Hi John! (and list) Is that the ORIGINAL meaning of YAFUSAN? :P

Aha! Another one! I have severe doubts about the feasibility of managing the company
back in ZA at the same time. This is "The Far Far Side".... I found hopping from side to side of the planet whilst setting up the move damn near killed me.
Seriously? It sounds like you went through something similar.. got a story to tell? :)
Fortunately NZ is one of the more net connected and Linux friendly societies on this sorry globe. (even the corner curry house has a web site). (That's a plus (people use the 'net a lot) and a downside (there are a lot of OSS based web development shops in Christchurch already) and a plus (maybe someone's hiring).
I'm continuously amazed at how many NZ'ers are quietly plugging away
making really good contributions to OSS. Way out of proportion to the size of population I believe.
I'm realizing that more and more. You're a very friendly bunch, too, I might add!
As I have been through that unmerry "do six impossible things before breakfast every day for two years" process....
That sounds uncannily familiar... ...you are welcome to ask me questions about the process off list. I will do so. Don't want to clog up the list with non Linux-related chit-chat :) for jobs at Tait's. We make fairly heavy use of Linux here,
if any of them fit you, send your CV to me and I'll make sure it hits the right person at HR.
I'm hoping to make my way with contract work, rather than full-time employment. It's more of a rush :) So I'm open to once-off installations, we'll-pay-you-if-it-works jobs, etc.. Thanks again for the warm welcome! :D D
