This week it's e-riffic links.

InfoWorld: 2004 IT Salary survey. E-commerce Managers averaged $98,722. That's more than Information Security Manager ($79,250) and Database Manager ($88,915). The job of E-commerce Manager has been predicted to be a growth position for a while now. That's why I moved into the field from plain Jane Web development, and why I made that title a condition of my employment. Do I personally make what InfoWorld says is the average? No, but I work for a small company in a third-tier city where the mortgage is cheap and the living's easy.
