS BLANK HOW LONG TO FIX

Anyway, this is why I launched a Google Adwords campaign for Appleseed yesterday...

Heh... actually, if you subscribe to CL boards' RSS feeds, you can see the inline snark-posts before they get mod-zapped. They make for about five percent of the total content in this board, but I didn't count em in this tally. :)
