OT: Job opportunities

[Jason Shaw]

Hey Christopher, you absolutely correct about SAS and it's my fault, I
missed the second A in there as well to make it SAAS, Software As A Service.
 FreshBooks is an online invoicing company that stores the software and data
all on our servers and you access it all via a browser.

Sorry for the confusion :)
