Hi! How are you doing? I hope that you're seeing the sun during this dark time of year.
Things are cold and busy up here. It was like summer--strange--until this month, though. We're all going to work by spring. The head hunters (recruiters, temp. offices) in your neighborhood say that only Java and C# are in demand, and that defense contractors only want people who already have clearances (instead of people who can get them). That town reminds me of college towns in the Midwest--really laid back. ...must be all of that easy .gov funding. Heh.
So we'll have to do the consulting and marketing stuff ourselves (C++, Python, Unix or Windows).

You also have a private message. Let us know how things are going for you. We only get down that way once in a great while.
