Charles and Jim,
Hope you're all doing good! I understand both of your positions and think you're both right.... not mentioning Asterisk (which is the reason for this List/group) might sound a little bit as "un cheveu dans la soupe"; but, on the opposite hand, looking for Exchange skills (this being a Communication/collaboration suite), although makes the assumption of involving Asterisk in the game plan might appear to on as negating the use and naissance of this group as per se. I personally think we should look into every opportunities wherein to fit Asterisk in... and we'll agree that brings around this table... ..and I am almost certain that's what might have driven Charles' offer to the group this evening..... Charles - your offer sounds great; and would be an excellent opportunity for one to use that Exchange skill in conjunction with Asterisk; however, I'm afraid your offer might need to be rephrased a little bit... Thanks all for your time and until then, guys, have a wonderful day! Warmest Regards, Claudius It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit. -- President Harry S.

Sorry. I think I was locked up in a windowless test lab for too many years with guys like Roy from the British "IT Crowd" sitcom who are impressed by Sinclairs and SX64s. Didn't I see a Zork Asterisk demo at the Taug table? Things that make you smart was a reference from a book and a TNG episode. "Good luck finding your Girl Friday." Hey wait! Is that condescending? ;-) /Charles THINGS THAT MAKE US SMART: Defending Human Attributes in the Age of the Machine by Donald A.

Charles I know you were only trying to keep it light hearted but it came across to me as extremely condescending. Good luck finding your Girl Friday. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jim Van Meggelen <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] ; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, July 15, 2006 9:05 PM Subject: RE: [biz] Exchange / Windows / Unix Work Opportunities This is an Asterisk business list, so if the business you are posting about is not relating to Asterisk, this is not the place for it. There are many of us in this group who are involved in all sorts of business; if we are now going to use this list for whatever we want, its value to the Asterisk community will quickly diminish. If it is not Asterisk (or VoIP) business, it has no business here.

It occurred to me after seeing Reza's post, this could actually be a great forum to seek out the unique. My first priority is to recruit someone with an exchange background and preferably someone who is comfortable with Exchange 2003. BES experience would be an asset. This role would be part-time as needed with no guaranteed hours. I would need you to be available during the day where you may receive a support request by phone, by ticket or through your PDA if you use one. It's likely that you would only need to do your support through a VPN, but there is always the chance of an onsite visit. You could be assigned to projects that may offer you full time work for a couple of weeks depending on project size. A friendly personality is equally as valuable as your knowledge! I'm also looking for junior to senior techs with either Windows Client / Server or Unix experience (ok this may sound redundant in this forum) for part-time work. Principal understanding and a friendly personality is more important to me than hearing you babble about your paper certifications. Also, it would be nice if you owned a tie. Unix experience in a hosting environment is preferred (Direct Admin, H-sphere CPs). If you are kept busy enough, you will get perks like a PDA, things that will make you smart, opportunity to touch a Commodore SX64 in pristine condition, or to hug our Making IT Work girl! Resumes and pay expectations are helpful. If you drive, mention it. Work is within the GTA. Kind regards, /Charles Charles T.
