On Monday I officially started my new job at local.ch, the search engine for every village in Switzerland. We currently offer access to the phone book but will add other services in the future. I’ll keep you posted of course! There is also the local.ch Team Blog where I’ll contribute to. I’ll mainly be working in system administration (we run a small server farm mainly on Linux) and programming (starting with PHP frontend work). I’ll also be responsible for the community part of local.ch. We have a few ideas about contributing back to the Swiss blogosphere and that will be my job.
