Thanks Larry, See, this is what I get for explaining only part of my life for the last 4 months that I've been accidentally AWOL from the cf-community list. :)
Actually John recruited me for the job I had here since November, which didn't work out for various reasons, (a couple of which I've mentioned) and is inquiring around town about other opportunities here to help me out since it hasn't worked out. I've had good experiences with John, he's a nice guy, and I see him getting routinely frustrated with some of the same tech. issues that prompted me to finally pull the plug. But he's just a consultant for this company and has other clients, so when he's frustrated with it he knows it's not his only lifeline. He mentioned there being a couple of internal groups at UVA that use CF pretty heavily, which could be cool. I've never had a university or gov't job before (with the exception of the Broward County Property Appraiser's office site which I worked on by way of a small consulting company in Ft Lauderdale who later ran out of work and apparently disolved). Anyway... I think I've been on the Wash. Post site briefly, but have been bouncing around between different job sites, so I don't think I've checked it thoroughly. I'll have to go have another look at it. Thanks. :) > Issac, you may want to check out the Washington Post web > site there > are quite a few CF related jobs.
